Salicylic acid-13C6 is the 13C-labeled Salicylic acid . Salicylic acid is a precursor to and a metabolite of Aspirin , can inhibit cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity[1][2].
Stable heavy isotopes of drogen, 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].
