Aflatoxin M2-¹³C₁₇ 

Aflatoxin M2-¹³C₁₇ is the ¹³C labeled Aflatoxin M2 (HY-N6700)^[1]. Aflatoxin M2 is a major metabolite of Aflatoxin B1. Aflatoxin M2 is a mycotoxin produced by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. The level of toxicity associated with Aflatoxin is Aflatoxin B1>Aflatoxin M1>Aflatoxin G1>Aflatoxin B2>Aflatoxin M2>Aflatoxin G2^[2].

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].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
