Model NA16897 - Abacavir Carboxylate - Datasheet

Abacavir carboxylate is a prodrug of abacavir that is activated by the carboxylation of the terminal hydroxyl group in the liver. It has been shown to be quantified using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method. Abacavir carboxylate has an additional benefit of being less sensitive to degradation by nitrate, which can interfere with the analysis of acyclovir. The deuterium label on abacavir carboxylate ensures that it is not confused with acyclovir and facilitates identification in wastewater samples.
