Description

• General description: Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards
• Application: These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.
• Biochem/physiol Actions: 1-Methylnicotinamide (MNA) is a primary metabolite of nicotinamide produced mainly by nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). 1-Methylnicotinamide (MNA) has been shown to have antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory effects. A recent study indicated that MNA may exert antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory effects through direct action on the endothelium, with a vasorelaxing effect by enhancement of NO bioavailability and reduction of eNOS-dependent oxidative stress. Enhanced NNMT activity is a feature of many types of cancer. How much direct involvement MNA has in the tumorigenesis associated with overexpression of NNMT is under investigation. MNA by itself increased mitochondrial Complex I activity and increased cancer cell viability in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells that do not produce NNMT.
• Analysis Note: These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP and BP primary standards, where they are available.
• Other Notes: This Certified Reference Material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. All information regarding the use of this CRM can be found on the certificate of analysis.
