Cytidine-5'-triphosphate-13C,d1 (Cytidine triphosphate-13C,d1 dilithium; 5'-CTP-13C,d1) dilithium is a deuterium and 13C-labeled version of Cytidine-5'-triphosphate (HY-125818). Cytidine 5′-triphosphate (Cytidine triphosphate; 5'-CTP) is a nucleoside triphosphate that functions as a building block for nucleotides, nucleic acids, and in lipid biosynthesis. Cytidine triphosphate synthase facilitates the conversion of uridine 5′-triphosphate (UTP) to cytidine 5′-triphosphate. This biomolecule is crucial in the de novo pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway in *T. gondii*.
- 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 are incorporated into drug molecules for quantitation during drug development.
- Deuteration can potentially influence the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
