Chemical Information
FooDB NameSAICAR
DescriptionSAICAR, also known as succino-aicar or saicaribotide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1-ribosyl-imidazolecarboxamides. These are organic compounds containing the imidazole ring linked to a ribose ring through a 1-2 bond. Many affected children with organic acidemias experience intellectual disability or delayed development. SAICAR is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). SAICAR exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Within humans, SAICAR participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, SAICAR can be biosynthesized from 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxylate and L-aspartic acid through its interaction with the enzyme multifunctional protein ADE2. In addition, SAICAR can be converted into fumaric acid and AICAR; which is catalyzed by the enzyme adenylosuccinate lyase. When present in sufficiently high levels, SAICAR can act as an oncometabolite, a metabotoxin, and an acidogen. In humans, SAICAR is involved in the metabolic disorder called the purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency pathway. Outside of the human body, SAICAR has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as canola, sago palms, cashew nuts, giant butterburs, and swedes. This could make SAICAR a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. SAICAR (or (S)-2-succinate) is a substrate for the multifunctional protein ADE2. SAICAR is a potentially toxic compound. An acidogen is an acidic compound that induces acidosis, which has multiple adverse effects on many organ systems. SAICAR, with regard to humans, has been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including fumarase deficiency and atic deficiency. These can progress to heart, liver, and kidney abnormalities, seizures, coma, and possibly death. As an oncometabolite, high levels of SAICAR stimulate pyruvate kinase isoform M2 and promote cancer cell survival in glucose-limited conditions such as aerobic glycolysis (PMID: 23086999). SAICAR is an intermediate in purine metabolism. As an organic acid, SAICAR is associated with acidosis.
