Description

Decanoic-2,2-D2 Acid is a deuterium-labeled analog of capric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid. This stable isotope-labeled compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracking is required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and life science sectors for use as an internal standard in mass spectrometry, metabolic pathway studies, and the synthesis of labeled complex molecules.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Provides high-accuracy quantification in GC-MS and LC-MS analysis of fatty acids and related metabolites.
• Metabolic Research & Tracer Studies: Used to investigate lipid metabolism, β-oxidation pathways, and energy utilization in biological systems.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of deuterated drug candidates for improved pharmacokinetic studies.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Acts as a useful probe in nuclear magnetic resonance studies due to the distinct properties of the deuterium label.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed in organic synthesis to introduce deuterium atoms into more complex molecules for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
• Nutritional Science Research: Facilitates the study of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) absorption and metabolism.
