Nicotinamide – biologic actions of an emerging cosmetic ingredient

Abstract: Nicotinamide, the water-soluble amide of nicotinic acid, is a component of the two most important coenzymes - nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. Thus nicotinamide is involved in numerous oxidation-reduction reactions in mammalian biological systems. Nicotinamide essentially acts as an antioxidant. Most effects are exerted via poly-adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibition. Thus nicotinamide increasingly gains interest in the prevention and treatment of s… Show more

“…ceramide 3), vitamin B 3 which is known to increase skin lipid production (9), and the prebiotic a-glucan oligosaccharide as key elements. In addition, NTP-CE incorporates a lipid lamellar technology which is characterized by a structure similar to the naturally occurring intercellular lipids in the epidermis.…”

“…It is known from literature that topical application of fibronectin, a peptide component of the extract [39,40] and NADPH [41,42] is beneficial for wound healing. Recently presence of other peptides in the extract that are potentially active for wound healing has also been confirmed (D. De, unpublished results).…”
