Description

Anthracene-(1,2,3,4,4A,9A-14C) CAS NO 163702-16-7 is a high-purity, carbon-14 labeled derivative of anthracene, a fundamental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). This isotopically labeled compound is essential for advanced research and development, enabling precise tracking and quantification in complex systems. It is primarily utilized by scientists in the pharmaceutical, environmental, and materials science sectors for tracer studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and degradation studies.

Application

• Metabolic and Pharmacokinetic Studies: Used as a radiolabeled tracer to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of PAHs and related compounds in biological systems.
• Environmental Fate and Degradation Research: Tracks the breakdown pathways, bioaccumulation, and transformation of anthracene and similar pollutants in soil, water, and microbial communities.
• Analytical Method Development: Serves as an internal standard or reference material in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and scintillation counting for enhanced accuracy.
• Organic Electronics and Materials Science: Acts as a labeled precursor in the synthesis and study of organic semiconductors, helping to understand molecular packing, charge transport, and device performance.
• Chemical Reaction Mechanism Studies: Elucidates reaction pathways and intermediates in photochemical, oxidation, and other synthetic processes involving anthracene cores.
