Description

n-Methylnicotinamide is a key pyridine derivative and an important metabolite of niacin (vitamin B3). This compound matters as a versatile biochemical intermediate and a high-purity building block for advanced research and synthesis. It is primarily needed by the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science research sectors for applications in metabolic studies, enzymatic research, and as a precursor for more complex molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard, substrate, or inhibitor in enzymatic assays and metabolic pathway studies, particularly those involving NAD(P) metabolism.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Employed in the production of reagents for clinical diagnostics and research kits.
• Life Science Standards: Acts as a high-purity reference standard for analytical methods such as HPLC and LC-MS in quality control laboratories.
• Nutritional Science Studies: Utilized in research investigating niacin metabolism, vitamin B3 activity, and related nutritional biochemistry.
• Organic Synthesis: Functions as a specialized starting material or intermediate for synthesizing more complex heterocyclic compounds.

Quality Control

Our n-Methylnicotinamide CAS NO 114-33-0 is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with lot-specific data are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
