1-Methylnicotinamide is an endogenic substance that is produced in the liver when Nicotinamide is metabolized. It is a typical substance secreted in the kidney. It participates in the nicotinamide salvage pathway within the NAD + (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) metabolic pathway, thereby contributing to optimizing NAD + levels. [2]
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. [7]
N1-Methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide (also known as 1-methyl-6-oxopyridine-3-carboxamide or nudifloramide and abbreviated as 2PY, 2-Py or NMPC) is one of a number of metabolic products of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) degradation.

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]
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 .
Other symptoms include agenesis of the corpus callosum, iron deficiency resulting from an absence of acid secretion in the stomach, achlorhydria. Achlorhydria in these patients results in an increase in blood gastrin levels. These symptoms typically manifest early in life (within the first year).
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.
