5-methylnicotinamide

The result of this biosynthesis is that the product is nicotinic acid mononucleotide rather than free nicotinic acid. Ingested nicotinic acid is converted to nicotinic acid mononucleotide which, in turn, is converted to nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide. Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide is then converted to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. If excess nicotinic acid is ingested, it is metabolized into a series of detoxification products (Fig. 4). Physiological metabohtes include /V-methylnicotinamide (19) and A/-methyl-6-pyridone-2-carboxamide (24) (1). 

Methylation of nicotine to the pyridinium iodide with methyl iodide, followed by its conversion to the hydroxide with silver oxide in water, oxidation with potassium permanganate to the A -methyl nicotinic acid hydroxide and subsequent deprotonation with silver oxide yielded Trigollenine as colorless needles (1897CB2117). In a later publication, the formation of nicotinic acid from nicotine was described. Esterification followed by aminolysis and methylation yielded the A -methylnicotinamide... 

The biosynthesis and metabolism of nicotinic acid in disease has received little attention metabolic studies deal mainly with normal animals and man (01, R5). After a tryptophan load dose, the main catabolites in the urine are nicotinuric acid, N1-methylnicotinamide, nicotinamide, quinolinic acid, kynurenine, 6-pyridone, anthranilic acid, and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid. These excretory products were estimated...

Intramolecular Heck-type reaction of 2-bromo-A -(I//-indol-l-yl)-A -methylnicotinamide 241 yielded tetracyclic 6-methylpyrido[3, 2 4,5]-pyridazino[I,6- ]indol-5(6//)-one 242 in 92% yield (Equation 57) <1995TI94I>. 

Already in 1946, Knox (46JBC699) presented evidence for the ability of a crude preparation of rabbit liver aldehyde oxidase to catalyze oxidation of diverse quaternary aromatic heterocyclic compounds. Later, it was demonstrated that mammalian liver contains an enzyme system that can oxidize N-methylnicotinamide 230 to both the pyridones 231 and 232 (64JBC2027 66BBA556 67JBC1271 67JBC1274).

Epidemiological studies suggest that niacin may be implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson s disease via the following process. NAD produced from niacin releases nicotinamide via poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation which is activated in Parkinson s disease. Released excess nicotinamide is methylated to 1-methylnicotinamide (MNA) in the cytoplasm by nicotinamide N-methyltransferase. MNA destroys several subunits of complex I via superoxide formation. This can destroy complex I subunits either directly or indirectly via mitochondrial DNA damage, and stimulates poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. It has been proposed that this implicates nicotinamide as a potential causal agent in the development of Parkinson s disease (Fukushima et al., 2004). 

Disposition in the Body. It is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug, nicotinic acid, V-methylnicotinamide, and nicotinuric acid. 

Disposition in the Body. Readily absorbed after oral administration. Metabolised to A -methylnicotinamide, A-methyl-6-oxo-pyridine-3-carboxamide, iV-methyl-4-oxopyridine-3-carbox-amide, and by glycine conjugation to nicotinuric acid. It is rapidly excreted in the urine, and after administration of therapeutic doses about 34% is excreted unchanged in 6 hours. Nicotinic acid is a metabolite of nicergoline, nicotinamide, and nicotinyl tartrate.
