Abemaciclib metabolite M18-d 8 is the deuterium labeled Abemaciclib metabolite M18. Abemaciclib metabolite M18 (LSN3106729), the metabolite of Abemaciclib, is a CDK inhibitor with antitumor activity. Abemaciclib metabolite M18 and a CRBN ligand have been used to design PROTAC CDK4/6 degrader [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[1].
