代谢
肌醇烟酸酯通过血浆酯酶的水解作用,以持续的方式释放出游离的烟酸和肌醇。这个过程需要超过48小时,其中发现肌醇六烟酸酯的血浆酶水解在肌醇六烟酸酯的第一个酯键比后续的键慢。肌醇烟酸酯的逐步水解每一步形成一个烟酸分子,最终产生六个烟酸分子和一个肌醇部分。
Inositol nicotinate undergoes hydrolysis by plasma esterases, releasing free nicotinic acid and inositol in a sustained manner. The process takes more than 48hours, where the bloodstream enzymatic hydrolysis of inositol hexanicotinate was found to be slower in the first ester linkage of inositol hexanicotinate than in subsequent linkages. Sequential hydrolytic steps of inositol nicotinate forms one nicotinic acid molecule in each step, producing eventually six molecules of nicotinic acid and one inositol moiety.
