Description

Lignoceric Acid-D4 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of the saturated very-long-chain fatty acid, lignoceric acid. This deuterated compound is an essential tool for quantitative mass spectrometry, enabling precise tracking and measurement in complex biological and chemical matrices. It is primarily utilized by researchers and analytical laboratories in the fields of lipidomics, metabolic studies, and pharmaceutical development. The product ensures high isotopic purity and chemical stability for reliable internal standard applications.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Serves as a critical quantitative reference in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses of fatty acids and complex lipids.
• Lipidomics and Metabolomics Research: Used to investigate lipid metabolism, biomarker discovery, and metabolic pathways involving very-long-chain fatty acids.
• Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK): Facilitates the study of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) for compounds affecting lipid pathways.
• Biochemical Tracing: Enables precise tracing and quantification of lignoceric acid flux in in vitro and in vivo systems.
• Quality Control in Diagnostic Assays: Employed in the development and validation of clinical diagnostic tests for disorders like adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD).
• Stable Isotope Labeling in Synthesis: Used as a labeled building block in the synthesis of more complex deuterated molecules for research.
