| Targets |
As a labeled amino acid, L-Lysine-d4 HCl does not have a specific pharmacological target. L-Lysine itself is an essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis, calcium absorption, and the production of carnitine and collagen. The deuterated form is used to trace lysine metabolism and its role in various biological pathways, including protein synthesis and growth repair processes.

| 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].
L-Lysine-d4 HCl is used in vitro as a tracer to study lysine metabolism and protein synthesis. The compound is incorporated into cell culture media to track amino acid uptake, incorporation into proteins, and metabolic fate. It does not exhibit intrinsic pharmacological activity but serves as a quantitative tool for studying cellular metabolism and the role of lysine in various biological processes. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, L-Lysine-d4 HCl is used in metabolic studies to trace lysine absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. The compound has been used in the labeling of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for analysis. The deuterium label allows for precise quantification of lysine and its metabolites in biological fluids and tissues using mass spectrometry.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
As an analytical standard, L-Lysine-d4 HCl is used in enzyme assays and receptor-binding studies where lysine serves as a substrate or ligand. Typical protocols involve incubating the labeled compound with enzyme preparations or receptor proteins, followed by separation and quantification using LC-MS/MS. The compound serves as an internal standard to correct for matrix effects and instrument variability.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell culture experiments using L-Lysine-d4 HCl involve supplementing growth media with the labeled amino acid at defined concentrations. Cells are cultured for specified periods, after which the incorporation of deuterium-labeled lysine into cellular proteins is analyzed by mass spectrometry. The compound can also be used to study lysine transport and metabolism in various cell types.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies typically involve administering L-Lysine-d4 HCl to rodents via oral gavage or intravenous injection. Blood, urine, and tissue samples are collected at various time points to track the distribution and metabolism of lysine. The deuterium label allows for precise quantification of lysine and its metabolites using mass spectrometry.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
L-Lysine-d4 HCl exhibits pharmacokinetic properties similar to those of unlabeled L-lysine. As an essential amino acid, it is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract via specific amino acid transporters and distributed throughout the body. It is metabolized primarily in the liver and excreted in urine. The deuterium label provides a distinct mass shift for analytical detection without significantly altering the compound's physicochemical properties.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
L-Lysine-d4 HCl is considered safe for research use at typical concentrations. Unlabeled L-lysine is an essential amino acid with a well-established safety profile. The compound is classified as a combustible solid (Storage Class 11). As a stable isotope-labeled compound, it is not intended for therapeutic use and is handled under standard laboratory safety practices.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
