Tetradecanoic-12-d acid, also known as myristic acid-d12, is a deuterated form of myristic acid, a saturated fatty acid with a 14-carbon chain. The "d12" designation indicates that twelve hydrogen atoms in the molecule have been replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This modification is often used in research and analytical applications, particularly in studies involving metabolic pathways and tracer studies due to the distinct mass difference that deuterium provides. Tetradecanoic acid itself is a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is commonly found in various natural fats and oils, particularly in nutmeg and palm kernel oil. The presence of the deuterium label allows for enhanced tracking and analysis in mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Overall, tetradecanoic-12-d acid serves as a valuable tool in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving lipid metabolism and fatty acid dynamics.
