Nicotinamide
The most common form of vitamin B3 (niacin). In the body it is part of NAD, a coenzyme essential for obtaining energy from sugars and fats; in 1937 the biochemist Conrad Elvehjem showed that it cures pellagra in dogs, paving the way for curing the disease in humans. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, metabolites, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?Its name comes from nicotine: nicotinic acid, the twin compound from which nicotinamide derives, was first produced from nicotine long before its role as a vitamin was known.
