trans-Hydroxy praziquantel-d5 (CAS 134924-71-3 unlabeled)

Trans-Hydroxy praziquantel-d5 is a deuterium-labeled analogue of the active metabolite of praziquantel, which is used as a standard in analytical studies, such as mass spectrometry, to improve the detection and quantification of the parent compound in complex biological matrices. Its incorporation of deuterium atoms at specific positions allows it to act as an ideal internal standard due to the minimal impact on the physicochemical properties compared to the non-labeled substance. In environmental science research, trans-Hydroxy praziquantel-d5 assists in tracking the environmental fate and transport of praziquantel through ecosystems. It is also pivotal in studies to investigate the metabolic pathways and elucidate the biotransformation processes that the parent chemical undergoes. Furthermore, this labeled compound aids in the development of sensitive and accurate assays for monitoring the presence and concentration of praziquantel in wildlife and environmental samples, enhancing our understanding of its distribution and potential impact.
