Retinyl acetate-d₄  (Synonyms: Retinol acetate-d₄; Vitamin A acetate-d₄)

Retinyl acetate-d₄ is the deuterium labeled Retinyl acetate[1]. Retinyl acetate is a synthetic acetate ester form derived from retinol and has potential antineoplastic and chemo preventive activities[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].
