Description
FAICAR (5-Formamidoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribotide) is a purine nucleotide and substrate for the IMP cyclohydrolase of ATIC from Cryptococcus neoformans. FAICAR is a key intermediate in the de novo purine biosynthesis pathway. FAICAR can be used in the research of diseases associated with Cryptococcus neoformans infection[1][2].
