Cinacalcet-D3 (AMG 073-D3) is the deuterium labeled Cinacalcet. Cinacalcet (AMG 073) is an orally active, allosteric agonist of Ca receptor (CaR), used for cardiovascular disease treatment.

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].
