| Bioactivity | Ethyl maltol-d5 is the deuterium labeled Ethyl maltol. Ethyl maltol (2-Ethyl-3-hydroxy-4H-pyran-4-one), an odor-active (OA) compound, is an important food additive and the main component of a type of incense added to food[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]. |
