Description

Heptanoic Acid, Sodium Salt, [1-14C] is a carbon-14 labeled derivative of sodium heptanoate, a critical tool for metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies. This radiolabeled compound provides a precise tracer for tracking the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of heptanoate and related compounds in biological systems. It is essential for researchers and scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and biochemical industries who require high-specific-activity materials for advanced analytical applications.

Application

• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used as a radiotracer in ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) studies to elucidate the metabolic fate of heptanoic acid and its derivatives.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Critical for drug development, enabling the study of the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of potential therapeutic agents containing the heptanoate moiety.
• Biochemical Mechanism Studies: Facilitates research into fatty acid metabolism, β-oxidation pathways, and the role of medium-chain fatty acids in cellular processes.
• Agrochemical Development: Employed in environmental fate studies to track the degradation and movement of agrochemicals derived from or containing heptanoic acid structures.
• Analytical Method Development: Serves as an internal standard or reference material in advanced analytical techniques like Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) for quantitative analysis.
• Nutritional Science Research: Used to investigate the metabolism and utilization of dietary medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and their components.
