Description

D-[1-13C]Gulose is a stable isotope-labeled monosaccharide, specifically a carbon-13 labeled form of the rare sugar D-gulose. This compound is essential as a high-purity biochemical tracer and internal standard for advanced research in metabolic pathway analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic research institutions, and specialized diagnostic developers working in the fields of carbohydrate metabolism, glycobiology, and stable isotope probing.

Application

• Metabolic Tracer Studies: Used to trace and quantify the metabolic flux of sugars in complex biological systems using NMR or Mass Spectrometry (MS).
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical internal standard for the accurate quantification of D-gulose and related metabolites in research samples.
• Glycobiology & Glycomics: Employed in the study of rare sugar metabolism and the biosynthesis of complex carbohydrates and glycoconjugates.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to investigate the fate of carbohydrate-based drug candidates.
• Diagnostic Agent Development: Acts as a potential component in the development of advanced diagnostic probes for metabolic disorders.
