Ribitol-2-¹³C  (Synonyms: Adonitol-2-¹³C; Adonite-2-¹³C)

Ribitol-2-¹³C is the ¹³C labeled Ribitol. Ribitol is a crystalline pentose alcohol formed by the reduction of ribose. Enhancing the flux of D-glucose to the pentose phosphate pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the production of D-ribose and ribitol

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^[1].

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