OCTANOIC-8,8,8-D3 ACID

Description:
Octanoic-8,8,8-D3 acid, also known as deuterated octanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid characterized by an eight-carbon chain with a carboxylic acid functional group at one end. The "D3" designation indicates that three hydrogen atoms in the molecule are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, which is often used in research to trace metabolic pathways or in NMR spectroscopy for structural analysis. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. Its deuterated form is particularly valuable in studies involving lipid metabolism, as it allows for the tracking of fatty acid metabolism in biological systems. Octanoic acid itself is known for its role in various biological processes and is found in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. The presence of deuterium enhances the compound's utility in scientific research, particularly in the fields of biochemistry and pharmacology, where precise tracking of molecular interactions is essential.
