Description

D-Erythrose-4-13C (As A Solution In Water) is a stable isotope-labeled derivative of the four-carbon sugar erythrose, specifically enriched with carbon-13 at the C-4 position and supplied as an aqueous solution for convenience and stability. This compound serves as a critical tracer and building block in metabolic pathway analysis and the synthesis of isotopically labeled carbohydrates, nucleotides, and other complex biomolecules. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry who require precise tools for mass spectrometry-based studies, metabolic flux analysis, and the production of labeled compounds.

Application

• Metabolic Research & Flux Analysis: Used as a 13C-labeled tracer to map and quantify metabolic pathways in biological systems, providing insights into cellular function and disease mechanisms.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as a key intermediate in the synthesis of isotopically labeled active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and reference standards for pharmacokinetic and bioanalytical studies.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for the preparation of other 13C-labeled sugars, nucleotides, and glycoconjugates used in advanced research.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed as an internal standard in Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to ensure accurate quantification and method validation.
• Nutritional Science: Utilized in studies investigating carbohydrate metabolism and energy utilization in nutritional and physiological research.
