Teduglutide -Leu( 13 C 6, 15 N) (ALX-0600-Leu( 13 C 6, 15 N)) sodium is the 13 C- and 15 N-labeled Teduglutide. Teduglutide (ALX-0600) is an analog of human glucagon like peptide-2 (GLP-2). Teduglutide can activate the expression of nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group a member 1 (NR4a1)/nur77 and intestinal FXR signaling in human hepatic stellate cells, thereby improving liver inflammation and fibrosis in mice with sclerosing cholangitis. Teduglutide can alleviate intestinal dysfunction in mice, improve lung injury, alleviate obesity related neuroinflammation and cell apoptosis [1] [2] [3] [4].
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.
