Research Overview
AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is an analog of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) that activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).
Mechanism of Action
Converted intracellularly to ZMP, which mimics AMP and allosterically activates AMPK, triggering catabolic pathways and inhibiting anabolic processes.
Research Applications
AMPK pathway studies, exercise mimetic research, glucose uptake investigation, fatty acid oxidation modeling, metabolic stress response.
Key Research Findings
Potent AMPK activation mimics exercise-induced metabolic changes. Enhances glucose uptake independent of insulin signaling in muscle cell cultures.
