6-Mercaptopurine-d2 is a deuterated form of 6-mercaptopurine, a chemotherapy medication used to treat leukemia and other cancers. In this compound, two hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, which enhances its utility in pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies. The deuterium labeling allows for precise tracking and analysis in mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, facilitating detailed research into the drug’s metabolism, absorption, distribution, and excretion. Despite the isotopic substitution, 6-Mercaptopurine-d2 retains the same therapeutic properties as the non-deuterated form, making it valuable for research and clinical studies.
