Split article

The structure of AICAR is incorrect. It should not possess the phosphate group. Consequently/additionally, the discussion of the topic is incorrect and/or flawed. If I was more familiar with how to change things, I would make the changes. Until I am able to do that, I suggest this page be flagged or removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.172.102 (talk) 03:52, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Ribonucleotide or ribotide implies a phosphate group as well. See http://biocyc.org/META/NEW-IMAGE?type=COMPOUND&object=AICAR and http://www.chemspider.com/58620 --kupirijo (talk) 22:39, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought I read the references and they refer to the riboside NOT the ribotide. May I suggest splitting the article into 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribotide and 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside. --kupirijo (talk) 23:39, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article conflating two chemical compounds?

As noted above, there are two closely-related chemical compounds AICA ribonucleotide and acadesine, both of which are apparently referred to at times as AICAR. It seems to me that some of the references used to support content in this article are actually about acadesine, not AICA ribonucleotide. ChemNerd (talk) 20:33, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moved the entirety of this to Acadesine, as all sources indeed mentioned riboside, not ribotide. KingisNitro (talk) 18:41, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
