AICAR peptide (5‑aminoimidazole‑4‑carboxamide ribonucleotide, also known as ZMP) is a naturally occurring purine biosynthesis intermediate that mimics adenosine monophosphate (AMP). Research suggests that this peptide may act as a cell-permeable analog of AMP, activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and thereby supporting cellular energy regulation in various research models. It is of keen interest for its broad metabolic and signaling properties, and the benefits these properties may present to ongoing research.

Caffeine potentially taps into the body’s mechanisms for managing stress, energy, and aging through a key enzyme known as AMPK, which regulates energy balance.
