| Bioactivity | MES-d13 is the deuterium labeled MES[1]. MES (2-Morpholinoethanesulphonic acid) is a buffering agent in biology and biochemistry. MES is one of the Good's buffers, the buffer capacity ranging pH 5.5-7.0. MES is broadly used to regulate pH value for plants culture medium, reagent solution, and physiological experiments[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]. |
