Paclitaxel-d5 is primarily used in research and analytical studies as an internal standard for the quantification of paclitaxel in biological samples. Its deuterated form allows for precise and accurate measurement in mass spectrometry, ensuring minimal interference from background noise. This compound is particularly valuable in pharmacokinetic studies, where it helps track the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of paclitaxel in the body. Additionally, it aids in the development and validation of analytical methods for drug monitoring, ensuring consistency and reliability in clinical and laboratory settings.
