Product Information
Gemfibrozil is a lipid-lowering drug that belongs to the class of fibrates. It is used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and other conditions. Gemfibrozil-d6 is a radioactive isotope of gemfibrozil that can be used as an analytical tool for studying the metabolism of gemfibrozil in humans and other species. The use of this compound has been shown to decrease environmental toxicity by reducing the concentration of preservatives such as ethoxyquin, which are used in some pesticides. Gemfibrozil-d6 has also been shown to have a significant effect on marine ecosystems, including the reduction of metabolites such as hormones and tissues. This compound may also act as an inhibitor for certain enzymes, such as plant metabolism.
