Nitrofurazone-13C,15N2, also known as Nitrofural-13C,15N2, is a 13C and 15N labeled derivative of Nitrofurazone. This antibiotic is used topically to treat wounds, burns, ulcers, and skin infections, and in surfactant preparation. It may also affect ecosystem function in marine environments. The stable heavy isotopes are incorporated into drug molecules as tracers for quantitation during drug development.
