Description

D-Arabinose-2-D is a stable isotope-labeled derivative of the pentose sugar D-arabinose, specifically deuterated at the C-2 position. This compound is a crucial analytical standard and biochemical tool for metabolic pathway tracing and quantitative mass spectrometry. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in carbohydrate metabolism studies, drug development, and advanced diagnostic research.

Application

• Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA): Used as a stable isotope tracer to study the pentose phosphate pathway and other carbohydrate metabolic networks in cell cultures and biological systems.
• Mass Spectrometry Standards: Serves as an internal standard for the accurate quantification of endogenous D-arabinose and related metabolites via LC-MS/MS and GC-MS, improving analytical precision.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in the development and testing of drugs targeting metabolic disorders, glycosylation processes, or bacterial cell wall biosynthesis (e.g., in mycobacteria).
• Biochemical Research: A key reagent for enzymology studies, investigating the kinetics and mechanisms of arabinose-processing enzymes like isomerases and kinases.
• Nutritional Science: Applied in research on rare sugar metabolism and its potential effects on gut microbiota and human health.
• Diagnostic Development: Used in creating calibrated assays for detecting inborn errors of metabolism or specific disease biomarkers related to sugar metabolism.
