cis-Vaccenic acid-d₁₃ 

cis-Vaccenic acid-d₁₃ is the deuterium labeled cis-Vaccenic acid. cis-Vaccenic acid, the antiviral extract from Rhodopseudomonas capsulate and the predominant active component of Rhodopseudomonas capsulate[1], acts a potential fetal hemoglobin inducer[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].
