Nicotinamide, also known as Niacinamide, is a form of vitamin B3. It functions as an inhibitor of SIRT1 and SIRT2, increasing cellular NAD+, ATP, and ROS levels. It is involved in various biological processes, including tumor growth inhibition and anti-HBV activity.
- SIRT2 inhibitor (IC50: 2 μM)
- SIRT1 inhibitor (IC50: 50-180 μM)
- Increases cellular NAD+, ATP, and ROS levels
- Inhibits tumor growth
- Possesses anti-HBV activity
- Promotes pancreatic cell differentiation
- Reduces cell number in melanoma cells
