Theophylline-13C2d6 (CAS 1782458-84-7)

Theophylline-13C2d6 is a specially labeled version of theophylline, where two carbon atoms have been replaced with the ^13C isotope of carbon, and six hydrogen atoms have been replaced with deuterium (d6). The replacement of specific atoms with their isotopes makes this compound ideal for use in mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The unique mass and magnetic properties of ^13C and deuterium allow for the clear differentiation of the labeled compound from its unlabeled counterpart, facilitating accurate quantification and structural analysis. Theophylline-13C2d6 can be used as an internal standard in kinetic studies to track the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of theophylline. In biochemical research, the use of isotopically labeled compounds like Theophylline-13C2d6 can aid in studying chemical-receptor interactions, the mechanism of action at the molecular level, and the effects of theophylline on various biochemical pathways.
