Nicotinamide-¹⁵N,¹³C₃  (Synonyms: Niacinamide-¹⁵N,¹³C₃; Nicotinic acid amide-¹⁵N,¹³C₃)

Nicotinamide-¹⁵N,¹³C₃ is the ¹³C-labeled and ¹⁵N-labeled Nicotinamide. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that plays essential roles in cell physiology through facilitating NAD+ redox homeostasis and providing NAD+ as a substrate to a class of enzymes that catalyze non-redox reactions. Nicotinamide is an inhibitor of SIRT1.

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].
