D-Glucose-d12-1 is a deuterium-labeled D-Glucose. It is a monosaccharide, a crucial carbohydrate in biology, a carbohydrate sweetener, and a vital component of general metabolism. It also serves as a critical signaling molecule related to cellular metabolic status and biotic and abiotic stress responses.
- Can be used as a tracer.
- Functions as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
- Incorporates stable heavy isotopes into drug molecules for quantitation during drug development.
- Deuteration can potentially affect pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
