Fomepizole-d2
Fomepizole-d2 (4-Methylpyrazole-d2) is the deuterium labeled Fomepizole (HY-B0876). Fomepizole (4-Methylpyrazole) is a potent cytochrome P450 (CYP2E1) inhibitor. Fomepizole is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. Fomepizole blocks further conversion of methanol and ethylene glycol to toxic metabolites. Fomepizole has the potential for an antidote for ethylene glycol or methanol poisoning.

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