Indinavir-¹³C₄,¹⁵N  (Synonyms: MK-639 (free base)-¹³C₄,¹⁵N; L-735524 (free base)-¹³C₄,¹⁵N)

Indinavir-¹³C₄,¹⁵N (MK-639 (free base)-¹³C₄,¹⁵N) is ¹³C and ¹⁵N labeled Indinavir. Indinavir (MK-639 free base) is an orally active and selective HIV-1 protease inhibitor with a K_i of 0.54 nM for PR. Indinavir exhibits anticancer activity by inhibiting the activation of MMPs-2 hydrolysis, anti-angiogenesis and inducing apoptosis. Indinavir is also a SARS-CoV 3CL^pro inhibitor^[1][2][3][4].

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.

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
