What is Nicotinamide Riboside CAS 1341-23-7?

Nicotinamide Riboside is a pyridine-nucleoside form of vitamin B3 with the molecular formula C₁₁H₁₅N₂O₅ and a molecular weight of 255.25 g/mol. It is also known as nicotinamide ribonucleoside or N-ribosylnicotinamide.

What is Nicotinamide Riboside used for?

It is used as a raw material for NAD+ precursor supplements and research formulations. The ingredient supports anti-aging, metabolic-health and cell-energy product development.

How does Nicotinamide Riboside differ from niacin and niacinamide?

Nicotinamide Riboside is a riboside form of vitamin B3 rather than the free acid or amide. It is used specifically because it can be converted to NAD+ through a nucleoside-based pathway, which makes it a distinct ingredient choice in NAD+ booster products.

Which specifications should be checked before using Nicotinamide Riboside?

Check HPLC assay, related substances, water content, residual solvents, heavy metals and microbial limits. Because the material is hygroscopic, also confirm appearance, packaging and storage requirements for the actual batch.

How should Nicotinamide Riboside be stored and handled?

Keep it in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, light-protected area and minimize exposure to moisture. Use powder-handling controls and appropriate PPE during transfer and weighing.

Product Description

Nicotinamide Riboside, CAS 1341-23-7, commonly abbreviated NR, is a pyridine-nucleoside form of vitamin B3; the EC/EINECS number is 811-511-0.

Synonyms: Nicotinamide ribonucleoside; N-Ribosylnicotinamide.

CAS: 1341-23-7.

Molecular formula: C₁₁H₁₅N₂O₅.

Molecular weight: 255.25.

EC number: 811-511-0.

It is a white to off-white, low-melting solid or semi-solid, practically odorless and hygroscopic.

It is freely soluble in water and practically insoluble in most non-polar organic solvents; the predicted log P is about -2.3.

It is a NAD+ precursor converted to NAD+ through a nucleoside-based pathway, distinct from niacin and niacinamide.

It is used as a raw material for NAD+ precursor supplements and research formulations supporting anti-aging, metabolic-health and cell-energy development.

It is also used in functional foods, beverages, cosmetics and biomedical research formulations.

Aqueous solutions degrade faster at neutral or alkaline pH and are more stable under mildly acidic conditions; the solid is sensitive to moisture and heat.

Confirm HPLC assay, related substances, water content, residual solvents, heavy metals and microbial limits for the intended grade.

Store tightly sealed at -20 °C or 2–8 °C in a dry, dark place protected from air and moisture; use powder-handling controls and suitable PPE.

Confirm the current product-specific specification.

Confirm packaging with the requested quantity and destination requirements.

Document requirements should be confirmed from the current specification, SDS, COA or other product-specific files.
