2-Amino-6-methyldipyrido imidazole-13C2,15N Hydrochloride (CAS 71683-78-8)

2-Amino-6-methyldipyrido imidazole-13C2,15N Hydrochloride Hydrate is a complex organic molecule with some of its atoms labeled with stable isotopes. The core structure of the molecule is a heterocyclic compound known as dipyridoimidazole, which is built on two pyridine rings and an imidazole ring. This structure is further modified with an amino group at the 2-position and a methyl group at the 6-position. The notation "^13C2,^15N" indicates that two of the carbon atoms in the molecule have been replaced with the stable isotope ^13C, and one of the nitrogen atoms has been replaced with ^15N. Stable isotopes are non-radioactive forms of elements that have the same chemical properties as the standard form but differ in atomic mass. They are often used in research to "label" molecules for tracking or identification purposes. The term "Hydrochloride Hydrate" indicates that this compound is a hydrochloride salt that also contains water of hydration. Therefore, each molecule of the compound is associated with one or more water molecules. In terms of physical properties, 2-Amino-6-methyldipyrido imidazole-13C2,15N Hydrochloride Hydrate is usually found as a white or off-white powder. This compound is used in scientific research, specifically in the field of chemistry and biochemistry, due to its isotopically labeled structure.
