Metoprolol-d5 is the deuterium labeled Metoprolol, an orally active, selective β1-adrenoceptor antagonist. It exhibits anti-inflammation, antitumor, and anti-angiogenic properties. Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules for quantitation during drug development, with deuteration specifically impacting pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles.
- Can be used as a tracer.
- Can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
