4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Indicated as a dietary supplement for the source of niacin. Has been investigated for potential beneficial effects on serum lipids. In Europe, inositol hexanicotinate is indicated as a patented drug known as Hexopal, which is therapeutically indicated for the symptomatic relief of severe intermittent claudication and Raynauds phenomenon.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Inositol nicotinate mediates a vasodilatory, lipid-lowering and fibrinolytic effect on the cardiovascular system. Like other niacins, inositol nicotinate is a lipid-regulating agent that reduces the levels of plasma triglycerides, atherogenic apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins (VLDL, LDL and lipoprotein a) while increasing antiatherogenic apoA-I-containing HDL levels.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Vasodilator Agents

Drugs used to cause dilation of the blood vessels. (See all compounds classified as Vasodilator Agents.)


5.3 ATC Code

C - Cardiovascular system

C04 - Peripheral vasodilators

C04A - Peripheral vasodilators

C04AC - Nicotinic acid and derivatives

C04AC03 - Inositol nicotinate


5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Gastrointestinal absorption of inositol hexanicotinate varies widely, with an average of 70% of an orally ingested dose absorbed from stomach and upper small intestines into the bloodstream as intact form. The maximum serum levels of nicotinic acid is reached approximately 6-10 hours after oral ingestion. At low concentrations, the absorption of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide is mediated by sodium ion-dependent facilitated diffusion. At higher concentrations, passive diffusion predominates with doses of 3 to 4 g of niacin being almost completely absorbed.


Route of Elimination

Unabsorbed inositol nicotinate is detected in feces.


Volume of Distribution

Mean Vd following intravenous administration of 50mg/kg of inositol nicotinate in rats is 1051250 mL/kg.


Clearance

Mean clearance rate following intravenous administration of 50mg/kg of inositol nicotinate in rats is 65.419 mL/min/kg.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

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.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

Mean elimination half life in healthy human adults is approximately one hour.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Inositol nicotinate and other niacins directly and noncompetitively inhibit microsomal enzyme diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) responsible for esterification of fatty acids to form triglycerides, resulting in decreased triglyceride synthesis and hepatic atherogenic lipoprotein secretion. Inhibitied triglyceride synthesis results in accelerated intracellular hepatic apo B degradation and the decreased secretion of VLDL and LDL particles. Niacin also inhibits hepatic expression of beta-chain adenosine triphosphate synthase which inhibits the removal or uptake of HDLapo A-I. It is also suggested that niacin increases vascular endothelial cell redox state, resulting in the inhibition of oxidative stress and vascular inflammatory genes or key cytokines involved in atherosclerosis. It acts as a ligand on G-protein coupled receptor 109A (HCAR2/HM74A) and 109B (HCAR3/HM74) which mediates the anti-lipolytic and lipid-lowering effects of nicotinic acid. Niacin-mediated signalling of GPR109A expressed on adipocytes and G(i)-mediated decrease in cAMP levels result in decreased lipolysis, fatty acid mobilization, and triglyceride synthesis. The action of inositol nicotinate on GPR109A expressed on skin and macrophages to cause increased prostaglandin D2/E2 activity is thought to be less significant compared to other niacin molecules as it involves sustained release that leads to less flushing.
