Description

Dodecanoic-2,2-D2 Acid is a deuterium-labeled isotopologue of lauric acid, a saturated medium-chain fatty acid. This compound is a critical tool in research and development, enabling precise metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies through advanced analytical techniques like mass spectrometry and NMR. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require high-purity, isotopically labeled standards for tracer studies, internal standards, and mechanistic investigations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard in LC-MS and GC-MS for the quantitative bioanalysis of lauric acid and its derivatives in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) studies.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Serves as a tracer to elucidate lipid metabolism, β-oxidation pathways, and energy utilization in nutritional and biochemical research.
• Agrochemical Development: Employed in the synthesis and analysis of deuterated analogs of pesticidal or herbicidal compounds for environmental fate and metabolism studies.
• Material Science: Acts as a precursor or modifying agent in the synthesis of deuterated polymers, surfactants, or liquid crystals, where isotopic labeling alters physical properties for specialized applications.
• Analytical Chemistry: Provides a critical reference standard for method development and validation in spectroscopy and chromatography to ensure accuracy and reproducibility.
