| Bioactivity | Vitamin D3-13C5 is the deuterium labeled Vitamin D3 (HY-15398). Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) is a naturally occuring form of vitamin D. Vitamin D3 induces cell differentiation and prevents proliferation of cancer cells[1][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]. |
