Description

Ethyl Cyanoacetate, [Cyano-14C] CAS NO 38713-06-3 is a carbon-14 labeled derivative of ethyl cyanoacetate, a key synthetic intermediate. This radiolabeled compound is essential for conducting precise metabolic, pharmacokinetic, and environmental fate studies, providing critical data for regulatory submissions and scientific research. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, agrochemical companies, and academic institutions engaged in tracer studies and advanced organic synthesis.

Application

• Tracer Studies in Pharmaceutical R&D: Used to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of new drug candidates and their metabolites.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed to study the environmental fate, degradation pathways, and bioaccumulation of pesticides and herbicides.
• Metabolic Pathway Elucidation: A vital tool in biochemistry for tracing specific carbon atoms through complex biosynthetic or catabolic pathways.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a radiolabeled building block for the synthesis of more complex 14C-labeled compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and amino acids.
• Quality Control & Reference Standard: Can be utilized as an internal standard in analytical methods like LC-MS for quantitative analysis.
