Description
Description AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide, also known as Acadesine) is a nucleoside analog supplied strictly for in vitro laboratory research use only in controlled research environments. This material is intended solely for studies exploring AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and downstream cellular energy metabolism pathways in non-clinical model systems. Not for human or veterinary use.
Composition
- AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide)
- Appearance: Lyophilized powder in a sealed research vial
Research Focus (non-clinical)
- Investigation of AMPK activation and associated signaling cascades in in vitro or ex vivo models
- Evaluation of cellular energy metabolism, glucose uptake, and fatty acid oxidation endpoints in laboratory studies
- Assessment of mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolic stress response in model systems
- Stability characterization of lyophilized AICAR under laboratory storage conditions
For qualified research professionals and institutional laboratories only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical application.

Storage Instructions
All products from Research Vials are manufactured using a lyophilization (freeze-drying) process. This method is designed to maintain product integrity and allows vials to remain stable during shipping for approximately 3–4 months.
Once a vial is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, it should be stored in the refrigerator to help maintain stability. Under these conditions, reconstituted material is generally considered stable for up to 30 days.
Lyophilization is a dehydration technique in which compounds are frozen and then exposed to low pressure. The water in the vial sublimates — going from solid to gas. What remains is a stable, crystalline white solid. This powder can be kept at room temperature until reconstitution.
Upon receipt, products should be stored away from heat and light. For short-term use, refrigeration at approximately 4°C (39°F) is suitable. For long-term storage (several months to years), vials may be placed in a freezer at approximately -80°C (-112°F). Freezing is the preferred method for preserving product stability over extended periods.
