 Use of Urea-d4


Urea-d4 is the deuterium labeled Urea[1]. Urea is a powerful protein denaturant via both direct and indirect mechanisms[2]. A potent emollient and keratolytic agent[3]. Used as a diuretic agent. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) has been utilized to evaluate renal function[4]. Widely used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen and is an important raw material for the chemical industry.

Description Urea-d4 is the deuterium labeled Urea[1]. Urea is a powerful protein denaturant via both direct and indirect mechanisms[2]. A potent emollient and keratolytic agent[3]. Used as a diuretic agent. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) has been utilized to evaluate renal function[4]. Widely used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen and is an important raw material for the chemical industry.
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].
