Product Description
Gepirone-d8 is the deuterium labelled form of Gepirone.
Gepirone-d8 (2749331-28-8) is a deuterium-labeled form of Gepirone, an azapirone-class 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist with antidepressant and anxiolytic properties. It is used as a stable-isotope reference standard for the quantitative analysis of Gepirone in biological samples via LC-MS/MS in analytical and pharmacokinetic studies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Targets (as internal standard): Isotope-Labeled Compounds / 5-HT1A Receptor. The parent compound Gepirone is a selective serotonin 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist, acting presynaptically to reduce serotonin release in the raphe nuclei, thereby enhancing serotonergic neurotransmission in the forebrain, which is associated with mood regulation and anxiety reduction.
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].
No direct in vitro activity is reported for the labeled standard. The unlabeled Gepirone binds to the 5-HT1A receptor with high affinity (Ki values in the low nanomolar range) and exhibits partial agonist activity. It also has some affinity for dopamine D2 receptors, but lower than for 5-HT1A. The labeled compound is analytically inert and used only for quantitation.
ln Vivo
In vivo, the unlabeled Gepirone is orally active and has demonstrated antidepressant and anxiolytic efficacy in animal models such as the forced swim test, tail suspension test, and elevated plus maze. It does not cause significant sedation or cognitive impairment at therapeutic doses. The deuterated standard is not itself administered in vivo for efficacy studies.
Enzyme Assay
For cell-free assay: plasma, serum, or urine samples are spiked with Gepirone-d8 internal standard. After protein precipitation with acetonitrile or methanol, the samples are centrifuged, and the supernatant is injected into an LC-MS/MS system. Quantitation of the analyte (gepirone) is achieved by comparing the analyte peak area to the internal standard peak area.
Cell Assay
No cell-based assays are performed with the deuterated standard. The unlabeled Gepirone is tested in cell lines expressing the human 5-HT1A receptor (e.g., CHO or HEK293 cells). Receptor activation is measured by inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation via a luminescent or fluorescence-based cAMP assay (e.g., HTRF, AlphaScreen). EC50 values for partial agonism are determined from dose-response curves.
Animal Protocol
No animal studies are conducted with the labeled internal standard. For PK and metabolic studies of Gepirone in animals (rats, dogs), plasma samples are collected after oral or IV administration of the parent drug. The internal standard (Gepirone-d8) is used in LC-MS/MS bioanalysis to accurately quantify the concentration of gepirone and its active metabolites (e.g., 1-pyrimidinylpiperazine, 1-PP).
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
PK properties of parent Gepirone: rapid absorption after oral administration (Tmax 1-2 hours), extensive first-pass metabolism, high plasma protein binding (~95%), and a short elimination half-life (approx. 2-4 hours). It is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 to its active metabolite 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazine (1-PP). The deuterated standard co-elutes with the analyte, ensuring accurate PK parameter determination.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicity data are reported for the deuterated standard. Parent Gepirone has a well-characterized safety profile from clinical trials, including common adverse effects such as dizziness, nausea, headache, and somnolence. Unlike benzodiazepines, it does not cause significant sedation, dependence, or withdrawal. The labeled compound is for research use only and not for human administration.

Additional Infomation
Gepirone-d8 is a research standard and is not an active drug substance. It is used for analytical method development, validation (AMV), and quality control (QC) applications for Gepirone. The unlabeled Gepirone has been investigated for major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and has received positive opinions from the FDA, though full approval is pending. The labeled compound is an essential tool for bioanalytical method development and clinical pharmacokinetic studies.
