Nicotinyl alcohol tartrate

Nicotinyl alcohol tartrate (CAS 6164-87-0), also known as Ronicol tartrate and Niacol, is the tartrate salt form of nicotinyl alcohol used primarily in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It functions as a stabilized, bioavailable delivery form of nicotinyl alcohol.

This compound supports the incorporation of nicotinyl alcohol into solid and semi-solid dosage forms. In pharmaceutical formulations, it is used in tablets and extended-release preparations targeting peripheral circulation support.

The tartrate salt improves handling and dosage precision during the manufacturing process. The compound also serves as a pH-regulating excipient in formulations where buffering capacity influences active ingredient stability.

Nutraceutical manufacturers incorporate it into vitamin B-adjacent supplement blends where nicotinic alcohol derivatives are specified by formulation brief. This ensures the final product meets specific nutritional requirements.

Contract manufacturers sourcing for finished-dose production use it as an intermediate where the salt form is required. This is often necessary to meet dissolution or compendial specifications for the final pharmaceutical product.

Nicotinyl alcohol tartrate is typically supplied as a white crystalline powder. It is available in pharmaceutical-grade specifications suitable for solid dosage manufacturing, with material generally offered in kilogram to metric-ton quantities.

Certificate of Analysis documentation covering purity, melting point, and related substances is standard for pharma-channel supply. This ensures compliance with rigorous industry quality standards for chemical distribution.
