Xanthine-¹³C,¹⁵N₂ 

Xanthine-¹³C,¹⁵N₂ is a ¹⁵N-labeled and ¹³C-labled Xanthine (HY-W017389). Xanthine is a plant alkaloid with mild stimulant activity of the central nervous system. Xanthine also acts as an intermediate product on the pathway of purine degradation^[1][2][3].

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^[75].
