Usage

Description

D-[5-13C]GALACTOSE is a stable isotope-labeled form of D-galactose, a monosaccharide sugar that is commonly found in milk and sugar beets, as well as being synthesized by the human body. It is characterized by the presence of a carbon-13 isotope at the fifth carbon position, which distinguishes it from the naturally occurring D-galactose.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
D-[5-13C]GALACTOSE is used as a research tool for studying the metabolism and transport of galactose in the human body. The presence of the carbon-13 isotope allows for the tracking of metabolic pathways and the investigation of various physiological processes.
Used in Medical Applications:
D-[5-13C]GALACTOSE is used as a potential therapeutic agent for oral therapy in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome in patients with focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. The isotope labeling may provide insights into the disease's progression and the effectiveness of the treatment.
Used in Nutritional Research:
D-[5-13C]GALACTOSE can be employed in nutritional research to study the role of galactose in various metabolic processes and its impact on overall health. The isotope labeling allows for a more accurate assessment of the absorption, utilization, and excretion of galactose in the body.
Used in Analytical Chemistry:
D-[5-13C]GALACTOSE can be utilized as a reference material or internal standard in analytical chemistry, particularly in mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The isotope labeling provides a unique signature that can be used to improve the accuracy and precision of these analytical techniques.
