N: 1. Chemical name: N1N-diethylnicotinamide.

2. Biology > Vitamine: nikethamide,

  • Nicotinic acid diethylamide is used as a central and respiratory stimulant. It is water-soluble and replaces camphor in therapy.

3. Medication: nikethamide.

  • A cerebral and respiratory stimulant, … occurring as a colorless to pale yellow, somewhat viscous liquid; used to counteract respiratory and central nervous system depression and circulatory failure, administered intramuscularly and intravenously.

4. Nikethamide is a stimulant which mainly affects the respiratory cycle. Widely known by its former trade name of Coramine, it was used in the mid-twentieth century as a medical countermeasure against tranquilizer overdoses, before the advent of endotracheal intubation and positive-pressure lung expansion. It is no longer commonly considered to be of value for such purposes.

In alternate terminology, it is known as nicotinic acid diethylamide, which meaningfully emphasizes its laboratory origins, and of which its common name is derived as a blend.
