Betahistine-d₃ dihydrochloride 

Betahistine-d₃ (dihydrochloride) is the deuterium labeled Betahistine dihydrochloride. Betahistine dihydrochloride is an orally active histamine H1 receptor agonist and a H3 receptor antagonist[1]. Betahistine dihydrochloride is used for the study of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)[3].

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].
