Acetyl-L-carnitine-d3-1 (hydrochloride) is the deuterium labeled Acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride. Acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride is a blood-brain permeable acetyl ester of the amino acid L-carnitine found in the body. Acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride is often used as a dietary supplement, and exibits anti-stress-related psychiatric disorders[1].
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].
