· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Isonicotinic Acid
Isonicotinic Acid is an nucleoside with the C 6 H 5 NO 2 molecular formula. It is a derivative of pyridine, making it a pyridinemonocarboxylic acid. It acts primarily as a metabolite in humans and algae.
Isonicotinic Acid can be retained and analyzed using the Primesep 100 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with phosphoric acid as a buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
