AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is a purine nucleotide analog. In a laboratory context, it functions as an activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Its use is confined to in vitro studies examining cellular energy pathways and the biochemical mechanisms associated with AMPK activation.
