“…Because of this, many studies have been conducted regarding metal lanthanides and their derivatives [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Many of these derivatives are created from the coordination of lanthanides with organic and biological molecules such as nicotinic acid (3-picoline, vitamin B3 or pyridine-3-carboxylic acid), which is the biological precursor of the co-enzymes, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP).…”
