1-Methylnicotinamide (trigonellamide) is a prototypic organic cation. [1] 1-Methylnicotinamide is the methylated amide of Nicotinamide (niacinamide, vitamin B3).

Contents

1-Methylnicotinamide is an endogenic substance that is produced in the liver when Nicotinamide is metabolized. It is a typical substance secreted in the kidney.

Occurrence

The highest natural concentration of 1-methylnicotinamide found so far is in the alga Undaria pinnatifida . [2] 1-Methylnicotinamide is also present in the Judas' ear fungus and in green tea. [2]

Extraction and production

1-Methylnicotinamide can be produced in the liver by nicotinamide N-methyltransferase. The reaction takes place during the metabolism of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).

NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NNMT gene. [3] NNMT catalyzes the methylation of nicotinamide and similar compounds using the methyl donor S-adenosyl methionine (SAM-e) to produce S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) and 1-methylnicotinamide. [4] NNMT is highly expressed in the human liver. [4]

Use

For a long time, 1-methylnicotinamide was considered a biologically inactive metabolite of nicotinamide. However, various studies show antithrombotic, [5] anti-inflammatory, [6] gastroprotective [7] and vasoprotective [7] properties.

1-Methylnicotinamide is an endogenous activator of prostacyclin synthesis and can therefore regulate thrombolytic[ check spelling ] and inflammatory processes in the cardiovascular system. [8] It inhibits platelet-dependent thrombosis through a mechanism involving [9] cyclooxygenase-2 and prostacyclin and increases nitric oxide bioavailability in the endothelium. [7] [4]

Animal experiments with diabetic rats have shown that 1-methylnicotinamide has a positive effect on degenerative changes in the brain and cognitive performance can be thus longer maintained. [10]

Experiments with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans showed that the addition of 1-methylnicotinamide can extend their lifespan. This may possibly be attributed to increased free radical binding and the resulting reduced oxidative stress. [11]

1-Methylnicotinamide is used in cosmetic products such as hair- and skincare products and as a dietary supplement. [12]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nicotinamide</span> Dietary supplement and medication

Niacinamide or nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3 found in food and used as a dietary supplement and medication. As a supplement, it is used by mouth to prevent and treat pellagra (niacin deficiency). While nicotinic acid (niacin) may be used for this purpose, niacinamide has the benefit of not causing skin flushing. As a cream, it is used to treat acne, and has been observed in clinical studies to improve the appearance of aging skin by reducing hyperpigmentation and redness. It is a water-soluble vitamin. Niacinamide is the supplement name, while nicotinamide is the scientific name.

Cyclooxygenase (COX), officially known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), is an enzyme that is responsible for biosynthesis of prostanoids, including thromboxane and prostaglandins such as prostacyclin, from arachidonic acid. A member of the animal-type heme peroxidase family, it is also known as prostaglandin G/H synthase. The specific reaction catalyzed is the conversion from arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2 via a short-living prostaglandin G2 intermediate.

12-Hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (also termed 12-HHT, 12(S)-hydroxyheptadeca-5Z,8E,10E-trienoic acid, or 12(S)-HHTrE) is a 17 carbon metabolite of the 20 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid, arachidonic acid. It was discovered and structurally defined in 1973 by P. Wlodawer, Bengt I. Samuelsson, and M. Hamberg, as a product of arachidonic acid metabolism made by microsomes (i.e. endoplasmic reticulum) isolated from sheep seminal vesicle glands and by intact human platelets. 12-HHT is less ambiguously termed 12-(S)-hydroxy-5Z,8E,10E-heptadecatrienoic acid to indicate the S stereoisomerism of its 12-hydroxyl residue and the Z, E, and E cis-trans isomerism of its three double bonds. The metabolite was for many years thought to be merely a biologically inactive byproduct of prostaglandin synthesis. More recent studies, however, have attached potentially important activity to it.
