Omeprazole-d3 Sulfide (CAS 922730-98-1)

Omeprazole-d3 sulfide is a deuterated analog of omeprazole sulfide, distinguished by the substitution of hydrogen atoms with deuterium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen. This modification enhances its stability and reduces the rate of metabolic degradation, making it particularly valuable in the field of research for its use in mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy studies. The incorporation of deuterium allows for the precise tracking of the compound′s metabolic pathways and interaction mechanisms within complex biological systems, without altering its chemical properties. Omeprazole-d3 sulfide functions as a proton pump inhibitor, effectively inhibiting the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme in gastric parietal cells and subsequently reducing the secretion of gastric acid. Therefore, it serves as a key tool in elucidating the biochemical processes involved in proton pump inhibition. By facilitating a deeper understanding of its mechanism of action, this compound aids in the development of more efficient and selective inhibitors, contributing significantly to the advancement of research in enzymology and molecular pharmacology.
