Description

Indole-3-Acetic Acid-Carboxy-14C is a carbon-14 radiolabeled derivative of the essential plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). This labeled compound is critical for advanced metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies, enabling precise tracking of auxin pathways and chemical fate in complex biological systems. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, agrochemical developers, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in plant biology, environmental science, and tracer methodology research.

Application

• Plant Hormone Research: As a tracer for studying the biosynthesis, transport, metabolism, and degradation pathways of auxins in plants.
• Agrochemical Development: To investigate the environmental fate, metabolic breakdown, and residue analysis of synthetic auxin-like herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used in biochemical research to elucidate specific metabolic routes and intermediate compounds in both plant and microbial systems.
• Pharmaceutical Tracer Studies: For investigating the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profiles of indole-based pharmaceutical compounds.
• Environmental Science: Tracing the biodegradation and persistence of indole compounds in soil and water ecosystems.
• Enzyme Mechanism Studies: Probing the action and specificity of enzymes involved in auxin metabolism, such as oxidases and conjugating enzymes.
