- Application
- Inhibition (Inh)
- Purpose
- SIRT1 inhibitor, essential nutrient
- Characteristics
- Essential nutrient (amide form of Vitamin B3) that is incorporated into cofactors NADH/NAD+, important for ATP production and other key metabolic functions. Transiently inhibits SIRT1/SIRT3 through feedback inhibition (IC50 ~ 50 μM), but is quickly converted to NAD+ in cells. Also inhibits certain kinases (e.g. ROCK and CK1), making it a regulator of hPSC pluripotency, survival, and differentiation. Inhibits differentiation and enhances functionality of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs).
