Deuterated Reagents for Pharmaceuticals

Stable Isotope-Labeled Synthetic Intermediates

Deuterated Reagents for Pharmaceutical and Synthetic Applications


  • Deuterated Reagents for Pharmaceutical and Synthetic Applications

Stable Isotope-Labeled Synthetic Intermediates

In recent years, some pharmaceutical companies have begun to investigate deuteration of molecules that may provide advantages over their existing nondeuterated counterparts. In addition, increasing research into the potential medical advantages of new deuterated drugs is also occurring. 

The potential advantages of deuterated pharmaceuticals includes:

Improved metabolic profile. The improved metabolic profile may potentially reduce or eliminate unwanted side effects or undesirable drug interactions.

Improved oral bioavailability. Deuteration in some compounds has reduced the presystemic metabolism that occurs in the digestive track, allowing more of the unmetabolized drug to reach its target.

Increased half-life. Deuterated compounds can have a slower pharmacokinetic effect, extending the absorption and distribution in the body. This may decrease the number of doses a patient may require in a certain time period compared to its nondeuterated counterpart.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What do I do if I need multiple vials or carboys when returning D2O for the D2O Recovery Program?

If you have more than ~16 L you may require multiple carboys, please just ask. 

When returning D2O for the D2O Recovery Program should I fill the carboy to the top?

No! Fill the bulk carboy container ~80% full. Most are shipped by FedEx Air, and if full, the carboy is likely to expand and possibly rupture the container.
