Dipivefrin-d₆ hydrochloride  (Synonyms: Dipivefrine-d₆ hydrochloride)

Dipivefrin-d₆ (hydrochloride) is deuterium labeled Dipivefrin (hydrochloride). Dipivefrin hydrochloride (Dipivefrine hydrochloride) is an antiglaucoma proagent that is hydrolyzed to the active compound, epinephrine, by esterases in the cornea[1][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].
