Background:
Skyrin is a fungal metabolite characterized by a bisanthraquinone structure. It interferes with glucagon signaling through adenylate cyclase without binding to the glucagon receptor. At 10 μM, skyrin reduces both glucagon-stimulated cAMP production and glycogenolysis. It does not interfere with epinephrine or glucagon-like peptide 1 effects on these parameters.[1]
