AICAR

• AICAR (Acadesine)

  • Adenosine analog metabolized to ZMP, a direct activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)

    A small-molecule research compound rather than a peptide

  • Studied as an “exercise mimetic” for endurance and metabolic signaling

    Investigated for glucose uptake and fatty-acid oxidation pathways

  • Referenced in cellular-energy, metabolic, and ischemia research models

  Research Use Notes

  • Supplied as lyophilized powder

    Requires reconstitution before use

  • Research Water required for mixing (sold separately)

    Swirl gently, never shake

  Storage

  • Store lyophilized vial frozen for long-term holding

  • Keep reconstituted solution at 2 to 8°C

    Protect from light and heat

Handling

• Maintain sterile technique throughout reconstitution

• Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve integrity
