Threo-Chloramphenicol-D6

Threo-Chloramphenicol-D6 is a deuterated form of the antibiotic Chloramphenicol. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is primarily used to treat bacterial infections. Threo-Chloramphenicol-D6 is an isotopically labelled compound that is synthesized by the exchange of six hydrogen atoms with six deuterium atoms. This makes it useful for use in research studies where isotopically labelled compounds are required. Threo-Chloramphenicol-D6 works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which ultimately leads to the death of the bacteria. It is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as some anaerobic bacteria. It is commonly used to treat infections such as typhoid fever, meningitis, and pneumonia. Threo-Chloramphenicol-D6 is available in the form of a powder or a solution. It is typically administered intravenously, although it can also be given orally in some cases. The dosage of Threo-Chloramphenicol-D6 depends on the severity of the infection and the patient's weight. While Threo-Chloramphenicol-D6 is an effective antibiotic, it is not without side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In rare cases, it can cause serious side effects such as bone marrow suppression or aplastic anemia. Therefore, it is important to use this medication only under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
