Description

β-Alanine-13C3-15N is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the non-essential amino acid β-alanine, specifically enriched with carbon-13 and nitrogen-15. This compound is essential for advanced research and analytical applications where precise metabolic tracing and quantification are required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the fields of pharmaceutical development, nutritional science, and metabolic studies who require high-purity isotopic standards.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Research: Used as a stable isotope tracer to study the biosynthesis and catabolism of carnosine and other related dipeptides in vivo.
• Quantitative Mass Spectrometry: Serves as an internal standard for the accurate LC-MS/MS quantification of β-alanine in complex biological matrices like plasma, urine, and tissue samples.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies for novel compounds targeting muscle fatigue or neurological functions.
• Nutritional Science: Used in clinical research to investigate the ergogenic effects, bioavailability, and clearance of β-alanine and carnosine supplements.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Acts as a labeled building block for the synthesis of isotopically labeled peptides, derivatives, or more complex biomolecules.
• Diagnostic Assay Development: Utilized in the calibration and validation of diagnostic kits and assays measuring β-alanine levels for metabolic disorder screening.
