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.
