| Targets |
No specific drug target; serves as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard and tracer for tyrosine metabolism studies. L-tyrosine is a precursor for catecholamine neurotransmitters.
|

| 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 stable isotope-labeled compound, L-Tyrosine-3,5-13C2 exhibits identical chemical properties to unlabeled L-tyrosine. The non-labeled L-tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid which can inhibit citrate synthase activity in the posterior cortex. It serves as a precursor for the synthesis of catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine), thyroid hormones, and melanin. |
| ln Vivo |
The non-labeled L-tyrosine is an amino acid used as a dietary supplement to support cognitive function under stress conditions, as well as a precursor for neurotransmitter synthesis. It is also used clinically in the treatment of tyrosine metabolism disorders such as tyrosinemia and as an adjunct in the management of phenylketonuria (PKU). However, it is not approved as a drug for other indications.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Receptor binding assays are not applicable. Standard analytical protocols using L-Tyrosine-3,5-13C2 involve its use as an internal standard for LC-MS/MS or GC-MS quantification of L-tyrosine in biological matrices. Samples (plasma, urine, tissue homogenates) are processed by protein precipitation with acetonitrile or methanol, derivatized (e.g., with dansyl chloride or AQC for fluorescence detection), separated on a C18 column, and analyzed by MRM in positive ion mode.
|
| Cell Assay |
For metabolic studies, cultured cells (e.g., hepatocytes, neuronal cells, or tumor cells) are treated with L-Tyrosine-3,5-13C2 at concentrations of 50-500 uM for 1-24 hours. Cellular metabolites are extracted and analyzed by LC-MS to trace 13C incorporation into downstream metabolites including L-DOPA, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, thyroid hormones, and fumarate/acetoacetate via tyrosine metabolism pathways.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo metabolic flux studies in rodents involve administration of L-Tyrosine-3,5-13C2 via oral gavage or intravenous injection (10-100 mg/kg). Blood samples are collected at multiple time points (0-8 hours). Tissues including liver, brain, adrenal glands, and thyroid may be harvested. Isotopic enrichment of tyrosine and its metabolites (tyramine, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine) is quantified by LC-MS/MS to study catecholamine synthesis and tyrosine metabolism.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As an analytical internal standard, pharmacokinetic properties are not directly assessed. The non-labeled L-tyrosine is a naturally occurring amino acid with rapid absorption from the gastrointestinal tract via amino acid transporters. Its plasma concentration is tightly regulated and typically ranges from 50-100 uM. Tyrosine is metabolized primarily in the liver via the tyrosine aminotransferase pathway. Plasma half-life in humans is approximately 1-2 hours.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity data for the labeled compound are not available as it is used only as an analytical standard at tracer concentrations. The non-labeled L-tyrosine is a naturally occurring amino acid essential for protein synthesis and is generally considered safe at physiological levels. Very high doses (>150 mg/kg) may cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Individuals with tyrosinemia should avoid tyrosine supplementation.

| Additional Infomation |
L-Tyrosine-3,5-13C2 is a stable isotope-labeled compound used exclusively for research and bioanalytical applications. It serves as an essential internal standard for the accurate quantification of L-tyrosine in biological samples using mass spectrometry. This compound is valuable for pharmacokinetic studies of tyrosine-containing drugs and peptides, for metabolic studies of tyrosine metabolism disorders (tyrosinemia, alkaptonuria), and for studying catecholamine biosynthesis in neuroscience research. It is not a therapeutic agent.
