Nonanoic acid-d4, also known as Pelargonic acid-d4, is a deuterium-labeled version of Nonanoic acid. Nonanoic acid is a naturally occurring saturated fatty acid composed of nine carbon atoms. This compound is known to significantly decrease bacterial translocation, boost antibacterial activity, and notably increase the production of porcine β-defensins 1 (pBD-1) and pBD-2.
- Stable isotope-labeled compound.
- Can be utilized as a tracer in various research applications.
- Serves as an internal standard for quantitative analysis using techniques such as NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
- Valuable for pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies due to the potential of deuteration to influence drug profiles.
- Significantly reduces bacterial translocation.
- Enhances antibacterial activity.
- Remarkably increases the secretion of porcine β-defensins 1 (pBD-1) and pBD-2.
