Product Description
Metformin-d6 ( HCl)e is a deuterated form of Metformin HCl. Metformin HCl inhibits the mitochondrial respiratory chain in the liver, leads to AMPK activation, enhances insulin sensitivity, and may be utilized in the research of type 2 diabetes. Metformin HCl can penetrate the BBB (blood-brain barrier) and induce autophagy.
Metformin-d6 hydrochloride is a deuterium-labeled version of metformin hydrochloride, a widely used antidiabetic medication. The compound contains six deuterium atoms replacing hydrogen atoms in the dimethyl groups. Metformin-d6 hydrochloride is used as a labeled reference standard for the quantification of metformin by mass spectrometry in pharmacokinetic and analytical studies. It has a molecular weight of 171.66 and a molecular formula of C4H6D6ClN5.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
AMPK
Metformin-d6 hydrochloride does not have a distinct biological target as it is an analytical internal standard. The parent compound, metformin hydrochloride, targets the mitochondrial respiratory chain in the liver, leading to AMPK activation and enhanced insulin sensitivity. Metformin suppresses glucose production by the liver and is used to treat type 2 diabetes.
ln Vitro
Metformin-d6 hydrochloride does not exhibit pharmacological activity as it is used exclusively as an analytical standard. Its utility is in enabling accurate quantification of metformin in biological samples by mass spectrometry. The compound exhibits identical chromatographic and mass spectrometric behavior to metformin, allowing for precise analytical measurements.
ln Vivo
Metformin-d6 hydrochloride is not used as a therapeutic agent and does not exhibit in vivo activity. It is administered as an internal standard in pharmacokinetic studies to accurately quantify metformin concentrations. The parent compound, metformin, can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and induce autophagy.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not performed for metformin-d6 hydrochloride, as it is an analytical standard. Its characterization involves analytical method validation, including assessment of its chromatographic behavior and mass spectrometric response. The compound is used as a reference standard for the detection and quantification of metformin in biological samples.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays are not applicable to metformin-d6 hydrochloride, as it is an analytical standard used for quantification purposes. The compound is spiked into biological samples to serve as an internal standard for analytical methods such as LC-MS/MS or GC-MS.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for metformin-d6 hydrochloride involve administering the compound alongside metformin in pharmacokinetic studies. Blood samples are collected at various time points, and metformin concentrations are measured by mass spectrometry using the deuterated internal standard for normalization.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for metformin-d6 hydrochloride are not separately characterized, as it is used as an internal standard for measuring metformin levels. The compound has a molecular weight of 171.66 and a molecular formula of C4H6D6ClN5. Purity is typically >98% with >98% atom% D. Stability is ensured if stored under recommended conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for metformin-d6 hydrochloride are not separately evaluated, as it is used in trace amounts as an analytical internal standard. The compound is for research use only. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
H2O : 50 mg/mL (291.27 mM)
DMSO : 50 mg/mL (291.27 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (12.12 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (12.12 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*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.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
