Niacin hydrochloride is a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex occurring in various animal and plant tissues. It is needed by the body for the formation of coenzymes NAD and NADP. It possesses PELLAGRA-curative, vasodilating, and antilipemic properties.
Nicodicosapent is a fatty acid niacin conjugate. It is also an inhibitor of the sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP). The sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) is a key regulator of cholesterol metabolism proteins such as PCSK9, H
Methylmalonyl coenzyme A (methylmalonyl-CoA) is an intermediate in multiple metabolic pathways in bacteria and eukaryotes.1,2,3It is an intermediate in carbon assimilation in certain bacteria and carbon fixation in plants.1,2Methylmalonyl-CoA is converted to succinyl-CoA by methylmalonyl-CoA mutase with vitamin B12as a coenzyme.3A deficiency in vitamin B12leads to a build-up of methylmalonyl-CoA.4 1.Anthony, C.How half a century of research was required to understand bacterial growth on C1 and C2 compounds; the story of the serine cycle and the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathwaySci.

Nicotinamide riboside tartrate (NRT) is an oral NAD+ precursor that raises NAD+ levels, activates SIRT1 and SIRT3, and serves as a vitamin B3 (niacin) source. NRT also improves oxidative metabolism and protects against metabolic abnormalities induced by a high-fat diet. Furthermore, NRT mitigates cognitive decline in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
Nicotinamide riboside malate is an orally active NAD+ precursor that elevates NAD+ levels and stimulates the activity of SIRT1 and SIRT3. Functioning as a vitamin B3 (niacin) source, it augments oxidative metabolism and provides protection against metabolic abnormalities induced by a high-fat diet. Additionally, Nicotinamide riboside malate mitigates cognitive decline in a genetically modified mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
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.
