General description
5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl 5′-monophosphate (AICAR), a natural metabolic intermediate of purine biosynthesis, is usually found in all organisms. It is produced from succinyl-AICAR (SAICAR) with the help of adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL) enzyme.
Application
5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl 5′-monophosphate has been used in the study to explore the anticancer effect of nine statins in breast cancer and glioblastoma.
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.
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.

Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) activation promotes a synthetic phenotype that underlies many vessel growth disorders. In this regard it has been suggested that the metabolic sensor adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has significant antigrowth and antimetastatic properties and may

Recent studies suggest that interleukin 6 (IL-6) is released from contracting skeletal muscles; however, the cellular origin, secretion kinetics, and signaling mechanisms regulating IL-6 secretion are unknown. To address these questions, we developed imaging methodology to study IL-6 in fixed

Physical exercise has potent therapeutic and preventive effects against metabolic disorders. A number of studies have suggested that 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a pivotal role in regulating carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in contracting skeletal muscles, while several genetically manipulated

In the obesity-resistant SJL mouse strain, we previously identified a naturally occurring loss-of-function mutation in the gene for Tbc1d1. Characterization of recombinant inbred mice that carried the Tbc1d1(SJL) allele on a C57BL/6J background indicated that loss of TBC1D1 protects from
