DL-3-Phenyllactic acid-d₃ 

DL-3-Phenyllactic acid-d3 is a deuterated labeled DL-3-Phenyllactic acid^[1]. DL-3-Phenyllactic acid is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial compound.

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].
DL-3-Phenyllactic acid (3-Phenyllactic acid, PLA), which is an organic acid widely existing in honey and lactic acid bacteria fermented food, can be produced by many microorganisms, especially lactic acid bacteria. DL-3-Phenyllactic acid is proved as an ideal antimicrobial compound with broad and effective antimicrobial activity against both bacteria and fungi. In addition, DL-3-Phenyllactic acid can be used as feed additives to replace antibiotics in livestock feeds^[2].
