PIPES-d18

PIPES-d18 is the deuterium labeled PIPES[1]. PIPES (1,4-Piperazinediethanesulfonic acid) is an important component of PIPES buffer agent used in biochemistry[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].
