Our Difference Starts with a ‘D’.

Deuterium (D) is a naturally occurring, stable isotope of hydrogen (H), with an additional neutron in its nucleus. Selectively substituting hydrogen with deuterium, or deuteration, is a way to alter a molecule’s metabolic profile while maintaining the core pharmacodynamic characteristics.

Deuteration strengthens the chemical bond between two elements. Depending on where D is placed, it has the potential to alter the overall metabolism of a molecule, or to reduce conversion to specific, unwanted metabolites.

Deuteration has been successfully leveraged in several approved and/or late stage pharmaceutical products.
