AICAR — direct AMPK activator research compound. Studied as exercise mimetic in metabolic pathway research.

AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is a research compound that directly activates AMPK — the cellular energy sensor.
AICAR is converted intracellularly to ZMP, an AMP analog that activates AMPK without altering ATP/ADP ratios. AMPK activation produces metabolic effects similar to exercise.
Used in: AMPK signaling research, exercise mimetic studies, metabolic pathway research, comparative AMPK activator studies.
