Description

Phenanthrene-9-14C is a carbon-14 labeled isotopologue of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon phenanthrene, specifically radiolabeled at the 9-position. This compound is a critical tool for researchers requiring precise tracking of phenanthrene and its derivatives in complex systems. It is essential for scientists in the pharmaceutical, environmental, and chemical research sectors who need to conduct metabolic studies, environmental fate and transport analysis, or detailed mechanistic investigations.

Application

• Tracer Studies in Environmental Science: Used to study the biodegradation, bioaccumulation, and environmental fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil, water, and sediment.
• Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK): Serves as a radiolabeled tracer for investigating the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of phenanthrene-based compounds or related PAHs in preclinical research.
• Biochemical Pathway Analysis: Enables the elucidation of metabolic pathways and the identification of metabolites in biological systems.
• Analytical Method Development: Acts as an internal standard or reference material in the development and validation of sensitive analytical methods like LC-MS or scintillation counting for PAH detection.
• Chemical Reaction Mechanism Studies: Utilized to track specific atoms through chemical synthesis or transformation processes, providing insights into reaction mechanisms.
