rac Metoprolol-d7 (CAS 51384-51-1 (unlabeled))

Rac Metoprolol-d7, a deuterated variant of the conventional beta-blocker metoprolol, is distinguished by the substitution of seven hydrogen atoms with deuterium. This isotopic modification significantly alters the molecule′s physical and chemical properties without changing its molecular structure, offering a unique tool for research. The presence of deuterium atoms can slow down metabolic degradation processes, providing clearer insights into the pathways and mechanisms by which the parent compound, metoprolol, interacts within biological systems. This makes Rac Metoprolol-d7 an invaluable tracer or internal standard in mass spectrometry and other analytical techniques, facilitating the precise quantification and analysis of metoprolol and its metabolites in complex biological matrices. By enabling researchers to dissect the intricate dynamics of metabolism and distribution, Rac Metoprolol-d7 contributes to a deeper understanding of how similar compounds behave in various experimental applications.
