| Bioactivity | β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (β-NM) is a product of the nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) reaction and a key NAD+ intermediate. The pharmacological activities of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide include its role in cellular biochemical functions, cardioprotection, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and complications associated with obesity[1]. |
| Invitro | β-nicotinamide mononucleotide has several beneficial pharmacological activities. Mostly mediated by its involvement in NAD+ biosynthesis, the pharmacological activities of NMN include its role in cellular biochemical functions, cardioprotection, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and complications associated with obesity[1].The intracellular NAD+ levels are significantly decreased by knockdown or knockout of Nampt (Nampt KD or Nampt KO) or treatment with Nampt inhibitor FK866, whereas NAD+ levels are dramatically increased by supplement of NAD+ precursors NAM or NMN (0.5-1 mM). NAD+ precursor NMN treatment inhibited CD8+ T cells activation and function[2]. |
