Niacin is used as an adjunct to dietary therapy in patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) and hypercholesterolemia to reduce the risk of recurrent nonfatal MI. Extended-release niacin in fixed combination with lovastatin is used in patients for whom treatment with both extended-release niacin and lovastatin is appropriate. /Included in US product label/
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2017; Drug Information 2017. Bethesda, MD. 2017, p. 1936
Niacin, in combination with a bile acid sequestrant, also is used to slow the progression or promote regression of atherosclerosis in patients with clinical evidence of coronary heart disease who have elevated cholesterol concentrations. Extended-release niacin in fixed combination with lovastatin is used in patients for whom treatment with both extended-release niacin and lovastatin is appropriate. /Included in US product label/
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2017; Drug Information 2017. Bethesda, MD. 2017, p. 1936

Concomitant administration of niacin with alcohol, hot drinks, or spicy foods may increase the risk of flushing or pruritus; these beverages or foods should be avoided at the time of drug ingestion.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2017; Drug Information 2017. Bethesda, MD. 2017, p. 1937
Decreased glucose tolerance has been reported in patients receiving niacin in controlled clinical trials. Therefore, the manufacturers and many clinicians suggest that patients with (or those at risk of developing) diabetes mellitus be observed closely. The ACC/AHA cholesterol management guideline recommends that fasting blood glucose concentrations or glycosylated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c, HbA1c) be obtained before initiation of therapy, following an increase in niacin dosage, and periodically (e.g., every 6 months) thereafter. If niacin is used in diabetic or potentially diabetic patients, dosages of niacin and/or antidiabetic agents should be adjusted appropriately. Niacin should be discontinued if hyperglycemia persists.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2017; Drug Information 2017. Bethesda, MD. 2017, p. 1939
Niacin should be used with caution in patients with unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction (MI), or coronary heart disease (CHD), particularly when these patients also are receiving vasoactive drugs such as nitrates, calcium-channel blockers, or adrenergic blocking agents. Since niacin therapy has been associated with small, but statistically significant, increases in prothrombin time (PT), the drug, alone or in fixed combination with lovastatin, should be used with caution in patients undergoing surgery. PT and platelet count should be monitored closely in patients receiving niacin concomitantly with anticoagulants.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2017; Drug Information 2017. Bethesda, MD. 2017, p. 1939
Because hyperuricemia has been reported with niacin therapy, the drug should be used with caution in patients predisposed to gout. The ACC/AHA cholesterol management guideline recommends that uric acid concentrations be obtained before initiation of therapy, following an increase in niacin dosage, and periodically (e.g., every 6 months) thereafter. Niacin should be discontinued if acute gout occurs.

Niacin is indicated to prevent vitamin deficiencies in pediatric and adult patients receiving parenteral nutrition as part of multivitamin intravenous injections. Niacin oral tablets are indicated as a monotherapy or in combination with simvastatin or lovastatin to treat primary hyperlipidemia and mixed dyslipidemia. It can also be used to reduce the risk of nonfatal myocardial infarctions in patients with a history of myocardial infarction and hyperlipidemia. Niacin is also indicated with bile acid binding resins to treat atherosclerosis in patients with coronary artery disease and hyperlipidemia or to treat primary hyperlipidemia. Finally niacin is indicated to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia.
FDA Label
Niacin is a B vitamin used to treat vitamin deficiencies as well as hyperlipidemia, dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and to reduce the risk of myocardial infarctions. Niacin acts to decrease levels of very low density lipoproteins and low density lipoproteins, while increasing levels of high density lipoproteins. Niacin has a wide therapeutic window with usual oral doses between 500mg and 2000mg. Patients with diabetes, renal failure, uncontrolled hypothyroidism, and elderly patients taking niacin with simvastatin or lovastatin are at increased risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.
Vasodilator Agents
Drugs used to cause dilation of the blood vessels. (See all compounds classified as Vasodilator Agents.)
Hypolipidemic Agents
Substances that lower the levels of certain LIPIDS in the BLOOD. They are used to treat HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. (See all compounds classified as Hypolipidemic Agents.)

