Biological Activity

[Description]:

Acamprosate D3 calcium is the deuterium labeled Acamprosate calcium. Acamprosate calcium is a GABA receptor agonist and modulator of glutamatergic systems[1][2].

[In Vitro]

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].
