Hexacosanoic acid-d4 is the deuterium labeled Hexacosanoic acid. It is the deuterium labeled Hexacosanoic acid (HY-113301). Hexacosanoic acid is a very long-chain fatty acid. Abnormally elevated levels of Hexacosanoic acid are closely associated with various diseases, such as X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, adrenomyeloneuropathy, atherosclerosis, and dementia.
- Can be used as a tracer.
- Can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
- Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process.
- Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
