BRD7389 is an inhibitor of ribosomal S6 kinases (RSKs; IC₅₀s = 1.5, 2.4, and 1.2 μM for RSK1, RSK2, and RSK3, respectively). Through this action, BRD7389 causes mouse αTC1 pancreatic α cells to adopt several morphological and gene expression features of β cells, including increased insulin expression. BRD7389 also enhances glucose-stimulated insulin and glucagon secretion by pancreatic islet cells isolated from human donors with a low body mass index.

ChEBI: LSM-4550 is a member of anthracenes.
