Nicotinamide riboside chloride(CAS# 23111-00-4)
Introduction
Nicotinamide ribose chloride is an organic compound. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and methanol.
Nicotinamide riboside chloride is an important biological and medical research tool. It is a precursor compound of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). These compounds play a key role in cells, including involvement in energy metabolism, DNA repair, signaling, and more. Nicotinamide riboside chloride can be used to study these biological processes and participate as a coenzyme in certain enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
The method of preparing nicotinamide ribose chloride is generally to react nicotinamide ribose (Niacinamide ribose) with acyl chloride under alkaline conditions.
Safety Information: Nicotinamide riboside chloride is relatively safe with proper use and storage. But as a chemical, it can cause harm to the human body. Protective equipment such as laboratory gloves and glasses should be worn when in use. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and avoid inhaling dust.
