DescriptionNicotinic acid, also known as niacin or 3-carboxypyridine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyridinecarboxylic acids. Pyridinecarboxylic acids are compounds containing a pyridine ring bearing a carboxylic acid group. Nicotinic acid is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Nicotinic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within yeast, nicotinic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate and nicotinic acid can be converted into nicotinic acid mononucleotide; which is mediated by the enzyme nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase. In addition, nicotinic acid and ammonium can be biosynthesized from niacinamide; which is catalyzed by the enzyme nicotinamidase. In yeast, nicotinic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the nad metabolism pathway. Nicotinic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
