niacin

Niacin (Nicotinic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin belonging to the vitamin B family, which occurs in many animal and plant tissues, with antihyperlipidemic activity. Niacin is converted to its active form niacinamide, which is a component of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and its phosphate form, NADP.

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.

Nicotinamide riboside increases NAD[+] levels and activates SIRT1 and SIRT3, culminating in enhanced oxidative metabolism and protection against high fat diet-induced metabolic abnormalities.

Nicotinamide riboside chloride, also known as NR and SRT647, is a pyridine-nucleoside form of vitamin B3 that functions as a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD+.

TRIA-662 (Nicotinamide Chloromethylate) is a niacin metabolite excreted via the urinary system.

L-Tryptophan (Tryptophane), an essential amino acid, is necessary for normal growth in infants and for nitrogen balance in adults. It is a precursor of SEROTONIN (hence its use as an antidepressant and sleep aid) and of INDOLE ALKALOIDS in plants. It can be a precursor to NIACIN, although inefficiently in mammals.

2-Amino-4-(2-aminophenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid (3-Anthraniloylalanine) is a ketone and amino acid derivative with diverse biological functions, including vasodilatory, immunoregulatory, and neuromodulatory activities. It is a precursor for niacin and its aberrant production is linked to neurological disease-related cognitive deficits and depressive symptoms. This compound is overexpressed in certain cancer cell types and could potentially serve as a biomarker to assess cancer risk.
