Secnidazole-d₆  (Synonyms: RP-14539-d₆; PM-185184-d₆)

Secnidazole-d₆ is the deuterium labeled Secnidazole. Secnidazole (RP-14539;PM-185184) is an orally active azole antibiotic with a longer half-life than metronidazole (HY-B0318). Secnidazole is against the vaginosis-associated bacteria and has the potential for bacterial vaginosis research[1].

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].
