Description

Hexanoic-4,4,5,5,6,6,6-D7 Acid CAS NO 1276197-47-7 is a high-purity, deuterium-labeled derivative of caproic acid, where seven hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, offering exceptional isotopic purity for advanced research and analytical applications. This compound serves as a critical internal standard and tracer in quantitative mass spectrometry, enabling precise measurement and metabolic pathway analysis. It is essential for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental science sectors who require uncompromised accuracy in their analytical methodologies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a deuterated internal standard for the accurate quantification of hexanoic acid and related metabolites in complex biological matrices via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies to trace the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of compounds in biological systems.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Aids in the identification and quantification of process-related impurities and degradation products during drug development and manufacturing.
• Environmental Analysis: Facilitates the detection and measurement of short-chain fatty acids in environmental samples with high specificity and reduced background interference.
• Nutritional and Microbiome Research: Used in studies investigating gut microbiota and the production of short-chain fatty acids, providing precise data for nutritional science.
• Synthetic Intermediate: Serves as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterated compounds for research purposes.
