Adenine-d is a deuterium-labeled form of Adenine (6-Aminopurine), a fundamental purine nucleobase found in DNA and RNA. It is crucial for biochemistry, participating in cellular respiration by forming ATP and cofactors like NAD and FAD, and is involved in protein synthesis. This compound is valuable as a tracer and an internal standard for quantitative analysis, leveraging the unique properties of stable heavy isotopes like deuterium, which can influence the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
- Can be used as a tracer
- Can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS
