| Targets |
Levofloxacin-13C,d3 targets the same bacterial enzymes as unlabeled Levofloxacin. Levofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. The compound is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial effects.

| ln Vitro |
Drug compounds have included stable heavy isotopes of carbon, hydrogen, and other elements, mostly as quantitative tracers while the drugs were being developed. Because deuteration may have an effect on a drug's pharmacokinetics and metabolic properties, it is a cause for concern [83].
Levofloxacin-13C,d3 is used in vitro as a tracer to study the antibacterial activity and pharmacokinetics of Levofloxacin. The compound does not exhibit intrinsic pharmacological activity beyond that of Levofloxacin but serves as a quantitative tool for studying antibiotic uptake, distribution, and metabolism in bacterial and mammalian cells. Levofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Levofloxacin-13C,d3 is used in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies to trace the distribution and metabolism of Levofloxacin in animal models. The dual isotope label (¹³C and d₃) allows for precise quantification of the antibiotic and its metabolites in plasma and tissues using mass spectrometry.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
As an internal standard, Levofloxacin-13C,d3 is used in analytical assays such as LC-MS/MS. Typical protocols involve spiking the labeled compound into biological samples prior to extraction and analysis. The labeled compound co-elutes with the unlabeled Levofloxacin but is detected at a different mass-to-charge ratio, allowing for precise quantification and correction for matrix effects.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based experiments using Levofloxacin-13C,d3 involve treating bacterial or mammalian cells with the compound and analyzing its uptake and metabolism by mass spectrometry. The compound can be used to study antibiotic resistance mechanisms and the pharmacokinetics of Levofloxacin in various cell types.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies using Levofloxacin-13C,d3 involve administering the compound to rodents via oral gavage or intravenous injection. Blood samples are collected at various time points, and the concentration of the labeled compound is measured by mass spectrometry. Tissue distribution and metabolic profiling can also be performed.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Levofloxacin-13C,d3 exhibits pharmacokinetic properties similar to those of unlabeled Levofloxacin. Levofloxacin is rapidly absorbed after oral administration and has good tissue penetration. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted primarily in urine. The isotope labels provide distinct mass shifts for analytical detection.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Levofloxacin-13C,d3 is considered safe for research use at typical concentrations. Unlabeled Levofloxacin has a well-established safety profile but can cause adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances and tendon damage. As a stable isotope-labeled compound, it is not intended for therapeutic use and is handled under standard laboratory safety practices.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
