Zidovudine O-β-D-glucuronide-d₃ sodium  (Synonyms: 3'-Azido-3'-deoxythymidine β-D-glucuronide-d₃ sodium)

Zidovudine O-β-D-glucuronide-d₃ (sodium) (3'-Azido-3'-deoxythymidine β-D-glucuronide-d₃ (sodium)) is a deuterium labeled Zidovudine O-β-D-glucuronide (sodium) (HY-137522). Zidovudine O-β-D-glucuronide (3'-Azido-3'-deoxythymidine β-D-glucuronide) sodium is the major metabolite of Zidovudine. Zidovudine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), widely used to treat HIV infection^[1][2][3].

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].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
