2,4-D-13C6 is the 13C-labeled version of 2,4-D (HY-18572). 2,4-D (2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) is a selective systemic herbicide used for controlling broad-leaved weeds. It functions as a plant hormone, inducing uncontrolled growth in meristematic tissues and inhibiting DNA and protein synthesis, thereby preventing normal plant growth and development.
- Can be used as a tracer.
- Can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
- Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, primarily as tracers for quantitation during drug development.
