Ercalcidiol-d3 is the deuterium labeled Ercalcidiol, a metabolite of Vitamins D2. It serves as an indicator of vitamin D status and can be utilized as a tracer and internal standard for quantitative analysis methods such as NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS. Stable heavy isotopes, including hydrogen and carbon, are incorporated into this drug molecule. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
