Hypoxanthine 13C2,15N

Hypoxanthine 13C2,15N is a stable isotope-labeled form of hypoxanthine, which is a naturally occurring purine derivative. Purines are essential compounds that are involved in various biological processes, including energy metabolism, nucleotide synthesis, and signaling pathways. Hypoxanthine is an intermediate in the purine degradation pathway, and it can be converted into uric acid, a waste product that is excreted from the body. Hypoxanthine 13C2,15N is commonly used in metabolic research to study the kinetics and turnover of purine nucleotides. It is also used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis of hypoxanthine in biological samples using mass spectrometry. The labeled compound allows for accurate quantification and identification of hypoxanthine in complex biological matrices. Chemically, Hypoxanthine 13C2,15N is composed of two carbon-13 isotopes and one nitrogen-15 isotope, which replaces the natural carbon-12 and nitrogen-14 atoms in hypoxanthine. This labeling results in a higher molecular weight and a different isotopic distribution compared to the natural form of hypoxanthine. The chemical properties and biological activities of Hypoxanthine 13C2,15N are identical to those of the natural compound, making it a valuable tool for metabolic studies and drug development.
