Bioactivity | Dihomo-γ-linolenic acid-d6 is the deuterium labeled Dihomo-γ-linolenic acid. Dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (all-cis-8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic acid) is a 20-carbon ω-6 fatty acid, with anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activities. Dihomo-γ-linolenic acid attenuates atherosclerosis in the apolipoprotein E deficient mouse model system[1][2][3]. |
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]. |
