O-Desmethyl gefitinib-d₆  (Synonyms: O-去甲基吉非替尼杂质8-d₆)

O-Desmethyl gefitinib-d₆ is the deuterium labeled O-Desmethyl gefitinib. O-Desmethyl gefitinib is an active metabolite of Gefitinib in human plasma. The formation of O-desmethyl gefitinib is dependent on CYP2D6 activity. O-desmethyl gefitinib inhibits EGFR with an IC50 of 36 nM in subcellular assays[1][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].

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