AICAR
AMPK activator for metabolic research.
01 — Overview
Overview
An AMP-activated protein kinase activator investigated for cellular-energy and endurance-metabolism research.
02 — Science
Mechanism of Action
At the molecular level, AICAR is under investigation for its signaling activity across the pathways associated with metabolic health. Current preclinical research suggests interactions studied strictly within cellular and in-vitro models, where receptor binding and downstream signaling cascades are characterized to understand its biochemical profile.

Storage & Handling
Recommended Storage
Store lyophilized peptide at 2–8°C for short-term handling and at -20°C for long-term storage, protected from light and moisture. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic or sterile water for research use. Add diluent slowly against the vial wall and swirl gently until dissolved — do not shake. Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within the validated stability window. Do not use if the solution appears cloudy or contains particulates.
