AICAR 50mg Research Compound
Research-Grade Synthetic Nucleoside Analogue
Product Overview
AICAR (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside), also called acadesine in scientific literature, is a synthetic nucleoside analogue supplied as a 50mg research material. It is not an amino-acid peptide, although researchers often compare AICAR with peptide-based pathway tools in metabolic and cell-signaling experiments.
Published laboratory work has used AICAR in controlled experimental systems to study AMP-sensitive enzymes, AMPK-associated signaling, nucleoside metabolism, and cellular energy-sensing pathways. Those research contexts do not establish a health benefit, therapeutic effect, or result in humans or animals.

Research Applications
AICAR is used as an experimental tool in carefully designed laboratory protocols. Common areas of investigation include:
- AMPK-Associated Assays: Evaluation of AMP-sensitive signaling and downstream pathway markers in defined in vitro systems.
- Cellular Energy-Sensing Models: Study of how experimental cells respond to changes in nutrient availability, substrate use, and energy-state signaling.
- Nucleoside Metabolism: Investigation of cellular uptake, phosphorylation to ZMP in applicable models, and interactions with AMP-responsive enzymes.
- Analytical Method Development: Development of reference methods, concentration-response experiments, and appropriately controlled assay workflows.
Research Context and Limitations
In certain experimental systems, intracellular phosphorylation of AICAR can produce ZMP, an AMP analogue used to examine AMP-responsive processes. The extent and interpretation of that response depend on the cell model, concentration, exposure period, and analytical method.
Researchers should use validated controls and methods appropriate to their protocol. This product listing describes research context only and does not provide dosing, administration, reconstitution, diagnostic, or therapeutic guidance.
Important Research-Use Notice
FOR RESEARCH AND LABORATORY USE ONLY.
AICAR is not intended for human or animal use, consumption, compounding, therapeutic application, diagnostic procedures, or household use. It must be handled only by qualified personnel in an appropriate laboratory setting and in accordance with applicable laws, institutional requirements, and safety procedures.
