Description

3-Pyridinecarboxylic Acid Magnesium Salt is a coordination complex of magnesium and nicotinic acid, offering enhanced stability and bioavailability compared to the free acid form. This compound is valued for its role as a source of bioavailable magnesium and as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredients. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, dietary supplement, and fine chemical synthesis industries for its consistent quality and reliable performance.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A critical building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those targeting metabolic and neurological pathways.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used as a bioavailable source of magnesium and niacin (Vitamin B3) in mineral and vitamin supplement formulations.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a reagent and standard in enzymatic studies and metabolic research due to its role in NAD/NADP cofactor systems.
• Catalyst & Ligand Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for creating specialized ligands and catalysts used in organic synthesis and polymerization processes.
• Animal Nutrition: Incorporated into feed premixes to ensure adequate magnesium and vitamin B3 levels for livestock health and development.
