Leucomalachite green-d₅ is the deuterium labeled Leucomalachite green. Leucomalachite green is a triphenylmethane dye used to detect blood. Leucomalachite green, a major metabolite of malachite green, is a potential carcinogen, teratogen and mutagen[1][2].

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].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
