About AICAR 50mg

What is AICAR?

AICAR, also known as Acadesine or AICA Riboside, is an adenosine analogue that has been extensively studied in preclinical research. It functions as a cell-permeable activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) — a master regulator of cellular energy homeostasis. AICAR mimics the effects of exercise at the cellular level by activating AMPK signalling pathways, making it one of the most researched compounds in metabolic science.

Mechanism of Action

Upon cellular uptake, AICAR is phosphorylated to AICAR monophosphate (ZMP), which mimics AMP and allosterically activates AMPK. This activation triggers downstream effects including enhanced fatty acid oxidation, improved glucose uptake, and modulation of mitochondrial biogenesis — all key areas of interest in metabolic and exercise physiology research.

Research Applications

• AMPK activation and metabolic pathway research
• Glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity studies
• Mitochondrial biogenesis investigation
• • Endurance and exercise physiology research
  • Cardiac protection and ischaemia research
  • Anti-inflammatory pathway studies
  • Cellular energy homeostasis modelling

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is AICAR 50mg used for?

AICAR 50mg is used exclusively for research and laboratory purposes. It is a well-studied AMPK activator used in preclinical studies related to metabolism, glucose regulation, endurance physiology, and cellular energy signalling.

What is the purity of your AICAR?

Our AICAR is ≥98% pure as verified by HPLC analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) from an independent third-party lab is available for every batch.

How should AICAR 50mg be stored?

AICAR should be stored at -20°C in a dry, dark environment. Once reconstituted, use within 30 days and store at 4°C.

What is the difference between AICAR and other AMPK activators?

AICAR is one of the most widely referenced AMPK activators in published research due to its cell-permeability and well-characterised mechanism of action via ZMP, distinguishing it from compounds like metformin or resveratrol.

Is AICAR the same as Acadesine?

Yes. AICAR and Acadesine are the same compound (CAS 2627-69-2), also referred to as AICA Riboside. All names refer to 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide.
