Product Description
Trazodone-d6 (HCl) is the deuterium labelled form of Trazodone HCl.
Trazodone-d6 hydrochloride (CAS 1181578-71-1) is the deuterium-labeled form of trazodone hydrochloride, an antidepressant belonging to the class of serotonin receptor antagonists and reuptake inhibitors (SARIs). Its molecular formula is C₁₉H₁₇D₆Cl₂N₅O with a molecular weight of approximately 414.36. Trazodone-d6 hydrochloride contains six deuterium atoms on the propyl side chain and is used as an internal standard in pharmacokinetic and bioanalytical studies to accurately quantify trazodone in biological samples using mass spectrometry. It is a high-purity compound (>98%) intended for research use only.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Trazodone-d6 hydrochloride targets the same molecular targets as its non-deuterated form, trazodone. Trazodone is a serotonin receptor antagonist and reuptake inhibitor that exerts its antidepressant effects primarily through antagonism of 5-HT₂A receptors and inhibition of the serotonin transporter (SERT). It also has antagonistic properties against α₁- and α₂-adrenergic receptors and histamine H₁ receptors, with minimal anticholinergic effects. The labeled compound is used as a tracer to study the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of trazodone.
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].
The deuterated compound itself does not possess intrinsic pharmacological activity in vitro; its biological activity is identical to that of trazodone. Trazodone is a potent 5-HT₂A receptor antagonist with a Kᵢ of approximately 35 nM and inhibits serotonin reuptake with an IC₅₀ of approximately 200 nM. In vitro studies have demonstrated that trazodone effectively blocks serotonin-induced calcium mobilization in cells expressing 5-HT₂A receptors. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard for quantifying trazodone in biological samples, not for evaluating its own pharmacological activity.
ln Vivo
Trazodone-d6 hydrochloride is not used as a therapeutic agent; its non-deuterated form, trazodone, is an orally active antidepressant used for the treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. Trazodone also has sedative properties and is sometimes used off-label for insomnia. In vivo, trazodone is well-absorbed after oral administration and undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism via cytochrome P450 3A4. The labeled compound is used in pharmacokinetic studies to accurately measure trazodone concentrations in plasma and other biological matrices.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays for trazodone-d6 hydrochloride are not standard, as it is an analytical standard. However, the activity of its non-deuterated form can be assessed using competition binding assays with [³H]ketanserin for 5-HT₂A receptors or [³H]citalopram for SERT. Membranes prepared from cells expressing the target receptors are incubated with varying concentrations of trazodone and the radioligand. Non-specific binding is determined in the presence of excess unlabeled ligand. Bound radioactivity is separated by filtration and quantified by scintillation counting. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell culture experiments are not performed with trazodone-d6 hydrochloride. When studying the effects of trazodone in cellular systems, the non-labeled compound is used. Cells expressing serotonin receptors or the serotonin transporter are treated with trazodone at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 µM, and downstream signaling pathways (e.g., calcium mobilization, cAMP levels) are measured. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard for LC-MS/MS analysis of trazodone concentrations in cell culture media or lysates.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with trazodone-d6 hydrochloride are not conducted, as it is an analytical standard. When used in pharmacokinetic studies, the labeled compound serves as an internal standard for the quantification of trazodone in animal plasma or tissue samples. In typical protocols, animals (e.g., rats or dogs) are administered trazodone, and blood samples are collected at various time points. The labeled internal standard is added to the samples before analysis by LC-MS/MS to ensure accurate and precise quantification.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of trazodone-d6 hydrochloride itself are not characterized, as it is not a drug substance. Trazodone has a bioavailability of approximately 60-80% after oral administration, with a half-life of 6-10 hours in humans. It is metabolized primarily by cytochrome P450 3A4 to its active metabolite, m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP). Trazodone is excreted in urine and feces. The deuterated compound is used as an internal standard to accurately quantify trazodone in pharmacokinetic studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Trazodone-d6 hydrochloride is not a therapeutic agent and has not been evaluated for toxicity in humans. Its non-deuterated form, trazodone, is generally well-tolerated, with common side effects including sedation, dizziness, dry mouth, and headache. Rare but serious side effects include priapism and cardiac arrhythmias. The deuterated compound is for research use only and should be handled with standard laboratory precautions, including the use of gloves and safety glasses.
