| Targets |
Niacin-d4 itself does not have a traditional biological target; it is a stable isotope-labeled internal standard. The parent compound Niacin (Nicotinic acid) is a member of the B vitamin family. Niacin is involved in numerous metabolic processes as a precursor to the coenzymes NAD and NADP. Niacin-d4 serves as a valuable tool in tracer studies and metabolic research for quantifying niacin in biological samples.

| 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 [1].
Niacin-d4 does not exhibit direct in vitro biological activity as it is an analytical standard. However, the parent compound Niacin is a vitamin that serves as a precursor to NAD and NADP, which are essential coenzymes in redox reactions. Niacin-d4 is used as an internal standard to accurately measure niacin concentrations in biological samples, facilitating research on vitamin B metabolism and related biochemical pathways. |
| ln Vivo |
Niacin-d4 is not intended for in vivo administration as a therapeutic agent; it is used as an analytical standard. The in vivo activity of the parent compound Niacin is well documented as a vitamin with roles in metabolism and cardiovascular health. Niacin-d4 is utilized in pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies to track the distribution, metabolism, and excretion of niacin in biological systems.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Niacin-d4 are not typically performed, as it is an analytical standard. Instead, the compound is used in analytical method development and validation. Quality control assays involve HPLC or LC-MS/MS to verify isotopic purity (≥98 atom % D) and chemical purity. The compound is tested for stability under various storage conditions. It is a white to off-white solid and is soluble in water.
|
| Cell Assay |
Niacin-d4 itself is not tested in in vitro cellular assays for biological activity, as it is an analytical standard. Its utility is assessed by its performance as an internal standard in analytical workflows, including its ability to co-elute with the parent compound and provide accurate quantification in LC-MS/MS or GC-MS analyses. The compound is used in quality control applications for niacin analysis.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for Niacin-d4 are not conducted as therapeutic efficacy studies. Instead, the compound is administered to animals as a tracer in pharmacokinetic studies to quantify the parent compound niacin in plasma, tissues, and excreta. These studies help determine the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profile of niacin. The labeled compound allows for precise tracking and identification of niacin in biological matrices.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Niacin-d4 has a molecular formula of C6HD4NO2 and a molecular weight of 127.13. It has a purity of ≥98% and an isotopic enrichment of ≥98 atom % D. It is a white to off-white solid with an odorless characteristic and a pH of 3.4 at 10 g/L at 20°C. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions. It is intended for research use only and is not for human consumption.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of Niacin-d4 is not extensively characterized, as it is an analytical standard rather than a therapeutic agent. The parent compound Niacin is a vitamin that is generally recognized as safe in appropriate doses. Niacin-d4 is intended for research use only and is not approved for clinical use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.
