Metronidazole-d4（Cat No.:S000343） is a deuterated form of metronidazole, where four hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium. Metronidazole is an antibiotic effective against anaerobic bacteria and certain parasites, commonly used to treat infections such as bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and diverticulitis. The introduction of deuterium atoms enhances the stability of metronidazole, allowing for more precise pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies. These studies improve the understanding of the drug’s behavior in the body, enabling researchers to fine-tune dosing and administration strategies, thus optimizing therapeutic efficacy and minimizing potential side effects for more effective treatment outcomes.
