Product Description
Nitrilotriacetic acid-d9 is the deuterated form of Nitrilotriacetic acid. Nitrilotriacetic acid is an aminotricarboxylic acid. Nitrilotriacetic acid could be utilized as a chelating agent to form coordination compounds with metal ions.
Nitrilotriacetic acid-d9 (NTA-d9) is the deuterium-labeled form of nitrilotriacetic acid (CAS 139-13-9), where nine hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium (C6D9NO6, MW 200.19). NTA is an aminotricarboxylic acid that acts as a chelating agent, forming stable coordination complexes with metal ions. The d9-labeled version is used as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard for analytical and environmental chemistry applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Not applicable. Nitrilotriacetic acid-d9 is not a pharmacologically active drug; it is an analytical standard. The unlabeled compound (nitrilotriacetic acid) is a chelating agent that targets metal ions, forming coordination complexes by binding to divalent and trivalent metal cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, and Zn2+. It functions as a hexadentate ligand, using its three carboxylate groups and the tertiary amine nitrogen atom to coordinate metals.
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 unlabeled nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) demonstrates potent metal-chelating activity. It is widely used in biochemical research to immobilize histidine-tagged proteins via Ni2+-NTA complexes (immobilized metal affinity chromatography, IMAC). NTA also finds applications in water softening, detergent formulations, and as a heavy metal chelator. The d9-labeled version has no biological activity and is used solely as an analytical standard.
ln Vivo
Not applicable (no in vivo biological activity). Nitrilotriacetic acid-d9 is not intended for in vivo pharmacological studies. The unlabeled compound (NTA) has been studied for its environmental persistence and potential toxicity due to its metal-chelating properties, which can mobilize heavy metals. However, the d9-labeled version is exclusively an analytical internal standard used for quantitation in environmental and biological matrices, not a therapeutic agent.
Enzyme Assay
Not applicable. As an analytical standard, Nitrilotriacetic acid-d9 is used in LC-MS/MS methods for the quantification of NTA in environmental and biological samples. A typical non-cellular workflow involves: preparing the d9-labeled compound as an internal standard; adding it to water, soil, or biological fluid samples; performing solid-phase extraction (SPE) to isolate NTA; derivatization (if required); separation by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) or reversed-phase HPLC; and detection by mass spectrometry using selected reaction monitoring (SRM).
Cell Assay
Not applicable. Nitrilotriacetic acid-d9 is not used in standard cell-based assays for pharmacological purposes. While the unlabeled NTA is used in cell culture to prepare metal-chelate resins for protein purification, the d9-labeled version is an analytical standard. It may be used in cell lysate or culture medium as a spiked internal standard for quantitation, but not as a treatment to study cellular responses.
Animal Protocol
Not applicable. Nitrilotriacetic acid-d9 is not used in animal experiments as a therapeutic agent. It is exclusively an analytical standard for in vitro measurement. In environmental studies, the unlabeled NTA has been administered to animals to study its toxicokinetics and chelation effects, but the d9-labeled version serves only as an internal standard for quantifying NTA levels in such studies when analyzing tissue or fluid samples by mass spectrometry.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Not applicable. Nitrilotriacetic acid-d9 is not a drug candidate; therefore, no pharmacokinetic parameters are reported. The compound is supplied as a solid powder with a melting point of 245degC (lit.). It is stable for up to 3 years when stored at -20degC and for up to 2 years at 4degC. It is stable at ambient temperature for several days during ordinary shipping. For in vivo formulation, it can be dissolved in DMSO and further diluted in PEG300, Tween 80, and saline.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Not applicable. Toxicity studies are not performed for analytical reference standards like Nitrilotriacetic acid-d9 as they are not intended for human consumption. However, the unlabeled compound (NTA) is known to be a potential carcinogen and can cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. It has been classified as a possible human carcinogen. Therefore, the d9-labeled standard should be handled with caution using appropriate personal protective equipment in a well-ventilated laboratory.

Additional Infomation
Nitrilotriacetic acid-d9 is a stable isotope-labeled internal standard used for the quantitative analysis of NTA in environmental, biological, and industrial applications. The unlabeled NTA is widely used as a chelating agent in detergents, water treatment, and biochemical research (e.g., Ni-NTA affinity chromatography for His-tagged protein purification). The d9-labeled version is not a drug and has no approved therapeutic indications, but it is a valuable tool for environmental monitoring and toxicological studies.
