Phenformin
Phenformin is a biguanide-class antidiabetic agent that lowers blood glucose primarily by inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis and improving peripheral insulin sensitivity through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Although withdrawn from most markets due to a high risk of lactic acidosis, it has garnered renewed research interest as a potential antineoplastic agent, particularly in melanoma, through its effects on cellular metabolism and mTOR pathway inhibition.
