Nicotinic acid, also known as niacin, is a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex and essential human nutrient. Niacin deficiency, often the result of impaired nutritional status associated with conditions ranging from malnutrition to chronic alcoholism, is monitored in patient plasma samples by HPLC.
