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.

| Additional Infomation |
Promethazine-d4 hydrochloride is a deuterated analog of Promethazine, a first-generation antihistamine. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of promethazine by GC- or LC-MS. The compound features the replacement of four hydrogen atoms with deuterium, providing a distinct mass shift for accurate mass spectrometry analysis. It is not a therapeutic agent and is strictly for research purposes. The compound is sensitive to light and should be stored appropriately.
