Pentadecanoic acid-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of pentadecanoic acid by GC- or LC-MS. Pentadecanoic acid is a 15:0 saturated fatty acid found in esterified form in the lipids of many bacterial species and in the milk fat of ruminants. It has been used as a biological marker for the intake of dairy fat in the assessment of metabolic risk factors.
Pentadecanoic-15,15,15-d3 Acid (CAS# 352431-40-4) is a useful isotopically labeled research compound.
ChEBI: Pentadecylic acid(d3) is a long-chain fatty acid and a deuterated fatty acid.
