Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

A large single dose of nicotinamide (1000 mg kg-1) enhanced the tumour cell killing by L-PAM as measured by tumour cell survival.
This enhancement was maximum when nicotinamide was administered within 1 h before injecting the L-PAM.
When given at this time, the nicotinamide had a dose-modifying effect on all L-PAM doses tested, giving rise to a mean enhancement ratio (ER) of 2.2.

In vivo enhancement of the tumoricidal effects of L-PAM was observed with the ADPRP inhibitor nicotinamide (1000 mg/kg), although enhanced myelosuppression was also demonstrated.
Nicotinamide also increased the plasma elimination half-life of L-PAM by a factor of at least 2.
