Description

Ferulic Acid-1,2,3-13C3 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of ferulic acid, where three carbon atoms at positions 1, 2, and 3 are replaced with the carbon-13 (13C) isotope. This high-purity labeled compound is essential as an internal standard for accurate quantification and metabolic pathway tracing in advanced analytical applications. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and analytical laboratories engaged in mass spectrometry-based studies, including pharmacokinetics, metabolomics, and biomarker discovery.

Application

• Quantitative Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a critical internal standard for the precise and accurate quantification of endogenous ferulic acid and its metabolites in complex biological matrices like plasma, urine, and tissue samples.
• Metabolic Flux Analysis: Used to trace and elucidate metabolic pathways and conversion rates in plant biochemistry, microbial fermentation, and mammalian cell culture studies.
• Pharmacokinetic & Drug Metabolism Studies: Enables reliable measurement of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profiles for ferulic acid and related nutraceutical or pharmaceutical compounds.
• Stable Isotope Dilution Assays (SIDA): Provides the foundation for highly accurate assays in food analysis, clinical diagnostics, and environmental testing to determine ferulic acid content.
• Biomarker Discovery & Validation: Facilitates the identification and validation of ferulic acid or its derivatives as potential disease biomarkers in clinical research.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Essential for developing and validating robust analytical methods (e.g., LC-MS/MS, GC-MS) in regulatory and quality control laboratories.
