Product Description
Naltrexone-d4 is the deuterium labelled form of Naltrexone. Naltrexone is a mu, kappa, delta and sigma-opioid receptor blocker (antagonist).
Naltrexone-d4 is the deuterium labeled form of naltrexone, a mu, kappa, delta, and sigma opioid receptor antagonist. With a molecular weight of 345.43 and formula C20H19D4NO4, this isotopically labeled compound is intended for use in analytical method development, method validation, quality control, and as an internal standard for the quantification of naltrexone. Naltrexone is clinically used for alcohol dependence and opioid dependence. Naltrexone-d4 is for research purposes only and is not for human therapeutic use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Naltrexone-d4 targets mu, kappa, delta, and sigma opioid receptors as a potent antagonist. As a deuterated form of naltrexone, it retains the same pharmacological activity as the parent compound, which is a competitive antagonist at opioid receptors. Naltrexone blocks the effects of opioid agonists by displacing them from opioid receptors. The deuterium labeling does not significantly alter the binding affinity or pharmacological profile of the compound, making it suitable as an analytical standard. The compound's mechanism involves competitive antagonism at multiple opioid receptor subtypes.
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 studies of Naltrexone-d4 are primarily focused on its use as an analytical standard rather than its pharmacological activity. As a deuterated analog of naltrexone, it retains the same receptor binding properties as the parent compound. Naltrexone is a potent opioid receptor antagonist that competitively binds to mu, kappa, delta, and sigma opioid receptors. In vitro characterization includes receptor binding assays to confirm its affinity and selectivity for opioid receptors. The compound is used in analytical method development and validation for the quantification of naltrexone in biological samples.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of Naltrexone-d4 are limited, as the compound is primarily used as an analytical internal standard rather than for pharmacological studies. As a deuterated form of naltrexone, it would be expected to exhibit the same in vivo activity as the parent compound, which is a potent opioid receptor antagonist used for alcohol dependence and opioid dependence. Naltrexone is administered orally or via intramuscular injection and has a long duration of action. However, Naltrexone-d4 itself is not typically used for in vivo pharmacological studies due to its role as an analytical standard.
Enzyme Assay
For analytical method development, Naltrexone-d4 is used as an internal standard for the quantification of naltrexone by GC-MS or LC-MS. The compound is dissolved in appropriate solvents and spiked into biological samples (e.g., plasma, urine) at known concentrations. Samples are processed using standard extraction procedures (e.g., solid-phase extraction or liquid-liquid extraction). The extracted samples are analyzed by GC-MS or LC-MS with selected ion monitoring (SIM) or multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) for the deuterated and non-deuterated compounds. Calibration curves are generated by plotting the peak area ratio of naltrexone to Naltrexone-d4 against the concentration of naltrexone.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, Naltrexone-d4 is not typically used due to its role as an analytical standard. However, for receptor binding studies, cell lines expressing opioid receptors (e.g., CHO or HEK293 cells) can be cultured in appropriate media under standard conditions (37°C, 5% CO2). Naltrexone-d4 is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in assay buffer to desired concentrations. Receptor binding is assessed using radiolabeled ligands and competition binding assays. Each concentration is tested in replicate wells with vehicle controls and positive controls (e.g., naltrexone).
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies of Naltrexone-d4, no specific protocols are available as the compound is primarily used as an analytical internal standard. For general in vivo administration of naltrexone, the compound is formulated in suitable vehicles and administered via oral gavage or intramuscular injection. Dosing regimens vary by study objective. For opioid dependence studies, animals are treated with opioid agonists and naltrexone, and behavioral and physiological responses are monitored. All procedures must follow institutional animal care and use committee guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Naltrexone-d4 are similar to those of naltrexone. The compound has a molecular weight of 345.43 and formula C20H19D4NO4. CAS number: 2070009-29-7. Storage: typically at -20°C for powder; in solvent at -80°C. Solubility: soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. As a deuterated compound, it is chemically stable and suitable for analytical applications. Specific pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, clearance, and bioavailability are reported for naltrexone in the primary literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
According to available safety information, Naltrexone-d4 is intended for research purposes only and is not for human use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, lab coat, safety goggles). The compound should be handled in a well-ventilated area. Avoid dust formation and inhalation. In case of skin contact, wash with plenty of soap and water. In case of eye contact, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. No clinical toxicity data are available.
