NMN supplement is a nutritional supplement, a metabolite naturally occurring in plants and animals, which mainly consists of the precursor of the coenzyme NAD+. NMN is a substance that can be supplemented to increase NAD+ levels. NAD+ is an important metabolic substance in cells and participates in various biological processes such as cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair. NMN supplementation is thought to increase NAD+ levels, improve metabolic disease, and delay aging.
Introduction Rare ginsenoside Rg3, an active extract from Panax ginseng, is reported to possess a wide range of pharmacological properties including anti-angiogenesis and anti-cancer, with high lipophilicity (estimated log P4) and a low water solubility at pH7.4. Nevertheless, its permeability and bioavailability are relatively low, and production procedures are complex. Remarkably, the metabolites of Rg3 have similar and even stronger activity than Rg3, opening up new opportunities for future adjuvant cancer therapy. The association of ginsenoside Rg3 and its metabolites There are two epimers of ginsenoside Rg3, which can be subsequently deglycosylated into epimers of ginsenoside Rh2 (S-Rh2 and R-Rh2) and protopanaxadiol (S-PPD and R-PPD). The anti-cancer properties of Rg3 metabolites Angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation are both interdependent factors in tumor progression. In terms of anti-proliferation, Rg3 metabolites, who induce S-phase arrest and necroptosis in a human triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 as well as G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), are more potent than Rg3. The clinically relevant target of Rg3 metabolites are the endothelial cells. Anti-angiogenic effects are evaluated using loop formation assay. Among Rg3 metabolites, S-Rh2 is the most potent inhibitor of loop formation. VEGFR2 and AQP1 as the targets of Rh2 According to the prediction by in silico molecular docking, there is a good binding score between Rh2/PPD and the ATP-binding pocket of VEGFR2, a dominant regulator controlling both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Through VEGF bioassay, it is discovered that S-Rh2 is a most potent anti-angiogenic candidate with allosteric modulatory action on VEGFR2 function. In addition, Rh2 and PPD have the potential of blocking AQP1 and AQP5, two members of the aquaporin family with vital roles in proliferation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis. Moreover, Rg3 is more selective for AQP1 and does not show a good binding score with AQP5. In light of this, blocking the water channel function of AQP1 may have an immediate role in inhibition of loop formation and anti-angiogenic effects of Rh2. Conclusion Metabolites of Rg3 could potentially increase the anti-cancer properties of Rg3. The application of these molecules alone or together may be potent alternatives for future adjuvant cancer therapy. Reference Nakhjavani M, Smith E, Yeo K, et al.

1. Introduction Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) has been deemed as a functional nutrient for improving human intestinal health. In this study, an in vitro simulated digestion model is established under salivary and gastrointestinal conditions to determine the digestive properties of NMN, followed by the track of subsequent fermentation and its effect on the intestinal microbiota. 2. The digestion and fermentation of NMN No significant change is discernible in the molecular weight of NMN under salivary and gastrointestinal conditions. The hydrolysis rates of NMN to nicotinamide (NAM) in saliva, gastric juice and intestinal fluid are 3.0%, 1.9% and 4.2%, respectively, signifying that NMN can reach the colon without apparent difficulty. Post 24-h fermentation, NMN boosts the accumulation of propionate and butyrate by 88 % and 23 %, respectively, enhancing the abundance of beneficial genera (Bifidobacterium, Phascolarctobacterium, Faecalibacterium and Alistipes) and repressing proliferation of some harmful bacteria (Sutterella, Desulfovibrio and Pseudomonas) in human intestinal microbiota. 3. The intestine metabolic pathway of NMN Prior to being absorbed by the human body, NMN should be first transformed into nicotinamide ribose (NR), then degraded to NAM and converted to niacinate (NA). Concretely, intestinal microbiome degraded into various fermentation products such as NR, NAM, NA, etc., which are absorbed and utilized as nutrients by the intestinal microbiome. 4. The role of SCFAs in intestinal tract Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate, are the major products of carbohydrate fermentation in the colon, which can maintain normal gut function, bolster the absorption of sodium and calcium, promote digestion, facilitate the healing of injured intestinal mucosa, and prevent ulcers and enteritis. 5. The relationship between NMN, intestinal microbiota, and SCFAs NMN and its catabolism intermediates function as a carbon source for the proliferation of intestinal microbes during the in vitro NMN fermentation by human intestinal microbes. The low level of branched SCFAs in the NMN group is due to the breakdown of NMN by microorganisms into a variety of carbohydrates, including NAM and ribose. 6. Conclusion In addition to modulating the fermentation metabolites, NMN can regulate microbiota composition by promoting the proliferation of beneficial genera, providing a potent guarantee and support for intestinal health.

Introduction Replenishing nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to raise the availability of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has been deemed as effective approach to prevent neurodegeneration in aging and pathological conditions including ALS, a fatal progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no known way to cure. The association of SOD1 and TDP-43 with ALS Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is the first identified protein associated with familial ALS. In most ALS cases, Transactive Response DNA Binding Protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology is frequently observed. Both SOD1 and TDP-43 have tight association with motor neuron degeneration in patients with ALS. Mutant SOD1 could affect the solubility/insolubility of TDP-43 through physical interactions. Mutant SOD1G93A and the fragment form of TDP-43 can exert synergistic effect to mediate toxic events in apoptosis. The protective effect of NMN on motor neurons NMN can increase the neurite length and complexity in mouse motor neurons and iPSC-derived human motor neurons overexpressing wild-type TDP-43/mutant hSOD1G93A. Meanwhile, it prevents the neuronal death and increased nitro-tyrosine immunoreactivity induced by trophic factor deprivation. In motor neurons overexpressing mutant hSOD1G93A, the neuroprotection conferred by NMN supplementation is mediated by a mechanism that involves an increase in glutathione content. However, this neuroprotective effect does not involve the alteration of glutathione content in non-transgenic or TDP-43 overexpressing motor neurons. The involvement of TDP-43 pathology in ALS NMN supplementation can confer axonal protection in motor neurons isolated from two dissimilar models of ALS, with and without involvement of TDP-43 pathology. Besides, NMN treatment correct the morphological changes induced by TDP-43 overexpression in motor neurons and boost the nuclear localization of TDP-43 and phosphorylated TDP-43, which favors its nuclear localization and averts the detrimental effects of TDP-43 overexpression on neurite length and complexity. Conclusion Supplementation of NAD+ precursor NMN can modulate neurite complexity and survival in motor neurons, showing great therapeutic potential in the context of ALS pathology.
