Acoltremon -d 3 (WS-12-d 3 ) is the deuterium labeled Acoltremon. Acoltremon is a potent and selective TRPM8 agonist, the menthol derivative, as a cooling agent. Acoltremon shows analgesic effect, and can be used in chronic neuropathic pain research [1] [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.
