Butyl-d9 Paraben (CAS 1216904-65-2)

Butyl-d9 paraben is a deuterated analog of butyl paraben, a commonly used preservative in various consumer products, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food. The "d9" designation indicates the substitution of nine hydrogen atoms within the butyl paraben molecule with deuterium isotopes. This isotopic labeling enhances the compound′s stability and allows for precise tracking and quantification in analytical studies. Researchers employ butyl-d9 paraben as a tracer compound in environmental and biological monitoring studies to investigate its fate and behavior in ecosystems, wastewater treatment plants, and biological systems. By tracing the distribution, metabolism, and degradation pathways of butyl-d9 paraben, scientists gain insights into its environmental persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and ecological impacts. Moreover, butyl-d9 paraben serves as a valuable tool in pharmacokinetic studies, facilitating the assessment of its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion profiles in laboratory experiments. Through its application in research, butyl-d9 paraben contributes to a deeper understanding of paraben compounds′ environmental fate, human exposure routes, and potential health risks, informing regulatory decisions and guiding the development of safer alternatives in product formulations.
