Ceftriaxone-d3 (disodium) is the deuterium labeled Ceftriaxone. Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with excellent activity against many gram-negative, and reasonable activity against most gram-positive microorganisms. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics[1][2].
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].
