Nutritional additive 3-Picolinic Acid CAS 59-67-6 Nicotinic acid

Details:

Basic information 

Niacin belongs to the vitamin B family, also known as niacin, vitamin B3, and anti-dermatosis factor. Its molecular formula is C6H5NO2, and its chemical name is pyridine-3-carboxylic acid. It has good thermal stability and can be sublimated. The industry often uses sublimation to purify niacin. Niacin is white crystal or white crystalline powder in appearance. It is soluble in water. It is mainly found in internal organs and muscle tissues of animals. There are also trace amounts in fruits and egg yolks. It is one of the 13 essential vitamins for the human body.

Function and Application
Niacin and its derivative nicotinamide belong to the vitamin B series of compounds, which are indispensable nutrients in the human body, and play an important role in promoting the normal growth and development of the human body. Niacin can affect the hematopoietic process, promote iron absorption and blood cell production; maintain the normal function of the skin and the secretion of digestive glands; improve the excitability of the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system, reticuloendothelial system and endocrine function. In addition, the production performance of livestock and poultry can be improved. Niacin can significantly increase the feed conversion rate and egg production rate. When it is insufficient, it affects the glycolysis of sugar, citric acid cycle, respiratory chain and fatty acid biosynthesis, thereby causing niacin deficiency. Niacin is also an important pharmaceutical raw material and chemical intermediate. Niacin can be used to synthesize many drugs for the treatment of various skin diseases, hypertension and coronary heart disease. It can also be used as a drug intermediate for the production of isoniazid, nicotinic acid and inositol nicotinate. Niacin is also widely used in luminescent materials, dyes, animal feed, etc.
