Cayman Linezolid-D3; Purity- Greater Than Or Equal To 99% Deutera

Linezolid-d₃ is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of linezolid (Item No. 15012) by GC- or LC-MS. Linezolid is a synthetic oxazolidinone antibiotic with activity against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria, including resistant strains of several species, such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), penicillin-resistant pneumococci, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, various anaerobic bacteria, and several mycobacteria and streptococci (MICs = 2-4 mg/ml).¹ Linezolid inhibits protein synthesis by binding to domain V of the 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes. In vivo, linezolid (50 mg/kg) reduces pulmonary MRSA load in spontaneously breathing and mechanically ventilated rabbits.² Formulations containing linezolid have been used to treat MRSA infections.
