D-Psicose-d is a deuterium-labeled form of D-Psicose, which is an orally active rare sugar. D-psicose has been shown to inhibit p38-MAPK phosphorylation and MCP-1 expression, as well as the AGEs/RAGE/NF-κB pathway. It also protects pancreatic β-islets and improves hyperglycemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease induced by a high-fat diet. This compound can be utilized as a tracer or an internal standard for quantitative analysis methods such as NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS. Deuteration, the incorporation of stable heavy isotopes into drug molecules, is used for quantitation during drug development and has the potential to influence the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
