AICA-riboside, 5'-phosphate is AICA riboside with a phosphate group. The functions of AICA riboside include: 1) conversion into AMP mimetic to selectively activate AMPK, 2) competition with adenosine for the uptake of nucleoside transporters, reversible blocking of adenosine reuptake, increasing extracellular adenosine concentration, and indirectly activating adenosine A1 receptors. AICA riboside is involved in metabolic regulation (promoting catabolism and inhibiting anabolism) and adenosine-dependent neuroprotection (inhibiting excitatory synaptic transmission). AICA riboside can be used in the study of metabolic diseases (such as diabetes and obesity) and neurological diseases (such as ischemia and epilepsy), and has central nervous system protective activity[1][2].
