Primaquine-d₃ diphosphate 

Primaquine-d₃ (diphosphate) is the deuterium labeled Primaquine diphosphate. Primaquine Diphosphate (Primaquine phosphate), an 8-aminoquinoline, exerts a broad spectrum of activities against various stages of parasitic malaria. Primaquine Diphosphate remains as the only agent that destroys late hepatic stages and latent tissue forms of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale[1][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].
