Nevirapine-d₈  (Synonyms: BI-RG 587-d₈; NSC 641530-d₈; NVP-d₈)

Nevirapine-d₈ (BI-RG 587-d₈) is deuterium labeled Nevirapine. Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase used to treat and prevent HIV/AIDS; with a K_i of 270 μM^[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.

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