2,4-D-13C6 is the 13C-labeled version of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, a selective systemic herbicide. It controls broad-leaved weeds by functioning as a plant hormone, inducing uncontrolled growth in meristematic tissues, and inhibiting DNA and protein synthesis. Stable heavy isotopes, such as carbon-13, are incorporated into the molecule for use as tracers in quantitative analysis during drug development.
- Can be used as a tracer.
- Can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
- Selective systemic herbicide.
- Acts as a plant hormone.
