Meclofenamic acid-d₄  (Synonyms: Meclofenamate-d₄)

Meclofenamic acid-d₄ is the deuterium labeled Meclofenamic acid. Meclofenamic Acid (Meclofenamate), a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory agent, is a highly selective fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) enzyme inhibitor. Meclofenamic Acid competes with FTO binding for the m(6)A-containing nucleic acid. Meclofenamic acid is a non-selective gap-junction blocker[1][2][3].

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].

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