Amlexanox Research Guide
Full name: Amlexanox (TBK1/IKKε Inhibitor)
An anti-inflammatory compound that inhibits TBK1 and IKKε kinases, enzymes that create obesity-driven insulin resistance. Emerging in telemedicine for metabolic syndrome and stubborn weight loss.
How Amlexanox Works
Inhibits IKKε and TBK1 kinases that are upregulated in obesity, which normally suppress energy expenditure. Blocking these kinases restores thermogenesis and improves insulin sensitivity.
