Desmethyl Levofloxacin-d₈  (Synonyms: 去甲左氧氟沙星-d₈)

Desmethyl Levofloxacin-d₈ is deuterium labeled Desmethyl Levofloxacin. Desmethyl Levofloxacin is a metabolite of Levofloxacin. Levofloxacin, a synthetic fluoroquinolone, is an antibacterial agent that inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA gyrase, halting DNA replication[1].

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.
