CAS 59-67-6: Nicotinic acid
Description:Nicotinic acid, also known as niacin or vitamin B3, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5NO2. It is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism, particularly in the conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy. Nicotinic acid is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and a slightly bitter taste. It is soluble in water and alcohol but insoluble in non-polar solvents. The compound exhibits a pKa value around 4.75, indicating its acidic nature. Nicotinic acid is essential for the synthesis of coenzymes NAD and NADP, which are vital for redox reactions in biological systems. Additionally, it has therapeutic applications, including the treatment of dyslipidemia, as it can help lower cholesterol levels and improve cardiovascular health. However, excessive intake can lead to side effects such as flushing, gastrointestinal distress, and liver toxicity. Overall, nicotinic acid is a significant nutrient with diverse biological functions and health benefits.
