Alendronic acid-d₆ 

Alendronic acid-d₆ is the deuterium labeled Alendronic acid. Alendronic acid, a bisphosphonate, is a farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS) inhibitor. Alendronic acid inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Alendronic acid shows efficacy in postmenopausal osteoporosis, malignant hypercalcemia and Paget’s disease[1].

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].

* Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.