Absorption
In patients with chronic kidney disease, the Cmax is 0.06g/mL for a 500mg oral dose, 2.42g/mL for a 1000mg oral dose, and 4.22g/mL for a 1500mg oral dose. The Tmax is 3.0 hours for a 1000mg or 1500mg oral dose. The AUC is 1.44g\*h/mL for a 500mg oral dose, 6.66g\*h/mL for a 1000mg oral dose, and 12.41g\*h/mL for a 1500mg oral dose. These values did not drastically differ in patients requiring dialysis.
Route of Elimination

Niacin is rapidly and extensively (60-76% of dose) absorbed following oral administration. Peak plasma concentrations of niacin following administration of an immediate-release (Niacor) or extended-release (Niaspan) niacin preparation generally are attained within 30-60 minutes or 4-5 hours after oral administration, respectively. The bioavailability of 1 tablet containing 1 g of extended-release niacin in fixed combination with 40 mg of lovastatin (Advicor 1 g/40 mg) differs from that of 2 tablets each containing 500 mg of extended-release niacin in fixed combination with 20 mg of lovastatin (Advicor 500 mg/20 mg). ... Peak plasma concentrations of niacin and metabolites following oral administration of Niaspan extended-release tablets appear to be slightly higher in women than in men, possibly because of differences in metabolism. Limited data suggest that women may exhibit greater antilipemic response to niacin than men, possibly because of gender-specific differences in the metabolic rate or volume of distribution of the drug.

Niacin and its metabolites are rapidly excreted in urine. Following oral administration of single and multiple doses of an immediate-release (Niacor) or extended-release (Niaspan) niacin preparation, approximately 88 or 60-76% of the dose, respectively, was excreted in urine as unchanged drug and inactive metabolites.

The metabolism of niacin is poorly described in the literature, but the metabolites niacinamide, niacinamide N-oxide, nicotinuric acid, N1-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide, N1-methyl-4-pyridone-5-carboxamide, and trigonelline have been identified in human urine.
... Nicotinamide is the main substance that is transported between the different tissues as a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) synthesis. The liver, kidneys, brain and erythrocytes prefer nicotinic acid as a precursor for NAD synthesis, but testes and ovaries prefer nicotinamide. NAD nucleosidase cleaves NAD with nicotinamide as one of the products. This can be deamidated to form nicotinic acid (and re-converted to NAD) or methylated and released via urine. Excretion of the amide (and its metabolites) tends to be more extensive compared to the acid.

Niacin is rapidly metabolized and undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism. The drug is converted to several metabolites, including nicotinuric acid (NUA), nicotinamide, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). At doses used to treat hyperlipoproteinemia, the principal metabolic pathways appear to be saturable, and niacin is thought to exhibit nonlinear, dose-dependent pharmacokinetics. Nicotinamide does not appear to exert antilipemic effects; the activity of other metabolites on lipoprotein fractions currently are unknown.

After doses of 100 mg of niacin (total dose of 200 mg), the urinary excretion of alkalihydrolyzable niacin derivatives and of N1-methylnicotinamide increased from 6.0 to 14.6 mg and from 2.8 to 5.7 mg after 3 hr in four human subjects, respectively. Chromatographic results showed the major metabolite in the urine to be nicotinuric acid, forming 92-99% of the alkalihydrolysable derivatives. Niacinamide (1-4%) was the other metabolite. There was no free niacin in the urine except in one subject who had intense flushing of the skin soon after ingesting the niacin. In these four subjects, there was a large increase in the excretion of N1-methylnicotinamide, which varied from 6.9 to 16.6 mg/3 hr. The small rise in the tertiary nicotinyl derivatives (0.9 to 1.8 mg) was solely due to niacinamide, since no other nicotinyl compound could be detected on the paper chromatograms. Urine from undosed subjects, averaged 0.53 mg N1-methylnicotinamide for a period of 3 hr. The total content of tertiary alkali-hydrolyzable derivative of niacin ranged from 0.2 to 0.3 mg within 3 hr.

