| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [adenosine regulating agents]
Acadesine is the prototype of a new class of compounds termed adenosine regulating agents. Acadesine is a purine nucleosid analogue that enters the myocyte and is immediately phosphorylated to ZMP (AICA ribotide), which is further metabolised to Inosine mono-phosphate (an intermediate in the synthesis ofadenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine triphos-phate).
Claims that acadesine may serve as a substrate for ATP synthesis and result in repletion of myocardial ATP were supported by some studies and refuted by others. Because acadesine may be a precursor in the synthesis of myocardial ATP it was proposed as a possible agent of myocardial protection during ischaemia, particularly because myocardial ATP depletion has been linked to cell death. |

glucose uptake stimulant; AMPK activator | [Definition]
ChEBI: A 1-ribosylimidazolecarboxamide in which the carboxamide group is situated at position 4 of the imidazole ring, which is further substituted at position 5 by an amino group. A purine nucleoside analogue and activator of AMP-activated protein kinase, it is
is used for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and is reported to have cardioprotective effects. | [Manufacturing Process]
Adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic phosphate N'-oxide (76.0 g, 0.200 mole) as the dihydrate was dissolved in a solution of 400 ml DMSO and 31.0 g (0.204
mole) 1,5-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-5-ene. The solution was cooled to 15°C
and 40 ml methyl iodide was added with stirring at room temperature. After
30 min, the mixture had gelled; 1.5 L ethanol was added and the solid was
thoroughly homogenized by vigorous stirring. The solid was filtered, and the
resulting paste was resuspended in 2 L ethanol and homogenized. The product
was again filtered, washed with ethanol and ether, and dried, giving 80.4 g of
1-methoxyadenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate suitable for further transformation
(recrystallization from aqueous methanol with ether).
A solution of 30.0 g 1-methoxyadenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate (81.5 mmole),
20.0 g NaHCO3 (238 mmole), and 300 ml H2O was refluxed 45 mm. The pH
of the solution was adjusted to 2.5 with Dowex 50x8 (H)+ while warm, and a
water pump vacuum was applied to mixture to remove CO2. The pH was
readjusted to 9-10 with NaOH, and the resin was removed by filtration. The
solution was passed onto a column containing 400 ml Dowex 1x2 (formate,
100-200 mesh), and the column was washed well with water. The column was
eluted with a gradient of 4 L water in the mixing chamber and 4 L 4 N formic
acid in the reservoir. The first major product, coming after about 2 L eluate,
was 5-amino-N-methoxy-1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazole-4-carboxamidine 3',5'-
cyclic phosphate, giving 5.4 g (19%) after evaporation of the solvent and
trituration of the residue with ethanol (recrystallization from water).
A solution of 5.0 g (14.3 mmoles) 5-amino-N-methoxy-1-β-Dribofuranosylimidazole-
4-carboxamidine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate in 200 ml H2
preheated to 60°C and containing approximately 5.0 g moist sponge nickel
catalyst, was shaken with 2-3 atm. H2 at 60°C for 2 h. The filtered solution
was evaporated to dryness to give 3.75 g of 5-amino-1-β-Dribofuranosylimidazole-
4-carboxamidine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate (82%),
(recrystallization from water).
A mixture of 4.0 g (12.5 mmole) 5-amino-1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazole-4-
carboxamidine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate and 100 ml conc. NH4OH was heated in
a bomb at 100°C for 16 h, then cooled and evaporated in vacuum. The
residue was taken up in 100 ml H2O and applied to a 2.5x20 cm column of
Dowex 1x2 (formate form, 100-200 mesh). After washing well with H2O the
column was eluted with a gradient of 1 L H2O in the mixing chamber and 1 L
3 N formic acid in the reservoir. Fractions containing the product, appearing
near the end of the elution, were evaporated. Trituration of the residue with
EtOH gave 2.90 g (68%) of 5-amino-1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazole-4-
carboxamide 3',5'-cyclic phosphate.
The 5-amino-1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazole-4-carboxamide may be produced
by hydrolysis of 5-amino-1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazole-4-carboxamide 3',5'-
cyclic phosphate with NaOH. | [Therapeutic Function]
Cardiotonic, Platelet aggregation inhibitor | [General Description]
Adenosine monophosphate?protein kinase (AMPK) activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide?ribonucleotide?(AICAR)?modulates cellular energy. It regulates lipid and glucose metabolism, pro-inflammatory responses,?cytokine production,?cell proliferation and apoptosis. AICAR improves ischemia or reperfusion injury and kidney fibrosis in rats. It provides protection against acute tubular necrosis. | [Biological Activity]
Cell-permeable, allosteric activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Augments proliferation, differentiation and mineralization of osteoblastic MC3T3-EI cells and attenuates psychosine-induced expression of proinflammatory cytokines and iNOS in astrocytes. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
AICAR is a cell permeable activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a metabolic master regulator that is activated in times of reduced energy availability (high cellular AMP:ATP ratios) and serves to inhibit anabolic processes. In vivo, pharmacologic activation of AMPK with AICAR mimics exercise and triggers insulin-independent glucose uptake by skeletal muscle. | [storage]
