BiologicalActivity
| Description | Niacin (Vitamin B3; Nicotinic acid) hydrochloride is an orally active B3 vitamin that is an essential nutrient for humans. Niacin hydrochloride plays a key role in energy metabolism, cell signaling cascades regulating gene expression and apoptosis. Niacin hydrochloride is also used in the study of cardiovascular diseases[1][2]. |

| In Vitro | Niacin hydrochloride (0-900 μM, 42 hours) significantly increases GSH levels and decreases ROS levels, and affects the expression of genes related to apoptosis and lipid metabolism[1]. Niacin hydrochloride (0-40 μM, 24 hours) can inhibit cancer invasive activity at low dose but with no influence on proliferation[2]. RT-PCR[1] Cell Line: Cumulus cells and oocytes of prepubertal gilts Concentration: 600 μM Incubation Time: 42 hours Result: Up-regulated the relative expression of the anti-apoptotic gene BCL2 and lipid metabolism gene ACACA while down-regulated the pro-apoptotic gene BAX. Cell Proliferation Assay[2] Cell Line: Rat ascites hepatoma cell line of AH109A Concentration: 0-40 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Had no effect on the proliferation of AH109A cells but suppressed cell invasion from 2.5 μM to 40 μM. |

| In Vivo | Niacin hydrochloride (subcutaneous injection, 3-300 mg/kg, once) can induce vasodilation in a dose-dependent manner within minutes in male C57BL/6 mice[3]. Animal Model: Male C57BL/6 mice[3] Dosage: 3-300 mg/kg Administration: Subcutaneous injection; once Result: Induced vasodilation in a dose-dependent manner. |
