Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of preparation of nicotinamide riboside salts, and in particular to a nicotinamide riboside organic acid salt and its preparation and application. Background Art

[0002] Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is an important vitamin B3 derivative. In recent years, it has garnered widespread attention in the life sciences and health fields. Within the body, NR participates in key metabolic processes, particularly the synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). NAD+ is a well-known coenzyme that plays an essential role in numerous physiological processes, including cellular energy metabolism, DNA repair, and gene expression regulation. With aging or in certain disease states, NAD+ levels decrease in the body, potentially implicated in the development and progression of age-related diseases and some metabolic disorders. Therefore, NR supplementation has emerged as a potential intervention to maintain or elevate NAD+ levels, thereby improving health or preventing disease. In recent years, nicotinamide riboside has garnered significant attention as an emerging NAD+ precursor supplement. Nicotinamide riboside chloride has received GRAS designation from the US FDA, and NR chloride has been recognized by the FDA as generally recognized as safe.

[0003] However, nicotinamide riboside has some significant drawbacks and limitations in practical applications. For example, its relatively poor chemical stability may affect its storage, transportation, and effectiveness in practical applications. Furthermore, nicotinamide riboside's bioavailability is low, and there is still room for further improvement to achieve better physiological effects at lower doses.

[0004] Organic acid salts are a class of compounds widely used in medicinal chemistry and bioactive research. Forming salts of nicotinamide riboside with organic acids can improve the physicochemical properties of nicotinamide riboside to a certain extent. Given the important physiological functions of nicotinamide riboside and the limitations of existing forms, developing organic acid salts of nicotinamide riboside to enhance its stability and improve its bioavailability has important scientific significance and potential application value.

[0005] Chinese invention patent publication number CN 111454311 A discloses a method for preparing an organic acid salt of nicotinamide riboside.
