Bioactivity | Xanthinol Nicotinate (Xanthinol Niacinate), a vasodilator, can act directly on the smooth muscle of small arteries and capillaries. Xanthinol Nicotinate expands blood vessels, improves blood rheology and reduces peripheral vascular resistance[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Xanthinol Nicotinate (Xanthinol Niacinate; 2.76-276 µM; for 24 hours) inhibits HUASMC proliferation in a dose-dependent manner[2]. Xanthinol Nicotinate (2.76-276 µM; for 24 hours) dose-dependently decreases the PDGFR mRNA and PDGFR-β levels on the cell membranes of HUASMCs[2].

In Vivo | Xanthinol Nicotinate (Xanthinol Niacinate; 75 mg/kg; IP) rapidly and transiently modifies tumor pO2 and the maximal pO2 values are obtained 10 to 30 minutes after Xanthinol Nicotinate administration[1]. Xanthinol Nicotinate is able to radiosensitize the tumors when applying 10 Gy of X-Rays during the reoxygenation of the tumors (enhancement in radiation response of 1.4)[1].
