Abstract: As catabolites of nicotinamide possess physiological relevance, pyridones are often in- cluded in metabolomics measurements and associated with pathological outcomes in acute kidney injury (AKI). Pyridones are oxidation products of nicotinamide, its methylated form, and its ribosy- lated form. While they are viewed as markers of over-oxidation, they are often wrongly reported or mislabeled. To address this, we provide a comprehensive characterization of these catabolites of vitamin B3, justify their nomenclature, and differentiate between the biochemical pathways that lead to their generation. Furthermore, we identify an enzymatic and a chemical process that accounts for the formation of the ribosylated form of these pyridones, known to be cytotoxic. Finally, we Citation: Hayat, F.; Sonavane, M.; demonstrate that the ribosylated form of one of the pyridones, the 4-pyridone-3-carboxamide riboside Makarov, M.V.; Trammell, S.A.J.; (4PYR), causes HepG3 cells to die by autophagy; a process that occurs at concentrations that are McPherson, P.; Gassman, N.R.; Migaud, M.E.

Seals1 + 1234567890():,; Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD ) has emerged as a critical co-substrate for enzymes involved in the beneficial effects of regular calorie restriction on healthspan. As such, the use of NAD+ precursors to augment NAD+ bioavailability has been proposed as a strategy for improving cardiovascular and other physiological functions with aging in humans. Here we provide the evidence in a 2 × 6-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial that chronic supplementation with the NAD+ precursor vitamin, nicotinamide riboside (NR), is well tolerated and effectively stimulates NAD+ metabolism in healthy middle-aged and older adults. Our results also provide initial insight into the effects of chronic NR supplementation on physiological function in humans, and suggest that, in par- ticular, future clinical trials should further assess the potential benefits of NR for reducing blood pressure and arterial stiffness in this group. 1 Department of Integrative Physiology, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA. 2 Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Denver, CO, USA.

ABSTRACT Mammalian sirtuins (SIRT1-SIRT7) are a family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent protein deacylases that play critical roles in lifespan and age-related diseases. The physiological importance of sirtuins has stimulated intense interest in designing sirtuin- activating compounds. However, except for allosteric activators of SIRT1-catalyzed reactions that are limited to particular substrates, a general framework for the design of sirtuin-activating compounds has been lacking. Recently, we introduced a general mode of sirtuin activation that is distinct from the known modes of enzyme activation, establishing biophysical properties of small molecule modulators that can, in principle, result in enzyme activation for various sirtuins and substrates.

Here we determine the time and dose-dependent effects of NR on blood NAD þ metabolism in humans. We report that human blood NAD þ can rise as much as 2.7-fold with a single oral dose of NR in a pilot study of one individual, and that oral NR elevates mouse hepatic NAD þ with distinct and superior pharmacokinetics to those of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide. We further show that single doses of 100, 300 and 1,000 mg of NR produce dose-dependent increases in the blood NAD þ metabolome in the first clinical trial of NR pharmacokinetics in humans. We also report that nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide (NAAD), which was not thought to be en route for the conversion of NR to NAD þ, is formed from NR and discover that the rise in NAAD is a highly sensitive biomarker of effective NAD þ repletion. 1 Department of Biochemistry, Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242, USA. 2 John King Laboratory, School of Pharmacy, Queens University Belfast, Belfast BT7 1NN, UK. 3 ChromaDex, Inc., 10005 Muirlands Blvd, Suite G, Irvine, California 92618, USA.

  • Anti-Aging Effects of Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) Supplementation Saad Alsogair* Elite Derma Care Clinic, Khobar, Saudi Arabia
    OPEN ACCESS Freely available online Journal of Clinical & Experimental Dermatology Research Review article Anti-Aging Effects of Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) Supplementation Saad AlSogair* Elite Derma Care Clinic, Khobar, Saudi Arabia ABSTRACT Sirtuins show promise in prolonging lifespan, as shown by previous animal and human studies. They play a role in cellular responses against oxidative stress and in cellular metabolism while also maintaining the length of telomeres. To make sirtuins work, cells need NAD+. The bioavailability of NAD+ inside the cells decreases in normal aging and may add to physiological aging by decreasing the action of sirtuins. The NAD+ metabolites nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide riboside (NR), which are forms of vitamin B3, can increase NAD+ levels and improves different physiological capacities in animal studies. Among these two metabolites, nicotinamide riboside (NR) is more available in food and has better cell permeability, since it does not require any transformation to different intermediates. NR is also proven to be safe by studies, while NMN is yet to demonstrate safety in human consumption. This article aims to discuss the anti-aging effects of nicotinamide riboside (NR), as well as its other health benefits. Overall, previous studies have shown that NR can increase mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative metabolism, as well as prevent metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative disorders and age-related physiological decline. It effects on mitochondrial metabolism suggests that it could have significant applications in the treatment of age- related diseases.

