Product Description
Ramelteon metabolite M-II-d3 is the deuterium labelled form of Ramelteon metabolite M-II. Ramelteon metabolite M-II is the major metabolite of Ramelteon, and its IC50s for human melatonin receptor 1 and 2 are 208 pM and 1470 pM respectively. Ramelteon is a selective agonist of melatonin receptors.
Ramelteon metabolite M-II-d3 is the deuterium-labeled form of Ramelteon metabolite M-II, the major metabolite of the melatonin receptor agonist ramelteon. Ramelteon metabolite M-II exhibits potent activity at human melatonin receptors, with IC50 values of 208 pM for melatonin receptor 1 and 1470 pM for melatonin receptor 2. The deuterium labeling involves the substitution of three hydrogen atoms with deuterium at the hydroxy position. This isotopic labeling does not significantly alter the pharmacological properties of the metabolite but allows for its use as an internal standard in analytical methods such as mass spectrometry for the quantification of ramelteon and its metabolites in biological samples. Ramelteon is a selective melatonin receptor agonist used for the treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulty with sleep onset. The M-II metabolite is the major active metabolite of ramelteon and contributes to the pharmacological activity of the parent drug. The deuterated form, Ramelteon metabolite M-II-d3, is used in research to study the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of ramelteon, as well as in bioanalytical method development. The compound is supplied as a research reagent with a purity suitable for analytical and pharmacological studies. It is not intended for human therapeutic use and is strictly for research purposes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Human melatonin receptor 1 and melatonin receptor 2. Ramelteon metabolite M-II is a potent agonist at these receptors.
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].
Ramelteon metabolite M-II, the non-deuterated form, exhibits IC50 values of 208 pM for human melatonin receptor 1 and 1470 pM for human melatonin receptor 2. The deuterated form, Ramelteon metabolite M-II-d3, is expected to exhibit similar pharmacological properties due to the minimal isotopic effect of deuterium substitution.
ln Vivo
Ramelteon metabolite M-II is the major active metabolite of ramelteon and contributes to the pharmacological activity of the parent drug in vivo. Ramelteon is used for the treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulty with sleep onset.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays are performed to determine the affinity of Ramelteon metabolite M-II for melatonin receptors. Radioligand binding studies using membrane preparations from cells expressing the receptors are conducted. The compound's ability to displace a specific radiolabeled ligand from each receptor is measured to calculate its IC50 values.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays are conducted using cells expressing recombinant melatonin receptors. The cells are treated with Ramelteon metabolite M-II, and receptor activation is measured by assessing downstream signaling events such as inhibition of cAMP accumulation.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies involving Ramelteon metabolite M-II-d3 are primarily focused on its role as an analytical standard for pharmacokinetic studies. The deuterated form is used as an internal standard for the quantification of ramelteon and its metabolites in biological samples using mass spectrometry.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Ramelteon metabolite M-II-d3 is used as an internal standard in pharmacokinetic studies to quantify ramelteon and its metabolites in biological samples using mass spectrometry. The compound's deuterium labeling allows for accurate quantification of the metabolite in complex biological matrices.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data are publicly available for Ramelteon metabolite M-II-d3. As a deuterated metabolite of an approved drug, its safety profile is expected to be similar to that of ramelteon.

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)
