Description

o-Cresol-Ring-Ul-14C is a carbon-14 radiolabeled isotopologue of ortho-cresol, a key chemical intermediate. This compound is essential for advanced research and development, particularly in metabolic and environmental fate studies where precise tracking of the phenolic ring is required. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental research organizations for applications such as tracer studies, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK), and residue analysis.

Application

• Tracer Studies in Metabolism Research: Used to elucidate the metabolic pathways and biotransformation of o-cresol and related compounds in biological systems.
• Drug Development (DMPK): A critical tool in pharmaceutical R&D for studying the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of candidate drug molecules containing a cresol moiety.
• Environmental Fate and Degradation Studies: Employed to track the breakdown, persistence, and movement of cresols and phenolic pollutants in soil and water systems.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development and testing of pesticides and herbicides to study their environmental impact and metabolic behavior in plants and pests.
• Chemical Synthesis Pathway Analysis: Serves as a labeled starting material or intermediate to trace reaction mechanisms and synthetic pathways in organic chemistry.
• Quality Control and Reference Standard: Can be used as an internal standard or reference material in advanced analytical methods like LC-MS for accurate quantification.
