A method of enhancing the efficiency and increasing the duration of action of drugs (e.g. dihydropyridines and anti-bacterials) and particularly of nifedipine and penicillins wherein one or more hydrogen atoms are deuterated and wherein the deuterated drug has unexpectedly improved properties when used in much lower concentrations than unmodified drug. A method for determining the identity and bioequivalency of a new drug is also disclosed wherein the molecular and isotope structure of a new drug is determined by isotope ratio mass spectrometry and compared with the molecular and isotope structure of a known human drug.
一种增强药物效率和延长作用时间的方法(例如
二氢吡啶和抗菌药物),特别是对于
硝苯地平和
青霉素,其中一个或多个氢原子被
氘代替,而且
氘代药物在使用时比未经改良的药物低得多的浓度下具有意外改善的性质。还公开了一种确定新药物身份和
生物等效性的方法,其中通过同位素比质谱确定新药物的分子和同位素结构,并与已知的人类药物的分子和同位素结构进行比较。
