Description

Octanol-N, [1-14C] CAS NO 42415-06-5 is a carbon-14 labeled isotopologue of 1-octanol, a primary fatty alcohol. This radiolabeled compound is essential for conducting precise metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies, enabling researchers to trace the fate of octanol and its derivatives in complex biological and environmental systems. It is a critical tool for scientists in pharmaceutical R&D, agrochemical development, and environmental toxicology who require definitive data on compound absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME).

Application

• Tracer Studies in ADME Research: Used as a radiolabeled tracer to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of octanol and related compounds in preclinical pharmaceutical studies.
• Metabolic Pathway Elucidation: Critical for identifying and quantifying metabolites in biological systems, helping to map out degradation pathways.
• Environmental Fate and Transport Studies: Applied in environmental science to track the biodegradation, bioaccumulation, and movement of alcohol-based compounds in ecosystems.
• Agrochemical Research: Utilized in the development of pesticides and herbicides to study their environmental persistence and metabolic breakdown in plants and soil.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a labeled substrate or intermediate in enzymatic studies and the synthesis of more complex labeled molecules.
• Material Science Investigations: Can be used in studies on the diffusion and partitioning behavior of alcohols in polymers and other materials.
