Cefdinir-15N2,13C

Cefdinir-15N2,13C is a labeled variant of cefdinir, an antibiotic compound, where specific atoms within the molecule have been replaced with isotopes, specifically two nitrogen atoms with nitrogen-15 (15N) and a carbon atom with carbon-13 (13C). This isotopic labeling enhances the molecule′s utility for scientific research, particularly in the fields of analytical chemistry and environmental science, without altering its fundamental chemical structure. The incorporation of these heavier isotopes provides distinct advantages in various spectroscopic and mass spectrometric techniques, enabling more precise and detailed analyses. For instance, the use of 15N and 13C isotopes significantly improves the identification and quantification of cefdinir in complex biological or environmental matrices by providing unique spectral signatures that distinguish the labeled compound from its unlabeled counterparts and other substances. Researchers utilize Cefdinir-15N2,13C in studies aimed at understanding the metabolic pathways and environmental fate of cefdinir. These studies are crucial for assessing how this compound degrades and interacts within different ecosystems, which can inform environmental impact assessments and guide policies on antibiotic disposal and management. Additionally, this labeled compound is instrumental in developing and refining analytical methods that ensure accurate monitoring of antibiotic residues in the environment, thereby contributing to broader efforts to mitigate antibiotic resistance propagation.
