Application

Isonicotinamide (pyridine-4-carboxamide) can be used as a heterocyclic building block to synthesize:
  • 4-oxo-1,3-thiazinan-3-yl isonicotinamide derivatives as potential anti-tubercular agents.
  • Organotin(IV) complexes of isonicotinamide via synthesis of phosphoramidate ligands for various biological activity studies.
  • Bis-pyridinium isonicotinamide derivatives of 2-(hydroxyimino)-N-(pyridin-3-yl)acetamide as potent reactivators sarin.

It can also be used as a co-former with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to prepare co-crystals.
