nicotinamide ascorbate

Nicotinamide ascorbate is a bioactive chemical.

Nicotinamide-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of nicotinamide by GC- or LC-MS. Nicotinamide is an amide form of niacin, which is also known as vitamin B3, that can be biosynthesized in vivo or obtained through the diet. It is a precursor in the synthesis of the metabolic cofactor NAD+ and an inhibitor of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1; IC50 = <50 µM). Nicotinamide (10 µM) increases the activity of serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) and the biosynthesis of ceramide, glucosylceramide, sphingomyelin, free fatty acids, and cholesterol in primary human keratinocytes. Nicotinamide (40 µM) induces apoptosis in SNU-398, SNU-739, and HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, and it prevents the formation of neoplastic lesions in a diethylnitrosamine-induced mouse model of HCC. Unlike niacin, nicotinamide does not reduce plasma lipid levels or induce flushing.

Nicotinamide Hydrochloride is a form of vitamin B3 or niacin that inhibits sirtuin 2 ( SIRT2 ) activity in vitro , with an EC 50 of 2 μM. Nicotinamide Hydrochloride inhibits up to 90% melanoma cell number and increases cellular NAD + , ATP, ROS levels. Nicotinamide Hydrochloride inhibts tumor growth in vivo and improves survival of melanoma-bearing mice, which can be used for the research of skin cancers such as melanoma .

Nicotinamide N-oxide (Nicotinamide 1-oxide) is recognized as an in vivo metabolite of nicotinamide which is a precurser of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in animals. The enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of nicotinamide N-oxide to nicotinamide in the liver is xanthine oxidase.
