AICAR (phosphate) Usage And Synthesis

Biological Activity

aicar phosphate （acadesine）is an activator of ampk [1].aicar phosphate has been reported to induce apoptosis in a dose-dependent fashion and that the ec50 value is 380±60μm on the viability assay of b-cll cells. in addition, aicar phosphate has been revealed to induce caspase activation and cytochrome c release from mitochondria in b-cll cells. furthermore, aicar phosphate has shown that uptake and phosphorylation are required to induce apoptosis and activate ampk. apart from these, aicar phosphate (2-4 mm) has shown to only slightly affects the viability of t cells from b-cll patients, aicar phosphate (0.5 mm) has been noted to remarkedly reduces viability of b cells but not t cells [1].
