Description

Benzoic Acid-Ring-Ul-14C is a carbon-14 labeled isotopologue of benzoic acid, a fundamental aromatic carboxylic acid. This labeled compound is essential for advanced research and development, enabling precise metabolic and environmental fate studies through its radioactive tracer properties. It is primarily required by scientists and quality control professionals in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental science sectors for applications in drug metabolism, pesticide residue analysis, and biochemical pathway elucidation.

Application

• Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) Studies: Used as a radiolabeled tracer to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of new chemical entities in preclinical research.
• Environmental Fate and Degradation Studies: Employed to trace the breakdown pathways, persistence, and metabolite formation of benzoic acid and related compounds in ecological systems.
• Biochemical Pathway Analysis: Serves as a tool in metabolic research to study the biosynthesis and catabolism of aromatic compounds in microorganisms and plants.
• Analytical Method Development: Acts as an internal standard or reference material in the development and validation of sensitive analytical methods, such as LC-MS and radio-HPLC.
• Agrochemical Research: Utilized in studies to understand the metabolic fate of pesticides and herbicides that share structural motifs with or degrade to benzoic acid.
• Quality Control and Reference Standard: Provides a certified radiolabeled standard for ensuring accuracy and precision in quantitative analytical laboratories.
