Description

Decyl Alcohol-1-14C is a carbon-14 labeled isotopologue of 1-decanol, a primary fatty alcohol. This radiolabeled compound is essential for precise metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies, enabling researchers to track the fate of decyl alcohol or its derivatives within complex biological or chemical systems. It is a critical tool for scientists in pharmaceutical R&D, agrochemical development, and environmental science who require definitive data on absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME).

Application

• Tracer Studies in Metabolism Research: Used as a radiolabeled tracer to investigate the metabolic pathways and biotransformation of decyl alcohol and related compounds in vivo and in vitro.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Critical for ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) studies of drug candidates where a decyl alcohol moiety is part of the molecule.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed to study the environmental fate, degradation, and plant uptake of pesticides or herbicides containing a decyl chain.
• Biochemical Pathway Analysis: Facilitates the elucidation of specific enzymatic reactions and biochemical mechanisms involving fatty alcohols.
• Material Science Research: Can be used to study the incorporation, stability, and breakdown of decyl alcohol units in polymers or specialty materials.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediary: Serves as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex carbon-14 labeled compounds for research purposes.
