Memantine-d₆ (hydrochloride) is the deuterium labeled Memantine hydrochloride. Memantine (hydrochloride) (D-145 (hydrochloride)) is a moderate affinity, uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist, inhibit CYP2B6 and CYP2D6 with Ki of 0.51 nM and 94.9 μM, respectively.

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.
