Nicotinamide riboside (NR, SR647) is a pyridine-nucleoside and a form of vitamin B3, functioning as a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD+.[1]
Chemistry[edit]
While the molecular weight of nicotinamide riboside is 255.25 g/mol,[2] that of its chloride salt is 290.70 g/mol.[3][4] As such, 100 mg of nicotinamide riboside chloride provides 88 mg of nicotinamide riboside. Recently, the crystal structure of a new series of crystalline forms of other nicotinamide riboside salts has been discovered. These salts correspond to different enantiomers of hydrogen tartrate and hydrogen malate and have a molecular weight of 404.33 and 388.33 g/mol respectively.[5]
History[edit]
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) was first described in 1944 as a growth factor, termed Factor V, for Haemophilus influenza, a bacterium that lives in and depends on blood. Factor V, purified from blood, was shown to exist in three forms: NAD+, NMN and NR. NR was the compound that led to the most rapid growth of this bacterium.[6] H. influenza cannot grow on nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, tryptophan or aspartic acid, which were the previously known precursors of NAD+.[7]
In 2000, yeast Sir2 was shown to be an NAD+-dependent protein lysine deacetylase,[8] which led several research groups to probe yeast NAD+ metabolism for genes and enzymes that might regulate lifespan.[9]
Synthesis[edit]
Different biosynthetic pathways are responsible for converting the different B3 vitamins into NAD+. The enzyme nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the two-step pathway converting nicotinamide to NAD+.[10] NR kinase enzymes can also function as a salvage pathway for NAD+, but this pathway is not essential.[10]
Commercialization[edit]
ChromaDex licensed patents in July 2012, and began to develop a process to bring NR to market as TruNiagen.[11] ChromaDex claims copyright, and since 2016 has been in a patent dispute with Elysium Health over the rights to nicotinamide riboside supplements.[12]
Biosynth Carbosynth licensed a patent to produce new NR salts WO 2021013795. The new carboxylic acid salts in crystalline form can be used in nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical compositions.
