Flubendazole-d₃ 

Flubendazole-d₃ is the deuterium labeled Flubendazole. Flubendazole is a safe and efficacious anthelmintic agent, which is widely used for anthelmintic to human, rodents and ruminants. Flubendazole exerts anticancer activities by mechanisms including inhibition of microtubule function. Flubendazole induces p53-mediated apoptosis and arrests G2/M cell cycle[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].
