Labelled Nicotinic acid. It is a precursor of the coenzymes NAD and NADP. Widely distributed in nature; appreciable amounts are found in liver , fish, yeast and cereal grains. Dietary deficiency is associated with pellagra. The term “niacin” has also been applied to nicotinamide or to other derivatives exhibiting the biological activity of nicotinic acid. Vitamin (enzyme cofactor).
Nicotinic acid-(ring-d4) can be used as an internal standard for the quantification of nicotinic acid in the biological sample by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). It can be also used as a precursor for the preparation of N′-nitrosonornicotine-2,4,5,6-d4 derivative.
ChEBI: Nicotinic-d4 acid is a nicotinic acid and a deuterated compound.
Nicotinic acid (pyridine-3-carboxylic acid) is also known as niacin or vitamin B3. It is a water-soluble vitamin found in some vegetable and animal sources. Niacin is also a precursor for the synthesis of NAD and NADP.
