Product Description
4-Methylpentanoic acid-d12 is the deuterium labelled form of 4-Methylpentanoic acid. 4-Methylpentanoic acid (Isocaproic Acid) is a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA).
4-Methylpentanoic acid-d12 (CAS 116287-57-1), also known as isocaproic acid-d12, is the deuterium-labeled form of 4-methylpentanoic acid (isocaproic acid). Its molecular formula is C₆H₀D₁₂O₂ with a molecular weight of approximately 128.23. The compound contains 12 deuterium atoms, fully replacing all hydrogen atoms. 4-Methylpentanoic acid is a branched-chain fatty acid that is a metabolite of leucine and is found in various biological fluids. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard in analytical and metabolic studies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
4-Methylpentanoic acid-d12 does not have a specific biological target as it is an analytical standard. Its non-deuterated form, 4-methylpentanoic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid that is a metabolite of the essential amino acid leucine. It is not a pharmacologically active compound but serves as a biomarker for metabolic disorders such as isovaleric acidemia. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard for the quantification of 4-methylpentanoic acid in biological samples.
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 in vitro biological activity. 4-Methylpentanoic acid is a fatty acid that can be metabolized by cells, but it is not used as a pharmacological agent. The labeled compound is used as an analytical standard for the quantification of the metabolite in biological fluids, not for evaluating its own activity.
ln Vivo
4-Methylpentanoic acid-d12 does not have in vivo biological activity and is not used for therapeutic purposes. Its non-deuterated form, 4-methylpentanoic acid, is a metabolite that accumulates in certain metabolic disorders. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard for the quantification of the metabolite in clinical and research settings.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for 4-methylpentanoic acid-d12 focus on its use as an analytical standard. A standard protocol involves preparing a solution of the compound in an appropriate solvent (e.g., methanol) and using it as an internal standard for GC-MS or LC-MS/MS analysis of 4-methylpentanoic acid in biological samples (e.g., plasma, urine). The compound is added to samples before extraction and derivatization procedures. Quantification is performed by monitoring specific mass transitions for the labeled and unlabeled compounds.
Cell Assay
Cell-based experiments are not performed with 4-methylpentanoic acid-d12, as it is an analytical standard.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with 4-methylpentanoic acid-d12. When used in metabolic studies, the labeled compound serves as an internal standard for the quantification of 4-methylpentanoic acid in animal plasma or urine samples.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 4-methylpentanoic acid-d12 are not characterized, as it is not a drug substance. 4-Methylpentanoic acid is a normal metabolite of leucine that is further metabolized via β-oxidation. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard for metabolic studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 4-methylpentanoic acid-d12 are not available. 4-Methylpentanoic acid is a normal metabolite with low toxicity. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
