Microbial Metabolite Human Endogenous Metabolite
The primary target of N-Methylnicotinamide is the enzyme Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). NNMT is a metabolic enzyme involved in controlling methylation potential, impacting DNA and histone epigenetic modification. NMN itself acts as a metabolite with biological activities on endothelial cells. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
N-Methylnicotinamide exhibits antithrombotic effects via production and release of prostacyclin, which inhibits arterial thrombosis development. It has multiple effects on endothelial cells: it inhibits thrombus formation, increases skin vascular permeability, and prevents atherosclerosis in rodent models. NMN has been shown to protect against endothelial dysfunction and attenuate atherogenesis in animal models.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, N-Methylnicotinamide has been shown to prevent atherosclerosis in rodent models. It protects against endothelial dysfunction and attenuates atherogenesis. The compound's antithrombotic effect is mediated through prostacyclin production and release. NMN is an endogenous metabolite that is involved in nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism pathway.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for NNMT involve incubating the enzyme with N-methylnicotinamide and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as methyl donor in Tris-HCl buffer at pH 7.4. The reaction product, S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), is quantified by HPLC or LC-MS/MS. Enzyme activity is measured by monitoring the methylation of nicotinamide to N-methylnicotinamide. Kinetic parameters are determined by varying substrate concentrations.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell assays, endothelial cells are cultured in medium supplemented with N-Methylnicotinamide at concentrations of 0.1-10 mM. Cell viability is assessed by MTT assay. Anti-thrombotic effects are evaluated by measuring prostacyclin production using ELISA. Endothelial function is assessed by measuring nitric oxide production and vasorelaxation responses. Anti-inflammatory effects are evaluated by measuring cytokine levels.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies, N-Methylnicotinamide is administered to rodents via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection at doses of 10-100 mg/kg. Blood and tissue samples are collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. Anti-atherosclerotic effects are evaluated in atherosclerosis models by measuring plaque formation. Thrombus formation is assessed in arterial thrombosis models. Plasma NMN levels are quantified by LC-MS/MS.

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
N-methylnicotinamide is excreted in urine. N-Methylnicotinamide (MW 136.15) is soluble in DMF (15 mg/ml), DMSO (15 mg/ml), Ethanol (2.5 mg/ml), and PBS pH 7.2 (10 mg/ml). The compound is stable under standard storage conditions. As an endogenous metabolite, it is absorbed and metabolized through nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism pathways. It is an investigational drug with no approved indications. |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The compound is for research use only. No specific toxicity data are available. As an endogenous metabolite, it is expected to have low toxicity at physiological concentrations. The compound's effects on endothelial function and thrombosis suggest potential cardiovascular effects at higher doses. Standard safety precautions should be followed.

| Additional Infomation |
N-Methylnicotinamide is a pyridine carboxamide, a compound in which one amide hydrogen atom in the nicotinamide molecule is replaced by a methyl group. It is a metabolite functionally related to nicotinamide. N-Methylnicotinamide is an investigational drug with no approved indications or marketed formulations. It is a metabolite of nicotinamide/nicotinamide and nicotinic acid/nicotinic acid (vitamin B3), therefore, detecting N-methylnicotinamide levels in urine can be used to diagnose niacin deficiency.
Drug Indications N-Methylnicotinamide is an investigational drug with no approved indications. N-Methylnicotinamide (CAS# 114-33-0) is an endogenous metabolite and investigational compound used primarily in studies of cardiovascular disease, endothelial function, and methylation metabolism. It has not been approved for any therapeutic indication. The compound is of interest in the context of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. It is used as a research tool to study NNMT function and nicotinamide metabolism. |

*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.
