2-Iodoacetamide-d4

2-Iodoacetamide-d4 is the deuterium labeled 2-Iodoacetamide[1]. 2-Iodoacetamide (Iodoacetamide), an alkylating agent, is a commonly used agent for alkylation of cysteine during sample preparation for proteomics[2][3].

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].
