Separation type: Liquid Chromatography Mixed-mode
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Nicotinic Acid, Nicotinamide, Pyridine Dicarboxylic Acid, Ethyl Methyl Pyridine and Ethyl Nicotinate Nicotinic acid, also known as Niacin or Vitamin B3, is an essential nutrient that plants and animals synthesize from tryptophan. It is also used as a dietary supplement to treat pellagra. A derivative of Nicotinic acid, Nictotinamide, is a key component of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). Pyridine Dicarboxylic acid (PDA), or Dipicolinic acid (DPA), is a key factor in bacterial endospore heat resistance. It also plays an important role in preparing transition metal complexes for ion chromatography. Ethyl Methyl Pyridine is a common precursor to Nicotinic acid. Ethyl nicotinate, or nicotine acid ethyl ester, is a popular topical treatment for ligament, joint, and muscle pain. These 5 organic compounds can be separated, retained, and analyzed on a Primesep 100 mixed-mode column using an analytical method with a simple gradient mobile phase of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and a sulfuric acid (H2SO4) buffer. This analysis method can be UV detected at 250 nm with high resolution and peak symmetry.
