Metronidazole-d3（Cat No.:S000484） is a deuterated form of metronidazole, where three hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium. This alteration can affect the drug’s metabolic stability and is often used in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic research. Metronidazole is a widely used antibiotic and antiprotozoal medication that treats various infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and certain parasites. The medication works by interfering with the DNA synthesis of the bacteria or parasites, leading to their death. The deuterated version, metronidazole-d3, provides a tool for researchers to explore how these isotopic changes impact the drug’s behavior in the body.
