Ondansetron-d3 (hydrochloride) is a deuterium-labeled form of Ondansetron hydrochloride. Ondansetron hydrochloride (GR 38032 hydrochloride) acts as a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, primarily used as an antiemetic to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting, often experienced after chemotherapy. Stable heavy isotopes, such as deuterium, are incorporated into drug molecules largely for tracer purposes during drug development and have the potential to influence the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
- Used as a tracer.
- Used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
