DL-Alanine-d3 is the deuterium labeled DL-Alanine. It is a racemic compound of L- and D-alanine, used as a reducing and capping agent with silver nitrate aqueous solutions for nanoparticle production. It can also be utilized for researching transition metal chelation, such as Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II). DL-alanine functions as a sweetener, classified with glycine and sodium saccharin, and plays a key role in the glucose-alanine cycle between tissues and the liver.
- Can be used as a tracer.
- Can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
- Deuteration may impact the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
