Description

Lauric Acid, [1-14C] is a carbon-14 radiolabeled isotopologue of lauric acid, a saturated medium-chain fatty acid. This compound is essential for advanced metabolic and pharmacokinetic research, providing a precise tracer for tracking biochemical pathways. It is primarily utilized by researchers and scientists in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agrochemical industries for drug development, lipid metabolism studies, and environmental fate analysis.

Application

• Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) Studies: Used as a radiolabeled tracer to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of new chemical entities and lipid-based formulations.
• Biochemical Pathway Analysis: Enables detailed tracing of β-oxidation and other metabolic routes of medium-chain fatty acids in vivo and in vitro.
• Nutritional Science Research: Applied in studies examining the metabolism of dietary fats, including medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs).
• Agrochemical Research: Serves as a tool for studying the environmental degradation and plant uptake of fatty acid-based compounds.
• Synthesis of Labeled Compounds: Acts as a key radiolabeled building block for the synthesis of more complex tagged molecules for research.
• Quality Control Reference Standard: Can be used as an internal standard in advanced analytical methods like LC-MS for quantification.
