Description

Dl-Lactic Acid-14C Sodium Salt is a carbon-14 labeled isotopologue of sodium lactate, a key biochemical tracer. This compound is essential for conducting precise metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies, enabling researchers to track the fate of lactic acid in biological systems. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic research institutions, and contract research organizations (CROs) focused on metabolism, biochemistry, and radiopharmaceutical development.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a radiolabeled tracer to study lactic acid metabolism, gluconeogenesis, and the Cori cycle in vitro and in vivo.
• Pharmacokinetic (PK) Studies: Employed in ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) research to quantify the biodistribution and clearance of lactate-related compounds.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or intermediate in enzymatic assays and studies of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity.
• Medical & Diagnostic Research: Potential use in developing imaging agents or probes for conditions related to altered lactate metabolism, such as cancer or ischemia.
• Industrial Fermentation Monitoring: Can be used in specialized research to track and optimize lactate production and consumption in microbial fermentation processes.
