Metabolite Identification
Common NameNiacinamide
DescriptionNiacinamide, also known as nicotinamid or vitamin B3, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nicotinamides. These are heterocyclic aromatic compounds containing a pyridine ring substituted at position 3 by a carboxamide group. Niacinamide exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Niacinamide exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Niacinamide participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, S-Adenosylmethionine and niacinamide can be converted into S-adenosylhomocysteine and 1-methylnicotinamide through the action of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase. In addition, Niacinamide and ribose-1-arsenate can be converted into nicotinamide riboside and phosphoric acid through its interaction with the enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase. In cattle, niacinamide is involved in the metabolic pathway called the nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism pathway. Niacinamide is a potentially toxic compound.
