What it is Filled
N-ribosylnicotinamide, commonly called nicotinamide riboside, is a pyridinium nucleoside formed by attaching ribose to the ring nitrogen of nicotinamide, whose β-D form is a precursor in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthesis.
In scope
- Molecular connectivity, ribose stereochemistry and pyridinium charge
- Identity mappings that distinguish the molecular species from its salts
- Sample composition, assay basis, impurities and analytical identity
- Physical state and stability under recorded conditions
- Evidence supporting biochemical use, handling and jurisdiction-specific eligibility
Out of scope
- Finished supplements, medicines and their formulation specifications
- Manufacturing processes and production equipment
- Complete NAD metabolism pathways
- Clinical treatment protocols and individual dosing decisions
- Independent models of counterions and related nicotinamide compounds
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to identify N-ribosylnicotinamide, assess the identity and condition of a material containing it, and determine which handling or research uses are supported by evidence.
Distinguishing features Filled
- The reference identity has a β-D-ribofuranosyl group attached to nicotinamide's ring nitrogen at position 1; attachment and stereochemistry are identity tests. [ChEBI](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/CHEBI%3A15927)
- Confirm covalent ribosyl attachment rather than identifying a mixture of nicotinamide and ribose as this substance.
- Check for an unphosphorylated ribosyl moiety when distinguishing the target from nicotinamide mononucleotide.
- Confirm the pyridinium oxidation state when distinguishing the target from reduced nicotinamide riboside.
- Separate identification of the molecular cation from identification of a complete salt, including its counterion and stoichiometry.
