Gentamicin Deuterated (C Complex) Pentaacetate Salt (Contains d0) (CAS 1403-66-3 unlabeled)

Gentamicin Deuterated (C Complex) Pentaacetate Salt represents an intriguing variation of the conventional gentamicin antibiotic, modified through the incorporation of deuterium atoms at specific positions. This alteration is not merely a trivial chemical modification; it fundamentally impacts the molecule′s physical and chemical properties, potentially affecting its stability, degradation rate, and interactions with biological molecules. The "C Complex" denotes a particular subset of gentamicin molecules, distinguished by their unique structural features and biological activities. As a pentaacetate salt, this compound has been modified to include five acetate groups, enhancing its solubility in certain solvents, which can be for various research applications. In scientific studies, this deuterated version of gentamicin serves as a powerful tool for tracing the distribution and metabolism of gentamicin in biological systems, without the confounding effects that might arise from isotopic effects of lighter atoms. By using this compound, researchers can delve deeper into understanding the mechanisms underlying the antibacterial efficacy of gentamicin, elucidate pathways of resistance, and explore novel applications beyond its conventional use. This compound′s unique properties make it a valuable asset in the arsenal of molecular biology and chemistry for probing the intricacies of antibiotic action and resistance mechanisms at the molecular level.
