Gramine-d 2 is the deuterium labeled Gramine [1]. Gramine (Donaxine) is a natural alkaloid isolated from giant reed [2], acts as an active adiponectin receptor (AdipoR) agonist, with IC50 s of 3.2 and 4.2 μM for AdipoR2 and AdipoR1, respectively [2]. Gramine is also a human and mouse β2-Adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) agonist [3]. Gramine (Donaxine) has anti-tumor, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties [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[1].
