Bioactivity | Methoprene-d7 is the deuterium labeled Methoprene[1]. Methoprene, an insect juvenile growth hormone mimic, is a growth-regulating insecticide that manifests its toxicity to target organisms by acting as a juvenile hormone agonist[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]. |
