AICAR is a well-characterized AMPK activator referenced extensively in published preclinical literature. In vitro and in vivo studies have explored its activity in skeletal muscle, hepatic tissue, and adipocyte cell models, with research interest focused on glucose uptake pathways, fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and exercise-related signaling cascades. It is commonly used as a positive control in AMPK pathway research.
This compound is supplied strictly for research purposes. No clinical or therapeutic application is implied or represented.

How should I store this peptide?+
Lyophilized peptides should be stored at −20°C in a dry, light-protected environment. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C and use within 4-8 weeks depending on the compound.
What should I reconstitute it with?+
Bacteriostatic water or sterile water for research use. We recommend our companion BAC Water for consistency. Specific reconstitution volume depends on your research protocol — refer to the Specifications tab for solubility data.
How quickly do orders ship?+
Orders confirmed before 2:00 PM CT ship the same business day from our facility in Tulsa, OK. Standard US transit is 2-5 business days. Tracking provided at shipment.
Is the COA verified independently?+
Yes. Every lot is tested by HPLC for purity (target ≥99%) and mass spectrometry for molecular identity before release. The COA is generated from the actual lot data, not a generic template.
Can I get bulk or institutional pricing?+
Yes — qualified research facilities and high-volume orders receive tiered pricing. Contact us with your institution information and target quantities.
