Niacinamide
Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide or Vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for cellular metabolism and energy production. As an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), it is widely used in dermatological treatments for conditions like acne, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation due to its anti-inflammatory, sebum-regulating, and skin-brightening properties. In systemic medicine, it is crucial for treating pellagra (niacin deficiency). The API works by serving as a precursor to coenzymes NAD and NADP, vital for numerous redox reactions. It is characterized by its white crystalline powder form, high stability, and excellent solubility, making it suitable for various oral and topical pharmaceutical formulations.
