Product Description
Promethazine-d4 ( HCl) is the deuterated form of Promethazine HCl. Promethazine HCl is a first-generation antihistamine active molecule, a potent H1 receptor antagonist and a mAChR antagonist. It also has a certain affinity for 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, D2 and _alpha_1-adrenergic receptors.
Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride is a deuterated analog of Promethazine, a first-generation antihistamine with sedative, antiemetic, and anticholinergic properties. The compound features the strategic replacement of four hydrogen atoms with deuterium atoms, resulting in a molecular formula of C17H17D4ClN2S and a molecular weight of 324.90 g/mol. This isotopic labeling does not significantly alter the pharmacological properties of the compound but provides a distinct mass shift that is detectable by mass spectrometry. Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride is primarily intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of promethazine by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). It is supplied as a solid, off-white to yellow crystalline powder with an isotopic purity of 98 atom % D and a chemical purity of min 97%. The compound is soluble in water (100 mg/mL) and DMSO (50 mg/mL) with sonication. It is sensitive to light and slowly oxidizes on prolonged exposure to air. Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride is not a therapeutic agent and is strictly for research purposes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
H1 Receptor
Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride does not have a distinct pharmacological target separate from unlabeled Promethazine. Promethazine acts as a histamine H1 receptor antagonist (Ki = 0.98 nM for the human receptor) and also exhibits anticholinergic and antiemetic properties.
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].
As a deuterated internal standard, Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride does not exhibit pharmacological activity distinct from that of unlabeled Promethazine. The deuterium labeling does not significantly alter the biological activity of the compound. Promethazine itself is a potent H1 receptor antagonist that blocks the effects of histamine, and also has anticholinergic and antiemetic effects. In research applications, the deuterated form is used for analytical purposes and is not typically used in functional assays to study its pharmacological activity.
ln Vivo
Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride is not used as a pharmacologically active compound in vivo. Unlabeled Promethazine is used clinically as an antihistamine, antiemetic, and sedative. It is well-absorbed and widely distributed, crossing the blood-brain barrier to exert its central effects. Promethazine-d4 is used as an internal standard in pharmacokinetic studies to accurately measure the concentration of Promethazine in biological samples.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays are not typically performed with Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride as it is used as an analytical standard. However, for unlabeled Promethazine, radioligand binding studies using membrane preparations from cells expressing the H1 receptor are conducted to determine its binding affinity. The compound's ability to displace a specific radiolabeled H1 antagonist, such as [3H]-mepyramine, is measured to calculate its Ki value (0.98 nM for the human receptor).
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays are not typically performed with Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride as it is used as an analytical standard. Unlabeled Promethazine is used in cell-based assays to study its antihistamine and anticholinergic effects. These assays involve treating cells expressing H1 or muscarinic receptors with Promethazine and measuring its ability to inhibit agonist-induced responses.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not typically performed with Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride as it is used as an analytical standard. Unlabeled Promethazine is used in animal models to study its antihistamine, antiemetic, and sedative effects. Promethazine-d4 is used as an internal standard in pharmacokinetic studies in animals to quantify the concentration of Promethazine in blood, plasma, or tissues.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride is used as an internal standard for the quantification of promethazine in biological matrices using GC-MS or LC-MS. As a deuterated compound, it exhibits practically identical chemical properties to unlabeled Promethazine, making it an ideal internal standard. Its use improves the accuracy and precision of analytical methods by correcting for variations in sample preparation, injection volume, and ionization efficiency. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions (4°C, sealed from moisture).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data are publicly available for Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride. As a deuterated form of Promethazine, its toxicity profile is expected to be similar to that of unlabeled Promethazine. Promethazine is generally well-tolerated, but common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and blurred vision. At higher doses, it may cause more severe anticholinergic effects and central nervous system depression. The deuterium labeling does not introduce any additional toxicity.
