AICAR (Standard)

AICAR (Standard) is the analytical standard of AICAR. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. AICAR (Acadesine) is an adenosine analog and a AMPK activator. AICAR regulates the glucose and lipid metabolism, and inhibits proinflammatory cytokines and iNOS production. AICAR is also an autophagy, YAP and mitophagy inhibitor[1][2].
