Description

Inulin, 14C-Carboxylated is a radiolabeled derivative of the natural polysaccharide inulin, specifically tagged with a carbon-14 isotope at the carboxyl position. This compound is a critical tool for metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies, enabling precise tracking and quantification of inulin and related carbohydrate pathways in biological systems. It is essential for researchers and formulators in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and nutritional science sectors who require high-purity, isotopically labeled tracers for advanced analytical applications.

Application

• Pharmacokinetic and ADME Studies: Used as a radiolabeled tracer to study the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of inulin and related compounds in preclinical research.
• Renal Function and Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Marker: Serves as a standard tool in physiological research for measuring GFR and studying kidney function.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Enables the detailed mapping of carbohydrate metabolism and fermentation processes in microbiological and nutritional studies.
• Bioconjugation and Probe Development: Acts as a starting material for synthesizing radiolabeled probes for receptor binding assays and diagnostic imaging research.
• Quality Control Reference Standard: Utilized as an internal standard in analytical methods like HPLC and LC-MS for the quantification of inulin in complex matrices.
• Dietary Fiber Research: Employed in studies investigating the prebiotic effects, fermentation, and colonic metabolism of dietary fibers.
