8-13C-Uric Acid is a labeled form of uric acid, where the carbon atom at the 8th position is replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This isotopic labeling is particularly useful in biochemical and metabolic studies, allowing researchers to track the metabolism of uric acid with high precision using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The carbon-13 labeling facilitates detailed investigation into the role of uric acid in diseases such as gout and kidney stones, while retaining the same chemical properties as the non-labeled compound.
