AICAR (Acadesine)

AMPK agonist that acts via the ZMP metabolite, mimicking the cellular energy-stress state induced by exercise or fasting; explored for endurance and metabolic effects.

CategoryLongevity / Metabolic
Typical routeSubcutaneous
Half-lifeNot well characterized in humans
Common dose range1-5 mg/day, research-stage dosing
Typical cycle lengthNot well established

BioHack Track models AICAR (Acadesine) at a half-life of 2 hours, so every dose you log is decayed against that curve and the app shows what is still circulating — not just what you typed.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water.

Storage

Refrigerate after reconstitution.

Cautions

WADA-prohibited as a metabolic modulator (Section S4). Almost entirely animal/preclinical human-relevant data.

Track AICAR (Acadesine) in BioHack Track. Half-life, dose range and route come pre-filled from this library — log a dose and the app counts your vial down, models what is in your system, and puts it on the same chart as your labs and body composition.
