Tipranavir 13C6

[13C6]-Tipranavir is a stable isotope-labeled version of the antiviral medication Tipranavir. Tipranavir belongs to the class of protease inhibitors and is used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. The stable isotope-labeled version of the medication, [13C6]-Tipranavir, is used in pharmacokinetic studies to track the distribution, metabolism, and elimination of the drug in the body. This is achieved by administering the labeled drug to patients and then analyzing biological samples such as blood and urine for the presence and concentration of the labeled compound. Chemically, [13C6]-Tipranavir is identical to Tipranavir except for the presence of six additional carbon atoms, each of which contains 13 carbon isotopes instead of the more common 12. This labeling does not alter the pharmacological activity of the drug, but it facilitates the analysis and quantification of the drug in biological samples using mass spectrometry techniques. In summary, [13C6]-Tipranavir is a stable isotope-labeled version of the antiviral medication Tipranavir that is used in pharmacokinetic studies to track the distribution, metabolism, and elimination of the drug in the body. It is chemically identical to Tipranavir except for the presence of six additional carbon atoms, each of which contains 13 carbon isotopes.
