Used primarily in research and development, this compound serves as a labeled internal standard in analytical chemistry, particularly in mass spectrometry, to ensure accurate quantification of amphetamines in biological samples. It aids in studying pharmacokinetics, metabolism, and drug distribution in clinical and forensic toxicology. Its deuterated structure minimizes interference, enhancing precision in detecting and analyzing amphetamine-related substances. Additionally, it supports the development of diagnostic tools and therapeutic monitoring for conditions treated with amphetamine-based medications.
