| Targets |
Not applicable. As a labeled herbicide, it has no therapeutic target. The unlabeled 2,4-D is a synthetic auxin (plant hormone) used as a selective herbicide. It acts on the auxin receptor TIR1/AFB (Transport Inhibitor Response 1/Auxin Signaling F-Box) in plants, leading to uncontrolled growth and ultimately plant death. The labeled version is used for environmental and agricultural studies.

| ln Vitro |
Drug molecules have included stable heavy isotopes of carbon, hydrogen, and other elements, mostly as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Due to its potential to alter the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of medications, deuteration has drawn attention[1].
The labeled compound is not used for its biological activity but as an internal standard. Unlabeled 2,4-D is a potent herbicide that kills broadleaf weeds by inducing uncontrolled cell division and growth in meristematic tissues. It is selective for dicots (broadleaf plants) over monocots (grasses). The 13C6-labeled version behaves identically to the unlabeled compound but is detected by its mass shift. |
| ln Vivo |
Unlabeled 2,4-D is used globally in agriculture for weed control. The labeled version is not applied for in vivo activity. Instead, it is used in in vivo experiments to quantify the concentration of 2,4-D and its metabolites in environmental (soil, water) and biological (plant, animal) samples by LC-MS/MS. The 13C6-labeled internal standard corrects for matrix effects and extraction efficiency.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
2,4-D-13C6 is an internal standard. In a typical LC-MS/MS method for herbicide quantification, a fixed concentration of 2,4-D-13C6 (e.g., 100 ng/mL) is added to all samples, standards, and blanks. The sample (soil, water, or plant extract) is prepared by solid-phase extraction (SPE) or QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, Safe) method to clean up the matrix. The extracted sample is injected into an LC-MS/MS operating in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The concentration of the native 2,4-D is determined based on the ratio of its peak area to the 13C6-labeled internal standard peak area.
|
| Cell Assay |
Not applicable. For environmental toxicology, plant cells can be used. A cell suspension of a susceptible broadleaf plant (e.g., soybean or Arabidopsis) is treated with 2,4-D-13C6 (or unlabeled 2,4-D) at 1-100 uM for 0-72 hours. Cells are then harvested, and the auxin-responsive gene expression (e.g., GH3, SAUR) is measured by qPCR. The labeled compound allows for precise quantification of internalized herbicide levels within the plant cells.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In a typical environmental toxicology or residue study, 2,4-D-13C6 is used as an internal standard, not as a test substance. For a study on the unlabeled compound, rats or mice are administered 2,4-D orally at doses ranging from 10-300 mg/kg. Blood, urine, and tissues (liver, kidney) are collected at various time points. The 13C6-labeled version is spiked into the samples as an internal standard before LC-MS analysis to accurately quantify the concentration of the unlabeled 2,4-D and its metabolites to determine toxicokinetic parameters.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
2,4-D-13C6 has the same PK properties as unlabeled 2,4-D. It is well-absorbed after oral administration and primarily excreted unchanged in the urine via renal organic anion transporters. Its half-life in humans is ~10-30 hours, but in rodents it is much shorter (2-4 hours). It has low binding to plasma proteins, leading to a large volume of distribution. It undergoes minimal metabolism, primarily to 2,4-dichlorophenol and conjugates. The labeled form is used as an internal standard to correct for variability in these processes during analysis.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
2,4-D is an herbicide with low to moderate acute toxicity. The oral LD50 in rats is ~300-1000 mg/kg. At high doses, it can cause neurotoxicity (ataxia, muscle weakness), hepatotoxicity, and nephrotoxicity. It is classified as "moderately hazardous" by the WHO. The labeled form is chemically identical in toxicity. It is also an environmental contaminant and is toxic to aquatic plants and arthropods.

| Additional Infomation |
2,4-D-13C6 is a stable isotope-labeled analytical standard used for regulatory food safety testing and environmental monitoring. It is used to monitor the levels of 2,4-D in food products (e.g., cereals, fruits, vegetables) to ensure they are below the maximum residue limits (MRLs) set by government agencies (e.g., EPA, EFSA). The IUPAC name is 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid-13C6. The molecular formula is ¹3C₆C2H₆Cl2O3, and it has a molecular weight of 226.99 g/mol.