Niacin performs a number of functions in the body and so has many mechanisms, not all of which have been fully described. Niacin can decrease lipids and apolipoprotein B (apo B)-containing lipoproteins by modulating triglyceride synthesis in the liver, which degrades apo B, or by modulating lipolysis in adipose tissue. Niacin inhibits hepatocyte diacylglycerol acyltransferase-2. This action prevents the final step of triglyceride synthesis in hepatocytes, limiting available triglycerides for very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). This activity also leads to intracellular degradation of apo B and decreased production of low density lipoproteins, the catabolic product of VLDL. Niacin also inhibits a high density lipoprotein (HDL) catabolism receptor, which increases the levels and half life of HDL.
Prolonged niacin treatment elicits beneficial effects on the plasma lipid and lipoprotein profile that is associated with a protective CVD risk profile. Acute niacin treatment inhibits nonesterified fatty acid release from adipocytes and stimulates prostaglandin release from skin Langerhans cells, but the acute effects diminish upon prolonged treatment, while the beneficial effects remain. To gain insight in the prolonged effects of niacin on lipid metabolism in adipocytes, we used a mouse model with a human-like lipoprotein metabolism and drug response [female APOE*3-Leiden.CETP (apoE3 Leiden cholesteryl ester transfer protein) mice] treated with and without niacin for 15 weeks. The gene expression profile of gonadal white adipose tissue (gWAT) from niacin-treated mice showed an upregulation of the "biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids" pathway, which was corroborated by quantitative PCR and analysis of the FA ratios in gWAT. Also, adipocytes from niacin-treated mice secreted more of the PUFA DHA ex vivo. This resulted in an increased DHA/arachidonic acid (AA) ratio in the adipocyte FA secretion profile and in plasma of niacin-treated mice. Interestingly, the DHA metabolite 19,20-dihydroxy docosapentaenoic acid (19,20-diHDPA) was increased in plasma of niacin-treated mice. Both an increased DHA/AA ratio and increased 19,20-diHDPA are indicative for an anti-inflammatory profile and may indirectly contribute to the atheroprotective lipid and lipoprotein profile associated with prolonged niacin treatment.

/The study objective was/ to determine the effects of niacin on adiponectin and markers of adipose tissue inflammation in a mouse model of obesity. Male C57BL/6 mice were placed on a control or high-fat diet (HFD) and were maintained on such diets for the duration of the study. After 6 weeks on the control or high fat diets, vehicle or niacin treatments were initiated and maintained for 5 weeks. Identical studies were conducted concurrently in HCA2 (-/-) (niacin receptor(-/-)) mice. Niacin increased serum concentrations of the anti-inflammatory adipokine, adiponectin by 21% in HFD-fed wild-type mice, but had no effect on lean wild-type or lean or HFD-fed HCA2 (-/-) mice. Niacin increased adiponectin gene and protein expression in the HFD-fed wild-type mice only. The increases in adiponectin serum concentrations, gene and protein expression occurred independently of changes in expression of PPARgamma C/EBPalpha or SREBP-1c (key transcription factors known to positively regulate adiponectin gene transcription) in the adipose tissue. Further, niacin had no effect on adipose tissue expression of ERp44, Ero1-Lalpha, or DsbA-L (key ER chaperones involved in adiponectin production and secretion). However, niacin treatment attenuated HFD-induced increases in adipose tissue gene expression of MCP-1 and IL-1beta in the wild-type HFD-fed mice. Niacin also reduced the expression of the pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage marker CD11c in HFD-fed wild-type mice. Niacin treatment attenuates obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation through increased adiponectin and anti-inflammatory cytokine expression and reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in a niacin receptor-dependent manner.

Nicotinic acid (niacin), a vitamin of the B complex, has been used for almost 50 years as a lipid-lowering drug. The pharmacological effect of nicotinic acid requires doses that are much higher than those provided by a normal diet. Its primary action is to decrease lipolysis in adipose tissue by inhibiting hormone-sensitive triglyceride lipase. This anti-lipolytic effect of nicotinic acid involves the inhibition of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation in adipose tissue through a G(i)-protein-mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. A G-protein-coupled receptor for nicotinic acid has been proposed in adipocytes. Here, we show that the orphan G-protein-coupled receptor, "protein upregulated in macrophages by interferon-gamma" (mouse PUMA-G, human HM74), is highly expressed in adipose tissue and is a nicotinic acid receptor. Binding of nicotinic acid to PUMA-G or HM74 results in a G(i)-mediated decrease in cAMP levels. In mice lacking PUMA-G, the nicotinic acid-induced decrease in free fatty acid (FFA) and triglyceride plasma levels was abrogated, indicating that PUMA-G mediates the anti-lipolytic and lipid-lowering effects of nicotinic acid in vivo. The identification of the nicotinic acid receptor may be useful in the development of new drugs to treat dyslipidemia.
