Description
A pyridine alkaloid formed by the methylation of the nitrogen atom of niacin; used to reduce blood glucose levels and to inhibit PPARγ expression in rat models of diabetes; inhibits the migration of hepatocarcinoma cells and renders them more susceptible to apoptosis by reducing Raf/ERK/Nrf2 protein levels and activities of anti-oxidative enzymes further downstream
