Gestodene-d₆  (Synonyms: SHB 331-d₆; WL 70-d₆)

Gestodene-d₆is the deuterium labeled Gestodene. Gestodene(SHB 331) is a progestogen hormonal contraceptive[1][2]. Gestodene-d6 is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

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].
