| Targets |
Dopamine D4 receptors (D4DR) and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. Clozapine binds preferentially to D4 and 5-HT2 receptors (Ki for 5-HT2A ~1.4 nM, D4 ~9 nM) and acts as a weak D1 and D2 antagonist. It also binds to 5-HT6 and 5-HT7 receptors and the muscarinic M1 receptor (Ki 9.5 nM).

| 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].
Clozapine-d8 has the same receptor binding profile as unlabeled clozapine. Clozapine is a potent antagonist at dopamine D4 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, with weaker activity at D1 and D2 receptors. This unique receptor profile contributes to its efficacy in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. |
| ln Vivo |
Unlabeled clozapine is a gold-standard antipsychotic for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. It reduces positive and negative symptoms and decreases the risk of suicide. Clozapine-d8 is not administered therapeutically but is used as an internal standard for therapeutic drug monitoring and PK studies.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Membrane preparations from CHO or HEK293 cells expressing human dopamine D4 or serotonin 5-HT2A receptors (5-20 microg) are incubated with Clozapine-d8 (0.01-1000 nM) and a radioligand (e.g., [3H]spiperone for D2-like, [3H]ketanserin for 5-HT2A) in binding buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% BSA) at 25degC for 60-90 minutes. Nonspecific binding is determined with 10 microM haloperidol or ketanserin.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cells expressing dopamine or serotonin receptors (e.g., HEK293-D4, CHO-5-HT2A) are treated with Clozapine-d8 (0.1-1000 nM) for 30-60 minutes. Functional activity (cAMP accumulation for D4; IP accumulation for 5-HT2A) is measured using HTRF (cAMP HiRange) or IP-One kits to distinguish agonist vs. antagonist activity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Not applicable for internal standard. For PK studies, rats or dogs are administered unlabeled clozapine (1-10 mg/kg, oral or IV). Blood samples are collected at multiple time points (0.5-48 hours), plasma is spiked with Clozapine-d8 as an internal standard, and clozapine and its major metabolite (norclozapine) are quantified by LC-MS/MS.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Clozapine has an oral bioavailability of 50-60% in humans, with a plasma half-life of 12-16 hours (range 6-33 hours). It is extensively metabolized in the liver by CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3). Clozapine-d8 has identical PK properties.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Clozapine is associated with significant toxicities, including agranulocytosis (0.8-1.5% incidence, requiring regular blood monitoring), myocarditis (1-3%), seizures (1-5%), and metabolic syndrome. The d8-labeled version is safe at tracer levels in research settings. Handle unlabeled clozapine with extreme care.

| Additional Infomation |
Clozapine-d8 is for research use only as an analytical standard, not for human administration. Unlabeled clozapine (Clozaril®) is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The d8-labeled version is essential for LC-MS/MS-based therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to ensure safe and effective dosing of clozapine in psychiatric patients.

*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.
