Arimoclomol is a orally administered drug used to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and was later discovered to be a potential insulin resistance treatment and diabetic complications. Arimoclomol is believed to function by stimulating a normal cellular protein repair pathway through the activation of molecular chaperones. Arimoclomol could treat a broad range of diseases. Arimoclomol activates the heat shock response. It is believed to act at Hsp70.
