Umirolimus -d 5 is the deuterium labeled Umirolimus. Umirolimus, a macrocyclic triene lactone Rapamycin derivative, is powerful immunosuppressant and anti-inflammatory agent. Umirolimus has highly lipophilicity and can be used agent-eluting stent (DES) applications [1].
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.
