4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol-d5 (CAS 1794885-45-2)

4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol-d5 is a deuterated version of 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol. 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol is a nitrosamine of interest due to its presence in tobacco products and its potential biological effects. As a metabolite of nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone, 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol has been the subject of extensive research in the context of tobacco exposure and its associated risks. The deuterated variant, 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol-d5, is particularly useful for scientific studies, especially in the fields of analytical chemistry, toxicology, and kinetics. The substitution with deuterium atoms allows for a distinct mass that facilitates the precise and accurate measurement of 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol in biological samples using mass spectrometry techniques. This is for studies aiming to assess exposure to tobacco-specific nitrosamines and understand their metabolic pathways.
