Metaxalone-d6
Metaxalone-d6 is deuterium labeled Metaxalone. Metaxalone (AHR438; NSC170959) is an FDA-approved muscle relaxant. Metaxalone acts mainly on the central nervous system and achieves muscle relaxation by inhibiting polysynaptic reflex arcs. In addition, Metaxalone is an inhibitor of MAO-A, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Metaxalone inhibits IL-1β-induced inflammatory phenotype, modulates NF-κB and other related signaling pathways, and decreases MAO-A expression and activity in IL-1β-treated microglia.

Biological Activity
PPARγ and MAO-A[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.
1. This compound can be used as a tracer
2. This compound can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
