چکیده
Introduction Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a water-soluble amide of nicotinic acid. Niacinamide is one of two principal forms of the B-complex vitamin, B3. Niacin was first isolated from rice bran in 1911. Niacinamide, the amide of niacin, was later isolated in 1934 by Warburg and Christian when coenzyme II, NADP, was extracted from horse erythrocytes. While niacinamide and niacin have identical vitamin activities (i.e., they both prevent development of the vitamin B3-deficiency condition, pellagra), they have very different pharmacological activities.

Correlation of results between validated in-house analysis method with new pharmacopeia monograph for analysis of Sitagliptin Phosphate API
Having validated analysis methods for medicinal ingredients is attractive for pharmaceutical companies. When a new molecule is introduced to the market, there is not any pharmacopeial analysis method for that. After publishing official methods, correlation between validated in-house methods and the official one could stablish the value of the in-house method. Sitagliptin phosphate is a new anti...
متن کاملA Monograph of Verticillium Section Prostrata
Section Prostrata of the genus Verticillium was introduced by GAMS (1971) to separate verticillium-like anamorphs of the Clavicipitaceae from other species of the genus that were known or supposed to have affinities with other families of the Hypocreales. Other sections of Verticillium were subsequently described by GAMS & VAN ZAAYEN (1982). MESSNER et al. (1996) showed that the most important ...

متن کاملUltrastructural correlates of the protection afforded by niacinamide against sulfur mustard-induced cytotoxicity of human lymphocytes in vitro.
Sulfur mustard (HD) has been shown to cause a concentration-dependent decrease in viability of human lymphocytes in vitro as measured by dye exclusion; this decrease is preventable by inhibitors of poly(adenosine diphosphatase ribose) polymerase such as niacinamide. The present study investigates the morphologic correlates of the protection afforded by niacinamide through scanning and transmiss...
