D-Mannitol-13C is a 13C labeled form of D-Mannitol, an oral, resistant sugar with broad applications in food and pharmaceutical industries. It aids in calcium and magnesium absorption, acts as an osmotic diuretic to reduce tissue edema, and may enhance brown fat formation, improve insulin effect, and lower blood sugar. Additionally, it helps maintain osmotic pressure in plant cells and protects them when cell walls are compromised.
- 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
- Deuteration can affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs
