AICA Ribonucleotide (AICAR)

AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is a cell-permeable AMPK activator widely used in metabolic and sports science research. It mimics the physiological effects of exercise by activating AMP-activated protein kinase, thereby enhancing glucose uptake, stimulating fatty acid oxidation, and promoting energy homeostasis. This compound is particularly valuable for studying insulin sensitivity, endurance enhancement, and anti-obesity mechanisms. With high purity and excellent solubility, AICAR is suitable for in vitro cell assays, animal models, and preclinical formulations. Researchers and biotech developers rely on AICAR to investigate metabolic regulation, muscle performance, and potential therapeutic applications in diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Its stability under standard storage conditions ensures consistent performance across experimental batches, making it a preferred choice for advanced biochemical and pharmacological studies.

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

AICAR functions as an analog of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and is phosphorylated intracellularly to ZMP (ZMP carboxamide), which mimics AMP and allosterically activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This activation triggers downstream signaling pathways that promote catabolic processes such as fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake while inhibiting anabolic pathways like lipid and protein synthesis. By mimicking the cellular energy deficit state, AICAR effectively reprograms metabolism to enhance energy efficiency and cellular survival, making it a powerful tool for studying metabolic adaptation, insulin resistance, and exercise mimetics in both in vitro and in vivo models.

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

AICAR is primarily indicated for research purposes in metabolic disease modeling, sports science, and aging-related studies. It is used to investigate mechanisms of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and muscle performance enhancement. Additionally, AICAR serves as a valuable tool in cardiovascular and neurodegenerative research due to its protective effects on mitochondrial function and cellular energy homeostasis. Researchers in academia and industry utilize AICAR to evaluate potential therapeutic interventions targeting metabolic dysregulation, endurance training effects, and age-associated decline in physical capacity.

3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

Although not approved for human clinical use, AICAR has demonstrated significant efficacy in preclinical models for improving glucose tolerance, reducing body fat, and enhancing exercise endurance. In animal studies, AICAR administration has been shown to increase treadmill running time, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce adipose tissue mass. These findings support its potential as a metabolic modulator, though clinical translation remains limited due to pharmacokinetic challenges and safety concerns. Current research continues to explore its efficacy in controlled human trials for metabolic syndrome and performance optimization, positioning AICAR as a promising but investigational compound in metabolic pharmacology.
