AICAR in brief
AICAR comes in one strength, 50mg x 10 vials, at $40.51 for the box of ten ($4.05 a vial, $0.081 per mg).
Nothing is held on the shelf: this is a special-order line, brought in on a 50-box minimum rather than held in stock; ask the desk for the date before ordering.
What AICAR is
AICAR is not a peptide. It is 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside, a nucleoside that is an intermediate in the purine synthesis pathway; the name is also used loosely for its monophosphate, ZMP, which is a separate compound. Formula C9H14N4O5, average mass 258.23. SLU-PP-332, from the SLU-PP series developed at Saint Louis University, is another line here that is not a peptide.
As a substance it is a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in water; this line is supplied as a lyophilised powder in sealed vials and is assayed by HPLC with UV detection. Its certificate reports purity by HPLC, net content and identity by mass spectrometry; its specification sets a water limit, because the ribose makes it hygroscopic.
AICAR beside MOTS-c and NAD+
Its neighbours, on price alone: MOTS-c at $0.669 per mg at 40mg (MS40), 2,174.6 g/mol; NAD+ at $0.012 per mg at 500mg (NJ500), 663.4 g/mol.
Reading an AICAR certificate of analysis (COA)
- A small-molecule certificate: HPLC purity at a UV wavelength and identity by mass; its specification has no residual-TFA line because there is no peptide synthesis behind it.
Worked out from what the sheet holds for this line; the batch certificate is the record. How to read one, and verify a batch number.

Questions about AICAR
AICAR or ZMP: which is this line?
AICAR, the ribonucleoside: 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside, C9H14N4O5 at 258.2, CAS 2627-69-2. ZMP is its monophosphate, a separate compound that the name is sometimes used for loosely, and on this line’s certificate the measured mass is matched to 258.2.
Where does AICAR sit by mass on this list?
Near the bottom. Among the lines that print a molecular weight, only L-carnitine, at 161.2, is lighter than AICAR’s 258.2, and the next two above it are SLU-PP-332, 32.1 heavier, and glutathione, 49.1 heavier. Its C9H14N4O5 is a ribose joined to an imidazole ring that carries an amine and a carboxamide, as its full name, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside, sets out: a nucleoside, not a peptide.
How much does AICAR cost?
It is sold only by special order, 50 boxes per strength, at $40.51 a sealed box of 10 vials, which works out at $0.081 per mg. The smallest order is 50 boxes of AR50, $2,025.50 of goods, with freight included to a US address. The price per vial is in this page’s price table.
What does AICAR cost per mg?
It is offered in one size, AR50 at 50mg x 10 vials, which works out at $0.081 per mg at $40.51 a sealed box of 10 vials, sold by special order with a 50-box minimum. Freight included to US addresses from $1,000 of goods.
Can I buy a single vial of AICAR?
No, and not a single box either. AICAR is a special-order line, brought in on a 50-box minimum rather than held in stock, so the smallest order is 50 sealed boxes of one strength: for AR50, 50mg x 10 vials, that is 50 boxes at $40.51, $2,025.50 of goods. A box is sealed at fill with its batch number on it, and splitting one would break the link between the vials and their certificate.
Is AICAR in stock today?
No. AR50 is special order: brought in on a 50-box minimum rather than held in stock; ask the desk for the date before ordering.
How is AICAR stored?
At minus 20 degrees Celsius, dark and dry. Lyophilised powder tolerates a short spell at ambient temperature in transit, which is why boxes ship without ice. Storage and handling.
What is in a box of AICAR?
Ten sealed vials of one strength, each labelled with the product code, the strength and the batch number; the trade also calls a box a 10-vial kit. AICAR is supplied as a powder in a sealed glass vial and in no other presentation. Boxes are not split.
Is a certificate of analysis (COA) provided for AICAR?
Yes. For AICAR the batch certificate reports its purity, net content and identity by mass spectrometry. The other lines on this page are the specification it is made to, and the desk answers for them on a particular batch. The certificate is sent with the shipment, and again on request, and any batch number can be verified on the certificate page.
Is this for human use?
No. Everything here is supplied for laboratory research only, to trade accounts, and is not for human or animal consumption. The research-use page sets out who can buy and what is not sold.
