Orazamide, which is composed of one molecule of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide (AICA), one molecule of orotic acid and two molecules of water, is used clinically for the treatment of hepatitis and cirrhosis The nucleoside of AICA (AICAR) is internalized and becomes phosphorylated by adenosine kinase to form AICAR mono-phosphate (AICA ribotide, ZMP), an intermediate in the late steps of de novo purine biosynthesis. In hepatocytes, AICA can inhibit the fatty acid synthesis, sterol synthesis, and gluconeogenesis.

In Vitro Use Guide

For analysis of TNF-alpha, macrophages were plated onto either 24-well or 6-well tissue culture plates. Cells (1.5x10^6 cells/ml) were treated with various concentrations (0.1, 0.5 and 1 mM) of AICAR (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide) and LPS, as indicated. The quantity of TNF-a in culture supernatants was measured with an ELISA kit, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The concentrations of TNF-a in each sample were calculated from a standard curve prepared using known concentrations of recombinant TNF- alpha.
