Research Profile
AICAR
Literature-based research context for laboratory reference only.
AICAR is a cell-permeable AMPK activator that mimics cellular energy deficit. Research has extensively explored its role in activating AMPK-mediated metabolic adaptations including enhanced fatty acid oxidation, glucose uptake, and mitochondrial biogenesis.

Overview
AICAR is presented here as a laboratory reference entry. The Research Profile summarizes literature-based biological context, while this Overview documents the identity record, specification set, preparation format, and quality-reference information available on the page.
The identity block lists CAS number 2627-69-2, molecular formula C₉H₁₄N₄O₅, and molecular weight 258.2 Da. The material record is paired with ≥99% purity information and a lyophilized presentation for reference review.
Available specification labels include 50mg. The active selection is 50mg; changing the selector updates the visible specification label and COA lot references while preserving the same research-reference context.
For the active selection, the page currently shows 1 active COA lot reference. COA links, when present, are retained for batch-level purity, identity, and quantity review, while packaging and storage details remain separated in Structure & Identity.
