Veratrole-d₁₀  (Synonyms: 1,2-Dimethoxybenzene-d₁₀)

Veratrole-d₁₀ is the deuterium labeled Veratrole. Veratrole (1,2-Dimethoxybenzene) is a key compound that widely exists in plants and attracts pollinators. The release of Veratrole has a circadian rhythm and plays an important role in plant reproduction, species differentiation, and interactions with pollinators. In addition, Veratrole can be demethylated by cytochrome P-450 in Streptomyces setonii^[1][2].

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].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
