Bioactivity | Metolachlor-d6 is the deuterium labeled Metolachlor[1]. Metolachlor is a pre-emergent selective, chloroacetanilide herbicide for the control of a variety of annual grass and broad leaf weeds in corn and other crops. Metolachlor is a chiral herbicide consisting of four stereoisomers[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]. |
