(4-Carboxybutyl-d4)triphenylphosphonium Bromide is a deuterated form of a triphenylphosphonium salt, where four hydrogen atoms in the carboxybutyl chain are replaced with deuterium. This isotopic labeling is particularly useful in research involving metabolic studies, drug delivery, and mitochondrial targeting. The deuterium labeling allows for precise tracking and analysis using mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, aiding in the study of the compound’s behavior in biological systems. Despite the isotopic substitution, it retains the same chemical properties, making it valuable for detailed research into cellular and molecular processes.
