5-Amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
5-Amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide may be used in the synthesis of 4-(N′-benzoylcarbamoyl)amino-5-imidazolecarboxamide and 5-amino-1-β-D-ribosyl-4-imidazolecarboxamide-5′-phosphate (AICAR).It is an imidazole derivative which is a metabolite of the antineoplastic agents BIC and DIC. By itself, or as the ribonucleotide, it is used as a condensation agent in the preparation of nucleosides and nucleotides. When compounded with orotic acid, it is used to treat liver diseases.

Chemical Properties
White to Off-White Solid
Uses
A metabolite of Temozolomide
Uses
4-Aminoimidazole-5-carboxamide is used as Catalytic agent, Petrochemical additive. It is metabolite of temozolomide.
Uses
5-Amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide may be used in the synthesis of 4-(N′-benzoylcarbamoyl)amino-5-imidazolecarboxamide and 5-amino-1-β-D-ribosyl-4-imidazolecarboxamide-5′-phosphate (AICAR).
Application
5-Amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) is an analog of AMP and an activator of AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK). It prevents/reverses drug-induced mitochondrial and hepatocellular damage by regulating mitochondrial fusion and mitophagy in acetaminophen and diclofenac-induced hepatic cell toxicity of murine and human origin[1].
Definition
ChEBI: An aminoimidazole in which the amino group is at C-5 with a carboxamido group at C-4.
