Product Description
6-Methylnicotinamide is an analogue of nicotinamide and an endogenously produced metabolite. During the acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), sudden increases in 6-Methylnicotinamide can exacerbate neurological damage.
6-Methylnicotinamide (CAS 6960-22-1) is a pyridinecarboxamide belonging to the nicotinamide class of organic compounds, characterized by a pyridine ring substituted at the 3-position with a carboxamide group and an additional methyl group at the 6-position. It has a molecular weight of 136.15 g/mol and formula C7H8N2O. The compound is a derivative of nicotinamide and is an endogenous metabolite.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
6-Methylnicotinamide is an endogenous metabolite that does not have a well-defined specific therapeutic target. As a derivative of nicotinamide, it may be involved in NAD+ metabolism and cellular energy pathways. Nicotinamide derivatives are known to interact with various enzymes involved in NAD+ biosynthesis and metabolism. The compound's methyl group at the 6-position of the pyridine ring may influence its interactions with biological targets.
ln Vitro
6-Methylnicotinamide is an endogenous metabolite. As a derivative of nicotinamide, it may be involved in NAD+ metabolism and cellular energy pathways. The compound has been studied for its effects on perovskite solar cells, where it enhances efficiency to 24.33% with excellent environmental stability. Its sudden increase in the acute stages of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) exacerbates the condition, suggesting a role in disease pathology.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 6-methylnicotinamide is an endogenous metabolite whose sudden increase in the acute stages of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) exacerbates the condition. This suggests that the compound may play a role in the pathophysiology of ICH. The compound is not used as a therapeutic agent but is studied for its role in metabolism and disease. Specific in vivo efficacy studies for therapeutic applications are not applicable.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for 6-methylnicotinamide are not extensively documented. As a nicotinamide derivative, the compound may be studied for its interactions with enzymes involved in NAD+ metabolism, such as nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) or nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). Standard assays involve incubating the compound with recombinant enzymes and measuring activity using spectrophotometric or fluorometric methods. The compound is dissolved in DMSO or water and diluted in assay buffer.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for 6-methylnicotinamide typically involve treating cells with the compound at concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 μM for 24-72 hours. Cellular NAD+ levels are measured using enzymatic cycling assays or LC-MS. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or other standard assays. The compound is dissolved in DMSO or water as a stock solution and diluted in cell culture medium. The compound's effects on cellular metabolism and energy pathways are assessed.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 6-methylnicotinamide are not typically performed for therapeutic purposes, as the compound is an endogenous metabolite rather than a therapeutic agent. The compound may be studied in animal models of intracerebral hemorrhage to understand its role in disease pathology. Blood and tissue samples are collected for metabolic analysis. The compound is not intended for human therapeutic use.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
6-Methylnicotinamide has a molecular weight of 136.15 g/mol and formula C7H8N2O. It is a white solid. The compound is soluble in water and organic solvents. It is an endogenous metabolite. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, AUC, and bioavailability would require experimental determination. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
6-Methylnicotinamide is intended for research use only and is not approved for human therapeutic applications. As an endogenous metabolite, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. Appropriate safety precautions should be taken when handling, including wearing gloves and protective eyewear. Standard toxicity assessments would include acute toxicity and repeated-dose toxicity studies if required for specific applications. The compound is not intended for human consumption.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
