| Targets |
As a metabolite of Clomipramine, N-Desmethyl Clomipramine retains activity at serotonin and norepinephrine transporters (SERT and NET). It functions as a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, contributing to the antidepressant effects of the parent drug. The compound also interacts with various neurotransmitter receptors including histaminergic, muscarinic, and adrenergic receptors, which may contribute to its side effect profile.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
N-Desmethyl Clomipramine hydrochloride (Desmethylclomipramine hydrochloride) is a primary plasma N-desmethyl metabolite of Clomipramine. Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) used for the treatment of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The N-desmethyl metabolite contributes to the pharmacological activity of the parent drug, particularly in terms of norepinephrine reuptake inhibition. The deuterated form (D3) is chemically identical to the non-deuterated form but has a distinct mass for analytical detection.
|
| ln Vivo |
As a metabolite and analytical standard, N-Desmethyl Clomipramine D3 hydrochloride is not typically evaluated for in vivo pharmacological activity in animal models. Its primary use is as an internal standard in bioanalytical assays. The non-deuterated metabolite, N-Desmethyl Clomipramine, is pharmacologically active and contributes to the antidepressant effects of Clomipramine in vivo. Pharmacokinetic studies using the deuterated compound as an internal standard enable accurate quantification of the parent drug and its metabolites in biological samples.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not typically performed for the deuterated metabolite as it is used primarily as an analytical standard. For the non-deuterated metabolite, binding assays at serotonin transporters (SERT) and norepinephrine transporters (NET) can be performed using membrane preparations from cells expressing these transporters. Radioligand binding assays using [³H]-imipramine or [³H]-nisoxetine are used to determine affinity at SERT and NET, respectively. Competition binding experiments with varying concentrations of N-Desmethyl Clomipramine are conducted, and IC50 values are calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
No specific cell-based assay protocols are documented for N-Desmethyl Clomipramine D3 hydrochloride. For cellular activity assessment of the non-deuterated metabolite, neurotransmitter uptake inhibition assays can be performed using cells expressing human serotonin or norepinephrine transporters. Cells are incubated with varying concentrations of the compound and [³H]-serotonin or [³H]-norepinephrine. Uptake is measured by scintillation counting after washing. The deuterated compound is not typically used in such assays as its purpose is analytical rather than pharmacological.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Animal studies are not typically conducted with the deuterated metabolite. The compound is used as an internal standard in pharmacokinetic studies, where it is spiked into biological samples (plasma, urine, tissues) from animals or humans dosed with Clomipramine. Sample preparation involves protein precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction, or solid-phase extraction followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. The deuterated internal standard corrects for matrix effects, extraction recovery, and ionization efficiency, ensuring accurate quantification of the parent drug and its metabolites.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The deuterated compound has a molecular weight of 340.31, which is 3 Da higher than the non-deuterated form (337.31). This mass difference allows for differentiation in mass spectrometric detection. The compound is intended for research and analytical applications, including method development, method validation (AMV), and Quality Controlled (QC) applications for ANDA filings. It should be stored as powder at -20°C for up to 3 years or in solution at -80°C for up to 1 year.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data are documented for N-Desmethyl Clomipramine D3 hydrochloride. As a deuterated analytical standard, the compound is used in trace amounts in bioanalytical assays and poses minimal exposure risk. The non-deuterated metabolite, N-Desmethyl Clomipramine, has a safety profile similar to that of Clomipramine, including potential for cardiotoxicity, sedation, anticholinergic effects, and seizure risk at high doses. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed when handling the compound.
