Nicotinamide

Inquiry
Catalog Number PR98920
CAS 98-92-0
Structure
Description An important compound functioning as a component of the coenzyme NAD. Its primary significance is in the prevention and/or cure of blacktongue and pellagra. Most animals cannot manufacture this compound in amounts sufficient to prevent nutritional deficiency and it therefore must be supplemented through dietary intake.

Pharmacology

Mechanism of Action

Nicotinamide is known to influence various biological processes through its interaction with multiple enzymes and pathways. It acts on ADP-ribosyl cyclase/cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase, which is significant in human cellular mechanisms. Additionally, nicotinamide has a binding relationship with Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1, another critical enzyme in human biological functions. While the complete spectrum of its role in NAD-dependent protein deacylase sirtuin-5 and L-lactate dehydrogenase A chain in humans is still under investigation, its interaction with exotoxin A, a product of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, further exemplifies its diverse mechanism of action.
