| Bioactivity | Didesethyl chloroquine-d4 is the deuterium labeled Didesethyl chloroquine. Didesethyl chloroquine (Bisdesethylchloroquine) is a major metabolite of the antimalarial drug Chloroquine. Didesethyl chloroquine is a potent myocardial depressant[1][2]. |
| Invitro | 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[1]. |
