Nicotinamide

• Background:

  Essential nutrient (amide form of Vitamin B3) that is incorporated into cofactors NADH/NAD+, important for ATP production and other key metabolic functions.1 Transiently inhibits SIRT1/SIRT3 through feedback inhibition (IC50 ~ 50 µM) 2, but is quickly converted to NAD+ in cells3. Also inhibits certain kinases (e.g. ROCK and CK1), making it a regulator of hPSC pluripotency, survival, and differentiation.4 Inhibits differentiation and enhances functionality of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) .5
