[2H4]-3-(N-Acetylaminoethyl)-6-hydroxy-5-methoxyindole - Introduction

6-Hydroxy Melatonin-d4 (6-hydroxymelatonin-d4 (main component)) is a hydroxymelatonin compound in which 4 deuterium atoms are replaced. It is a derivative of melatonin and has a similar chemical structure, but unlike normal melatonin, deuterium atoms in its molecule replace hydrogen atoms.

The properties of this compound include:
-High stability: 6-Hydroxy Melatonin-d4 (Major) can be stored for a long time in a dry environment, and is not easy to decompose or deteriorate.
-High purity: It can obtain high-purity products through chemical synthesis.

One of its main uses is as a marker in laboratory studies to track the metabolic pathways of melatonin in organisms. It can be added to experimental samples and tested for its presence and metabolic processes in vivo or in vitro by analytical techniques.

Methods for preparing 6-Hydroxy Melatonin-d4 (Major) are usually synthesized by synthetic chemical methods. It can use heavy water instead of ordinary water to replace hydrogen atoms to synthesize the corresponding deuterated melatonin.

As far as safety information is concerned, the 6-Hydroxy Melatonin-d4 (Major) currently has no reported side effects that are harmful to human health. However, as a chemical reagent, appropriate laboratory safety measures should be taken when using it, and safe handling and storage should be carried out in accordance with the relevant safety data sheet. As with other laboratory reagents, avoid contact with skin, eyes or inhalation, wear personal protective equipment if necessary, and operate in a well-ventilated environment.
