| Targets |
MQCA-d4 does not have a specific biological target as it is an analytical standard. Its non-deuterated form, MQCA, is a metabolite of quinoxaline antibiotics that do not exert direct pharmacological effects. MQCA is used as a marker for the presence of these antibiotics in animal products. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard for the quantification of MQCA in food and 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 does not possess in vitro biological activity. MQCA is a metabolite of quinoxaline antibiotics and is not pharmacologically active. The labeled compound is used as an analytical standard for food safety testing. |
| ln Vivo |
MQCA-d4 does not have in vivo biological activity and is not used for therapeutic purposes. MQCA is a marker residue used to monitor the use of quinoxaline antibiotics in food-producing animals. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard for the quantification of MQCA in food safety testing.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro assays for MQCA-d4 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 LC-MS/MS analysis of MQCA in animal tissues, feed, or food products. The compound is added to samples before extraction and cleanup procedures. Quantification is performed by monitoring specific mass transitions for the labeled and unlabeled compounds.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based experiments are not performed with MQCA-d4, as it is an analytical standard.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with MQCA-d4. When used in residue analysis, the labeled compound serves as an internal standard for the quantification of MQCA in animal tissues or biological fluids.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of MQCA-d4 are not characterized, as it is not a drug substance. MQCA is a metabolite of quinoxaline antibiotics that is excreted in urine and feces. The labeled compound is used as an internal standard for food safety testing.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for MQCA-d4 are not available. Quinoxaline antibiotics have been associated with toxicity, and MQCA is monitored as a marker residue. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.

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.
