Clevidipine 13CD3

Clevidipine 13CD3 is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers. It is an isotopically labeled version of Clevidipine, where the hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium atoms. The compound is used for medicinal purposes as an antihypertensive agent. It is a fast-acting medication that works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into smooth muscle cells, thereby relaxing blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. Clevidipine 13CD3 is administered intravenously and is typically used in the treatment of severe hypertension or when other antihypertensive medications have failed to produce the desired effect. It is particularly useful in situations where rapid control of blood pressure is necessary, such as in a surgical setting or in the treatment of hypertensive emergencies. The isotopic labeling of Clevidipine 13CD3 allows for accurate tracking of the compound in the body during clinical studies and provides valuable insights into its pharmacokinetic properties. In terms of chemical information, Clevidipine 13CD3 has a molecular formula of C27H35D3N2O7 and a molecular weight of 517.64 g/mol. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. The compound has a melting point of 75-78°C and a boiling point of 738.4°C at 760 mmHg. Clevidipine 13CD3 is stable under normal storage conditions and does not require any special handling or storage procedures.
