Myristyl nicotinate (Standard)

Myristyl nicotinate (Standard) is the analytical standard of Myristyl nicotinate. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Myristyl nicotinate (Tetradecyl nicotinate) is an ester proagent and a lipophilic derivative of Nicotinic acid. Myristyl nicotinate is being developed for delivery of Nicotinic acid into the skin for prevention of actinic keratosis and its progression to skin cancer. Myristyl nicotinate shows to stimulate epidermal differentiation in photodamaged skin, increasing skin NAD content and strengthening the skin barrier[1][2].
