Octanoic acid-d15

Octanoic acid-d15 is the stable isotope-labeled counterpart of Octanoic acid, with a deuteration level of 98% and a molecular weight of 159.30. Octanoic acid, also known as caprylic acid, is a medium-chain fatty acid naturally found in coconut oil and breast milk, and it participates in energy metabolism in organisms. Octanoic acid-d15 is mainly used in isotope tracer experiments in biomedical research and can serve as an internal standard in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), or liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analyses for quantitative analysis of fatty acid metabolites. In cell and animal model studies, Octanoic acid-d15 can be used to trace fatty acid metabolic pathways, helping researchers understand the metabolic dynamics of fatty acids in vivo. The dose or concentration used in experiments typically depends on the experimental design and research objectives. Due to the stable isotope properties of Octanoic acid-d15, it has important application value in metabolic research.
