NCIt definition : An orally available form of vitamin B3 and precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
(NAD ) with potential use in the treatment of chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy
(CIPN). Upon oral administration, nicotinamide riboside (NR) is converted to nicotinamide
mononucleotide by the NR kinases, nicotinamide riboside kinase 1 (NRK 1) and nicotinamide
riboside kinase 2 (NRK 2), to which a second adenine is transferred by nicotinamide
mononucleotide adenylyl transferase to generate NAD . NAD , an essential redox coenzyme,
may offer protective effects against axonal injury from both mechanical and neurotoxic
injury, and maintenance of NAD may be protective in mitochondrial disease. NR may
help elevate and maintain NAD levels, which may ameliorate potential mechanisms implicated
in the development of CIPN including mitochondrial dysfunction and peripheral nerve
degeneration.;
