Ivermectin B1a -d 2 -1 is the deuterium labeled Ivermectin B1a. Ivermectin B1a, a derivative of Avermectin B1a, is a main component of Ivermectin [1]. Ivermectin (MK-933) is a broad-spectrum anti-parasite agent. Ivermectin is a candidate therapeutic against SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 [2].
In Vitro, Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
