Description

D-Lyxose-1-C-D CAS NO 288846-88-8 is a specialized, isotopically labeled carbohydrate derivative, specifically a carbon-13 labeled form of D-lyxose. This compound is of significant value in research and development due to its utility as a stable isotope tracer. It is primarily sought after by scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and life science sectors for advanced metabolic studies, analytical method development, and the synthesis of labeled complex molecules.

Application

• Stable Isotope Tracer in Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Used in in vitro and in vivo studies to track the incorporation and fate of sugars in biological systems.
• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a quantitative reference standard in LC-MS and GC-MS assays for accurate measurement of lyxose and related metabolites.
• Precursor in Labeled Compound Synthesis: A key building block for the synthesis of more complex carbon-13 labeled pharmaceuticals, glycoconjugates, or probes.
• NMR Spectroscopy Studies: Facilitates structural elucidation and dynamic studies of carbohydrates and their interactions due to the distinct 13C signal.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in enzymatic studies to investigate substrate specificity and mechanisms of carbohydrate-processing enzymes.
