Deuterated API

Deuterated API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) refers to a compound obtained by replacing certain hydrogen atoms (H) in a drug molecule with deuterium atoms (D). Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen, with an additional neutron in its nucleus, resulting in higher bond energy. This subtle structural change can significantly impact the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of a drug. Moreover, deuterated active substances possess nearly identical chemical and physical properties to the original drug molecules, making them suitable as internal standards for quantitative analysis. They play a significant role in drug development and metabolism. CD Bioparticles can provide a wide range of high-quality deuterated products that are in high demand on the market.
