5-Aminolevulinic acid-d2 hydrochloride（Cat No.:M043677）is a deuterated form of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), where two hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium isotopes. ALA is a key precursor in the biosynthesis of porphyrins and heme, and the deuterated version is commonly used in metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies. The addition of deuterium enhances the stability of the compound, making it useful in isotopic labeling experiments and advanced analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry. It is also employed in photodynamic therapy, particularly in the treatment of certain cancers and dermatological conditions.
