Clomipramine D3 is primarily used as an internal standard in analytical chemistry for the quantification of clomipramine in various biological samples. Its deuterated form allows for precise and accurate measurements in techniques such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This application is crucial in pharmacokinetic studies, therapeutic drug monitoring, and forensic toxicology, where it helps ensure reliable and reproducible results by minimizing interference from endogenous substances. Additionally, it aids in the development and validation of analytical methods for detecting clomipramine in research and clinical settings.
