3-Amino-2-methylpropanoic acid-d3

3-Amino-2-methylpropanoic acid-d3 is the deuterium labeled 3-Amino-2-methylpropanoic acid[1]. 3-Amino-2-methylpropanoic acid could induce browning of white fat and hepatic β-oxidation and is inversely correlated with cardiometabolic risk factors[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].
