2-[(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)amino]-N,N-dimethylbenzeneacetamide-d4

2-[(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)amino]-N,N-dimethylbenzeneacetamide-d4 is a deuterated version of the organic compound 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]-N,N-dimethylbenzeneacetamide, which is commonly known as Diclofenac. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to treat pain, inflammation, and fever. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain and inflammation in the body. 2-[(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)amino]-N,N-dimethylbenzeneacetamide-d4 is commonly used in research and analytical laboratories as a reference standard for the analysis of diclofenac and its metabolites. It is also used in pharmacokinetic studies to determine the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of diclofenac in the body. Chemically, 2-[(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)amino]-N,N-dimethylbenzeneacetamide-d4 is a deuterium-labeled derivative of diclofenac. Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that has one neutron and one proton in its nucleus, whereas hydrogen has only one proton. The presence of deuterium in the structure of 2-[(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)amino]-N,N-dimethylbenzeneacetamide-d4 enhances its stability and makes it useful as a reference standard in analytical chemistry.
