About this compound
AICAR
AMPK-activating nucleoside
AICAR (acadesine) is a cell-permeable adenosine analogue that is converted inside the cell to ZMP, an AMP mimetic. It is the classic pharmacological activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in metabolic research.
ZMP-mediated AMPK activation is studied in vitro for energy-sensing and glucose-uptake signalling.

AICAR is 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR), an AMPK activator, supplied by MyPeptides for laboratory research use only.
AICAR is 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR), an AMPK activator. MyPeptides supplies it as a lyophilised 50 mg vial for in vitro laboratory research, HPLC assayed at ≥99% purity with a signed certificate of analysis on every batch.
Researchers reach for AICAR in AMPK signalling and cellular energy-metabolism research. It is offered strictly for laboratory investigation — no personal-use claims, no dosing guidance, and no framing as a medicine.
The point of buying research grade rather than generic material is documentation. Every AICAR order carries lot-specific HPLC and mass-spec data, so the compound in your protocol matches the compound named on the paperwork. Small-molecule AMPK activator rather than a peptide — useful as a positive control.
