Nonanoic acid-d4 is the deuterium labeled Nonanoic acid, a naturally-occurring saturated fatty acid with nine carbon atoms. It significantly reduces bacterial translocation, enhances antibacterial activity, and remarkably increases the secretion of porcine β-defensins 1 (pBD-1) and pBD-2. This compound can be used as a tracer and as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
