| Bioactivity | Methyl linolenate-13C18 is the 13C labeled Methyl linolenate[1]. Methyl linolenate is a polyunsaturated fattly acid (PUFA). It is used in studies on the mechanisms and prevention of oxidation/peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids[2][3]. The IC50 is 60 uM[4]. |
| 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]. |
