Xanthurenic acid-d4(Cat No.:R049800)is a deuterated form of xanthurenic acid, a compound produced during the metabolism of tryptophan through the kynurenine pathway. In xanthurenic acid-d4, four hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen. This modification enhances its use in metabolic studies, particularly when tracking the behavior of metabolites in biological systems through techniques like nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Xanthurenic acid-d4 provides researchers with more precise insights into the metabolic processes and the potential neurophysiological effects of kynurenine pathway metabolites.
