The Uses of 5'-AMINOIMIDAZOLE-4-CARBOXAMIDE-1-BETA-D-RIBOFURANOSYL 5'-MONOPHOSPHATE

AICAR monophosphate is a 5′′-phosphorylated analog of cell permeable AICAR that mimics AMP. AICAR is an adenosine monophophate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator/agonist.

What are the applications of Application

AICA-Riboside, 5′-Phosphate is an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator mimic

Definition

ChEBI: AICA ribonucleotide is a 1-(phosphoribosyl)imidazolecarboxamide that is acadesine in which the hydroxy group at the 5' position has been converted to its monophosphate derivative. It has a role as a cardiovascular drug, a plant metabolite, a human metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a 1-(phosphoribosyl)imidazolecarboxamide and an aminoimidazole. It is functionally related to an acadesine. It is a conjugate acid of a 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide(2-).

General Description

5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl 5′-monophosphate (AICAR monophosphate) is an intermediate metabolite in the purine de novo synthesis pathway and a potent activator of the human AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity in vitro. It can play an important regulatory role.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A 5′-phosphorylated analog of cell permeable AICAR that mimics adenosine monophosphate (AMP). It is an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator.In humans, 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl 5′-monophosphate (AICAR) is found to be accumulated in numerous metabolic diseases. It can increase the endurance of sedentary mice. AICAR exhibits antiproliferative effects. It can induce apoptosis of aneuploid cells.
