| Targets |
CYP3A4 is the primary enzyme responsible for the formation of 4beta-hydroxycholesterol from cholesterol. This compound is used as an analytical standard; it does not directly interact with biological targets itself.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Drug compounds have been modified to include stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements. These isotopes are mostly utilized as quantitative tracers during the drug development process. 1].
Not applicable; as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard, it is not tested for biological activity in vitro. Its non-labeled counterpart, 4beta-hydroxycholesterol, is a circulating metabolite that reflects CYP3A4 activity. |
| ln Vivo |
Not applicable; this compound is an analytical standard not intended for in vivo administration. The non-labeled version is an endogenous metabolite present in human circulation (typical concentrations 20-100 ng/mL).
|
| Enzyme Assay |
4beta-Hydroxycholesterol-d4 is spiked into biological samples (plasma, serum, or liver microsomes) at known concentrations (e.g., 10-50 ng/mL) prior to extraction. Samples are processed by liquid-liquid extraction and analyzed by LC-MS/MS (MRM transitions monitored).
|
| Cell Assay |
Not applicable; no cell-based assays are performed with this internal standard. It is used in analytical chemistry workflows involving mass spectrometry quantification of biological specimens.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Not applicable; this compound is not administered to animals. It is used to quantify endogenous 4beta-hydroxycholesterol levels in animal study samples (e.g., plasma from rats or mice treated with CYP3A inducers/inhibitors).
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Not applicable; this is an analytical internal standard. The endogenous 4beta-hydroxycholesterol in humans has a plasma half-life of approximately 17 days, making it a useful long-term marker of CYP3A4 activity.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No toxicity; the compound is used as an analytical standard at picogram to nanogram levels in LC-MS/MS. It does not pose a toxicological risk in research applications.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
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).

| 10 mM | 0.2459 mL | 1.2295 mL | 2.4589 mL |
*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.
