Definition
Nicotinic acid ribonucleoside (CAS: 17720-18-2) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glycosylamines. Glycosylamines are compounds consisting of an amine with a beta-N-glycosidic bond to a carbohydrate, thus forming a cyclic hemiaminal ether bond (alpha-amino ether). Nicotinic acid ribonucleoside is involved in the nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism pathways. Nicotinic acid ribonucleoside can be reversibly converted into nicotinate and nicotinate D-ribonucleoside by purine-nucleoside phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.1) and 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5), respectively.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glycosylamines. Glycosylamines are compounds consisting of an amine with a beta-N-glycosidic bond to a carbohydrate, thus forming a cyclic hemiaminal ether bond (alpha-amino ether).
