1-Methylnicotinamide (1-MNA, trigonellamide) is a prototypic organic cation. [ 1 ] 1-Methylnicotinamide is the methylated amide of Nicotinamide (niacinamide, vitamin B 3 ). 1-Methylnicotinamide is an endogenic substance that is produced in the liver when Nicotinamide is metabolized.

Independently of clinical symptoms, blood level of tryptophan or urinary metabolites such as 2-pyridone/N-methylnicotinamide ratio <2 or NAD/NADP ratio in red blood cells can diagnose pellagra. The diagnosis is confirmed by rapid improvements in symptoms after doses of nicotinamide (250–500 mg/day) or nicotinamide enriched food.
Nicotinamide (INN, BAN UK [2]) or niacinamide (USAN US) is a form of vitamin B 3 found in food and used as a dietary supplement and medication. [3] [4] [5] As a supplement, it is used orally (swallowed by mouth) to prevent and treat pellagra (niacin deficiency). [4]
In enzymology, a nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) (EC 2.1.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction S-adenosyl-L-methionine + nicotinamide ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 1-methylnicotinamide.
Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NNMT gene. [5] NNMT catalyzes the methylation of nicotinamide and similar compounds using the methyl donor S-adenosyl methionine (SAM-e) to produce S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) and 1-methylnicotinamide .
NMNH (Dihydronicotinamide mononucleotide), also known as reduced nicotinamide mononucleotide. [1] Both NMNH and NMN increase NAD+ levels in the body. [1] NAD+ is a universal coenzyme that plays vital roles in nearly all living organisms functioning in various biological processes such as metabolism, cell signaling, gene regulation, and DNA repair.
