Description
AICA-Riboside, 5′-Phosphate is a monophosphorylated analog of the membrane permeable AICA-Riboside that mimics AMP and behaves as an AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) activator. AICA-Riboside, 5′-Phosphate displays similar effects of its parent derivative including stimulating glucose transport in certain skeletal-muscle cell lines.5-aminoimidazole-4-formamide-1-β-d-ribofuran 5 '-monophosphate (AICAR) is a natural metabolic intermediate in purine biosynthesis, commonly found in all organisms. It is produced by succinyl-Aicar (SAICAR) with the help of adenylate succinase (ASL).Application:5-aminoimidazole-4-formamide-1-β-D-ribofuranyl 5 '-monophosphate was used in the study to explore the anticancer effects of nine statins in breast cancer and glioblastoma; AICAR monophosphate is a 5 "-phosphorylated analog of cellular permeable AICAR that mimics AMP. AICAR is an adenosine monophosphate (AMP) activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator/agonist
