Florfenicol-d3 is a deuterium-labeled version of Florfenicol, a veterinary antibiotic used for bovine respiratory disease and to control enteric septicemia in catfish. It has been shown to induce early embryonic death in eggs. Florfenicol-d3 can be used as a tracer and as an internal standard for quantitative analysis. Deuteration, the incorporation of stable heavy isotopes, is explored for its potential to influence the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
