Nicotinic Acid Metabolism

چکیده
Previous reports from this laboratory have described the isolation of 6-hydroxynicotinic acid and 6-0x0-1 ,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinic acid from the reaction media of a clostridial species grown on nicotinic acid (1). Bn enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidation of nicotinic acid to HNA’ has been purified from extracts of this microorganism (2). Since fortified crude extract of this Clostridium can metabolize HNA as well as nicotinic acid (l), this degradation was studied to define further the fermentation of nicotinic acid in this microorganism and the role of 6-0x0-1 ,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinic acid. This paper reports the partial purification of an enzyme which catalyzes the reversible reduction of HNA to the 4-5-dihydroderivative, 6-0x0-1,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinic acid. This enzyme requires reduced ferredoxin or reduced methyl viologen dye as the electron donor for the reduction of HNA.

Niacin: Nicotinic Acid, Nicotinamide, and Inositol Hexanicotinate Introduction Niacin is the vitamin B3 and has fundamental roles as part of reduction/oxidation coenzymes involved in energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and detoxification reactions for drugs and other substances. Niacin comes from in several forms: (1) nicotinic acid (pyridine-3carboxylic acid) (Burgeois et al. 2006), (...
متن کاملMetabolism of nicotinamide and nicotinic acid in Neurospora crassa.
Nicotinic acid is outstanding among the B vitamins in that its metabolic fate has been very extensively investigated. These studies, however, have been carried out mostly in higher animals, and they have revealed that (i) N'-methylnicotinamide is, in general, the major end-product of the metabolism of both nicotinic acid and nicotinamide; (ii) nicotinuric acid, the glycine conjugate of nicotini...
متن کاملUse of nicotinic acid in patients with elevated fasting glucose, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome
This paper will focus on the use of nicotinic acid as a therapeutic option for cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with abnormal glucose metabolism and ‘atherogenic dyslipidaemia’. This is characterised by low levels of HDL-C, high triglycerides, and preponderance of small, dense LDL particles. Whilst nicotinic acid may increase plasma glucose in some patients, more recent studies show th...
متن کاملMetabolism and Degradation of Nicotinic Acid in Parsley (Petroselinum hortense) Cell Suspension Cultures and Seedlings
Application o f [6 14C]or [7-14C]nicotinic acid to parsley cell suspension cultures led to the accumulation of labelled nicotinamide m ononucleotide, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, nicotinamide N-riboside, nicotinamide and nicotinic acid, indicating the operation of the pyridine nucleotide cycle in these cells. A s main conjugates, nicotinic acid N-glucoside and nicotinic acid glucose ester...
متن کاملStudies on the metabolism of nicotinic acid in rabbits.
Several compounds have been described as metabolites of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide in mammals. These are nicotinic acid (I), nicotinamide (2)) nicotinuric acid (2)) trigonelline (2)) W-methylnicotinamide (NMN) (3-6)) and 1-methyl-3-carboxylamide-6-pyridone (7, 8). According to the observations of various workers mammals may be divided into two groups in so far as the metabolism of nicotini...
متن کاملThe metabolism of high intakes of tryptophan, nicotinamide and nicotinic acid in the rat.
1. The metabolic fate of high dietary intakes of nicotinamide, nicotinic acid and tryptophan, and of acute doses of nicotinamide and nicotinic acid, has been studied in the rat. A new high-pressure liquid chromatography method for measurement of the principal urinary metabolites of niacin is described. 2. Administration to rats of a single oral dose of nicotinamide or nicotinic acid (up to 100 ...
