| Targets |
Target: Histamine H1 Receptor (antagonist), Serotonin 5-HT2A Receptor (antagonist). Cyproheptadine is a competitive antagonist of histamine H1 receptors (Ki ~1-2 nM) and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors (Ki ~2-5 nM). It also has moderate anticholinergic activity (muscarinic receptor antagonist) and weak anti-5-HT1 and anti-5-HT2C activity. The deuterated standard is an analytical tracer.

| 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].
In vitro, the labeled standard has no direct biological activity. The unlabeled cyproheptadine (0.1-100 nM) inhibits histamine-induced contraction of isolated guinea pig ileum (H1 antagonism) and serotonin-induced platelet aggregation (5-HT2A antagonism). It shows antihistaminic and antiserotonergic potency with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range. It also inhibits calcium influx and reduces cell proliferation in some cancer cell lines. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, the unlabeled cyproheptadine is used clinically as an antihistamine for allergic conditions (urticaria, pruritus, angioedema) and as an appetite stimulant in cachexia (due to its antiserotonergic activity blocking serotonin-mediated satiety). It also has off-label use for serotonin syndrome and as a prophylactic for migraine. The deuterated standard is not administered in vivo; it is used as an internal standard for PK studies of cyproheptadine.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For cell-free assays: plasma, serum, or urine samples are spiked with Cyproheptadine-d3 internal standard. After liquid-liquid extraction (e.g., with ethyl acetate or hexane) or solid-phase extraction (SPE), the samples are injected into an LC-MS/MS or GC-MS system. A C18 reverse-phase column and positive ion mode ESI-MS/MS are typically used. Quantitation is based on the analyte/internal standard peak area ratio. Isotope dilution mass spectrometry is used to correct for matrix effects and ensure accurate quantification of cyproheptadine and its metabolites.
|
| Cell Assay |
No cell-based assays are performed with the deuterated standard. The unlabeled cyproheptadine is tested in histamine H1 receptor binding assays using cell membranes expressing human H1 receptors. Radioligand binding is performed using 3H-pyrilamine or 3H-mepyramine as the tracer. Competition binding assays are performed to determine Ki values. Functional antagonism is measured by calcium mobilization assays in H1-expressing cells stimulated with histamine, using calcium-sensitive dyes (Fluo-4).
|
| Animal Protocol |
No animal studies are conducted with the labeled internal standard itself. For PK studies of cyproheptadine, animals (rats, dogs) are administered the unlabeled drug orally or intravenously. Serial blood samples are collected, plasma is processed, and the deuterated internal standard is used in LC-MS/MS bioanalysis to determine cyproheptadine concentrations. PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax, t1/2, AUC, bioavailability) are calculated. The standard is also used in tissue distribution and metabolism studies.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PK properties of cyproheptadine: after oral administration, it is well-absorbed but undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism (oral bioavailability ~30-50%). Tmax is 1-3 h. Plasma protein binding is high (95-98%). It is extensively metabolized by CYP450 enzymes (primarily CYP3A4, CYP2D6) to several active and inactive metabolites, including desmethylcyproheptadine. The terminal elimination half-life is 8-12 h. Excretion occurs mainly via urine and feces. The deuterated standard co-elutes with the analyte, ensuring accurate PK parameter determination.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No toxicity data are reported for the deuterated standard. The unlabeled cyproheptadine has a well-characterized safety profile: common adverse effects include drowsiness, sedation, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, urinary retention, and increased appetite (which can lead to weight gain). It may cause CNS depression, especially in combination with alcohol or other CNS depressants. The labeled compound is for research use only and not intended for human therapeutic administration. It is non-hazardous for transport under normal laboratory conditions.

| Additional Infomation |
Cyproheptadine-d3 is a research standard and not an active drug substance. The unlabeled cyproheptadine (Periactin) is FDA-approved for the treatment of allergic reactions (urticaria, pruritus) and as an appetite stimulant for weight gain in underweight individuals and cachexia. It is also used off-label for serotonin syndrome, migraine prophylaxis, and cyclic vomiting syndrome. The deuterated standard is used for analytical method development, method validation (AMV), quality control (QC), and abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) submissions for cyproheptadine-containing pharmaceutical products. It is essential for therapeutic drug monitoring and clinical PK studies.
