Benzoic acid-d5 is a deuterium substitute for Benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is an aromatic alcohol that occurs naturally in many plants and is a common additive in food, beverages, cosmetics and other products. Benzoic acid can act as a preservative by inhibiting bacteria and fungi^[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].
Benzoic acid-d5 can be used for labeling and quantifying the glycopeptides of human serum IgG (hIgG)^[3].

Shanghai Jinpan Biotech Co Ltd has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