Current therapeutic options for DMD are limited, as small molecule modalities remain largely unable to decrease the incidence or mitigate the consequences of repetitive mechanical insults to the muscle during eccentric contractions (ECCs). Methods Using a metabolomics approach, we observed distinct and transient molecular phenotypes in muscles of dystrophin-decient MDX mice subjected to ECCs. Among the most chronically depleted metabolites was nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), an essential metabolic cofactor suggested to protect muscle from structural and metabolic degeneration over time.

Recent increases in public awareness on possible pro-longevity effects of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) precursors have caused further growth of NAM consumption not only for clinical treatments, but also as a dietary supplement, raising concerns on the safety of its long-term use. However, possible adverse effects and their mechanisms are poorly understood. High-level NAM administration can exert negative effects through multiple routes. For example, NAM by itself inhibits poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), which protect genome integrity. Elevation of the NAD+ pool alters cellular energy metabolism. Meanwhile, high-level NAM alters cellular methyl metabolism and affects methylation of DNA and proteins, leading to changes in cellular transcriptome and proteome. Also, methyl metabolites of NAM, namely methylnicotinamide, are predicted to play roles in certain diseases and conditions. In this review, a collective literature search was performed to provide a comprehensive list of possible adverse effects of NAM and to provide understanding of their underlying mechanisms and assessment of the raised safety concerns.

Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (2016) 13:32 DOI 10.1186/s12970-016-0143-x SHORT REPORT Open Access The NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside decreases exercise performance in rats Ioannis A. Kourtzidis1†, Andreas T. Stoupas1†, Ioannis S. Gioris1†, Aristidis S. Veskoukis1, Nikos V. Margaritelis1,2, Maria Tsantarliotou3, Ioannis Taitzoglou3, Ioannis S. Vrabas1, Vassilis Paschalis4,5, Antonios Kyparos1 and Michalis G. Nikolaidis1* Abstract Background: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its phosphorylated form (NADP+) are key molecules in ubiquitous bioenergetic and cellular signaling pathways, regulating cellular metabolism and homeostasis. Thus, supplementation with NAD+ and NADP+ precursors emerged as a promising strategy to gain many and multifaceted health benefits. In this proof-of-concept study, we sought to investigate whether chronic nicotinamide riboside administration (an NAD+ precursor) affects exercise performance. Methods: Eighteen Wistar rats were equally divided in two groups that received either saline vehicle or nicotinamide riboside at a dose of 300 mg/kg body weight/day for 21 days via gavage. At the end of the 21-day administration protocol, both groups performed an incremental swimming performance test. Results: The nicotinamide riboside group showed a tendency towards worse physical performance by 35 % compared to the control group at the final 10 % load (94 ± 53 s for the nicotinamide riboside group and 145 ± 59 s for the control group; P =0.071). Conclusion: Our results do not confirm the previously reported ergogenic effect of nicotinamide riboside. The potentially negative effect of nicotinamide riboside administration on physical performance may be attributed to the pleiotropic metabolic and redox properties of NAD+ and NADP+.

  • The Multi-Faceted Ecto-Enzyme CD38: Roles in Immunomodulation, Cancer, Aging, and Metabolic Diseases
    REVIEW published: 31 May 2019 doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2019.01187 The Multi-faceted Ecto-enzyme CD38: Roles in Immunomodulation, Cancer, Aging, and Metabolic Diseases Kelly A. Hogan, Claudia C. S. Chini and Eduardo N. Chini* Signal Transduction and Molecular Nutrition Laboratory, Kogod Center on Aging, Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, MN, United States CD38 (Cluster of Differentiation 38) is a multifunctional ecto-enzyme that metabolizes NAD+ and mediates nicotinamide dinucleotide (NAD+) and extracellular nucleotide homeostasis as well as intracellular calcium. CD38 is also an emerging therapeutic target under conditions in which metabolism is altered including infection, aging, and tumorigenesis. We describe multiple enzymatic activities of CD38, which may explain the breadth of biological roles observed for this enzyme. Of greatest significance is the role of CD38 as an ecto-enzyme capable of modulating extracellular NAD+ precursor availability: 1 to bacteria unable to perform de novo synthesis of NAD+; and 2 in aged parenchyma Edited by: Silvia Deaglio, impacted by the accumulation of immune cells during the process of ‘inflammaging’. University of Turin, Italy We also discuss the paradoxical role of CD38 as a modulator of intracellular NAD+, Reviewed by: particularly in tumor immunity. Finally, we provide a summary of therapeutic approaches Antje Garten, to CD38 inhibition and ‘NAD+ boosting’ for treatment of metabolic dysfunction observed Leipzig University, Germany Yasser Mohamed El-Sherbiny, during aging and in tumor immunity. The present review summarizes the role of CD38 in Nottingham Trent University, nicotinamide nucleotide homeostasis with special emphasis on the role of CD38 as an United Kingdom immunomodulator and druggable target.
