Etoposide-¹³C,d₃  (Synonyms: VP-16-¹³C,d₃; VP-16-213-¹³C,d₃)

Etoposide-¹³C,d₃ is the ¹³C- and deuterium labeled Etoposide. Etoposide (VP-16; VP-16-213) is an anti-cancer chemotherapy agent. Etoposide inhibits topoisomerase II, thus stopping DNA replication. Etoposide induces cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and autophagy[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^[65].
