Nerol-d₂ 

Nerol-d₂ is deuterated labeled Octanal (HY-N8015). Octanal is an aromatic aldehyde, with antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Octanal shows cytotoxicity against Hela cells^[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^[1].
Nerol induces apoptosis associated with the generation of ROS and Ca²⁺ overload in saprotrophic fungus Aspergillus flavus^[2].
The antifungal activity of Nerol (NEL) against Candida albicans, a pathogenic fungus, has a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 4.4μM that causes noteworthy candidacidal activity through an apoptosis-like mechanism^[3].
Nerol triggers mitochondrial dysfunction and disruption via elevation of Ca²⁺ and ROS in Candida albicans^[3].
