Description

Indole (15N, 98%+) is a stable isotope-labeled derivative of the fundamental heterocyclic aromatic compound indole, where the nitrogen atom is enriched with the 15N isotope. This high isotopic purity is critical for advanced research applications requiring precise molecular tracking and analysis. It is an essential material for scientists in pharmaceutical development, metabolic research, and analytical chemistry who require reliable, high-fidelity labeled compounds for their studies.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Used as an internal standard or reference compound in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) studies for structural elucidation and quantitative analysis.
• Mass Spectrometry: Serves as a labeled standard in LC-MS and GC-MS workflows for the accurate quantification of indole and related metabolites in complex biological matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in isotopic labeling experiments to investigate the biosynthesis and metabolic fate of indole and its derivatives in biological systems.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Utilized in the development and validation of analytical methods for drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) containing the indole scaffold.
• Biochemical Studies: Applied in research on tryptophan metabolism, gut microbiota-host interactions, and signaling molecules.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex 15N-labeled compounds for research purposes.
