Trimebutine-d₃ hydrochloride 

Trimebutine-d₃ hydrochloride is deuterium labeled Trimebutine hydrochloride. Trimebutine hydrochloride is a multi-target inhibitor and opioid receptor agonist with antimuscarinic activity. Trimebutine hydrochloride inhibits L-type Ca²⁺ channels and large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BK_Ca channels), thereby inhibiting extracellular calcium influx and potassium ion efflux. Trimebutine hydrochloride also targets Toll-like receptors, inhibits Toll-like receptor 2/4/7/8/9 signals, and inhibits LPS-induced IRAK1 activation, as well as ERK1/2, JNK and NF-κB activation, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. Trimebutine hydrochloride also induces tumor cell apoptosis by inhibiting the AKT/ERK pathway. Trimebutine hydrochloride also inhibits excessive contraction of smooth muscle and can be used in the study of gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]}.

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.
