Answer 1

Wikipedia actually gives fairly good information on this vitamin.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotinic_a...

Another site to visit about properties is the Sigma-Aldrich chemical site. Search for niacin, and click on the MSDS. It is the safety guide for dealing with nicotinic acid in the lab.

A site I found through Google gives more information on it.

Answer 4

I Haven't Looked it Up, but Would Expect There to Be a Very Good Description of this Vitamin In the Merck Index (Not Manual).

Answer 5

Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy:

Ideally get a pharmacology or medicinal chemistry text.
