3b-Hydroxy-5-cholenoic acid -d4 is deuterium labeled 3b-Hydroxy-5-cholenoic acid. 3b-Hydroxy-5-cholenoic acid is a monohydroxy bile acid of endogenous origin [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[2].
