Stable labels (mainly 13C and Deuterium) are widely used in the Pharmaceutical Industry primarily for use in DMPK studies. However, in recent years the industry has been investigating the advantages of deuterium in drug molecules with compounds now FDA approved, for example Deutetrabenazine and Deucravacitinib. There are many more in late stage development.
The potential advantages of deuterated compounds are:
In the Agrochemical Industry, stable isotopes like 13C and 15N are used for tracing agrochemical fate, tracking the compounds’ persistence and environmental impact as well as being used in mechanistic and kinetic experiments.
At Key Organics, as well as having a collection of over 10,000 stable labelled building blocks, we have extensive experience in providing stable labels on a custom synthesis basis to our clients.
Stable labelled intermediates also have a variety of applications beyond the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries.
Here are some key benefits:
These applications highlight the versatility and importance of stable labelled intermediates in advancing scientific research and technology across multiple fields.
