Allotetrahydrocortisol-[D5]

Allotetrahydrocortisol-[D5] is a synthetic steroid hormone that is commonly used in medical research and clinical settings. This compound is a deuterated version of the naturally occurring hormone Allotetrahydrocortisol, with five deuterium atoms incorporated into its molecular structure. Allotetrahydrocortisol-[D5] is primarily used as a stable isotope-labelled internal standard for the quantification of Allotetrahydrocortisol in biological matrices. The presence of deuterium in the compound's structure allows for accurate and precise measurement of Allotetrahydrocortisol levels in biological samples, particularly in cases where natural variations in isotopic abundance may affect the accuracy of measurements. The chemical properties of Allotetrahydrocortisol-[D5] are similar to those of natural Allotetrahydrocortisol, with the exception of its isotopic composition. This compound is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in organic solvents, but insoluble in water. Its molecular formula is C21H29D5O5, and it has a molecular weight of 385.55 g/mol. Allotetrahydrocortisol-[D5] is generally considered safe when used in accordance with established guidelines and under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. However, like all synthetic compounds, it may cause side effects in some individuals, particularly if used in high doses or for extended periods of time. As with any medication or research chemical, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional or laboratory expert before using Allotetrahydrocortisol-[D5].
