Nitisinone-13C6 is a labeled Nitisinone. It is an herbicidal triketone that inhibits HPPD (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase), an enzyme involved in plastoquinone biosynthesis in plants and in tyrosine catabolism in mammals. By specifically inhibiting HPPD, Nitisinone-13C6 allows for exploration of the shikimate pathway. In metabolic research, Nitisinone-13C6 can be used to track the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of nitisinone in biological systems. In environmental studies, the labeled nitisinone can serve as a tracer to study the environmental fate of chemical compounds. The stability and detectability of ^13C make Nitisinone-^13C6 a valuable marker for investigating how nitisinone and similar compounds degrade in the environment, their potential accumulation in ecosystems, and their effects on non-target organisms.
