Bioactivity | Octadecane-d38 is the deuterium labeled Octadecane[1]. Octadecane is an alkane that is used to store thermal energy at ambient temperature as a phase change material[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]. |
