Moxonidine-d₃  (Synonyms: BDF5895-d₃)

Moxonidine-d₃ (BDF5895-d₃) is deuterium labeled Moxonidine (HY-B0374). Moxonidine (BDF5895) is an orally active imidazoline type 1 receptor (I₁-R) agonist. Moxonidine activates imidazoline I₁ receptors and α₂ adrenoceptors, affecting oxidized low-density lipoprotein uptake. Moxonidine reduces atherosclerotic lesions and lowers blood pressure. Moxonidine can be used in the study of hypertension, heart failure, and atherosclerosis^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]}.

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.

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.
