| Targets |
Glycolic acid-d2 targets tyrosinase, the key enzyme in melanin biosynthesis. As a deuterated form of glycolic acid, it is expected to have the same mechanism of action, inhibiting tyrosinase activity and suppressing melanin formation. Glycolic acid is also known to exfoliate the skin by disrupting the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover.

|---|---|
| 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].
Glycolic acid-d2 is expected to demonstrate similar in vitro activity to glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is an inhibitor of tyrosinase, suppressing melanin formation. It also has exfoliating properties. As a deuterated compound, Glycolic acid-d2 is primarily used as an analytical standard rather than for activity assays. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for Glycolic acid-d2 are not documented. Glycolic acid is widely used in cosmetic and dermatological products for its exfoliating and skin-lightening effects. As a deuterated compound, Glycolic acid-d2 is not typically used for efficacy studies; its primary purpose is analytical.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The use of Glycolic acid-d2 in in vitro experiments is primarily analytical. It is used as an internal standard in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods for the quantification of glycolic acid in biological samples. The compound is added to samples at a known concentration, and the ratio of glycolic acid to Glycolic acid-d2 is used to calculate the concentration of glycolic acid. This approach corrects for variations in sample preparation and instrument performance.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays are not typically performed with Glycolic acid-d2, as the compound is primarily used as an analytical standard. If cellular studies were performed, they would be similar to those for glycolic acid, assessing tyrosinase inhibition or exfoliation effects. However, the primary use of Glycolic acid-d2 is in analytical chemistry, not in cellular activity assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Glycolic acid-d2 is used in pharmacokinetic studies in animals and humans. The compound is administered as a tracer, and blood or tissue samples are collected at various time points. The concentration of Glycolic acid-d2 is measured by LC-MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as Cmax, Tmax, half-life, and AUC are calculated. The deuterium label allows for the tracking of glycolic acid and its metabolites.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The pharmacokinetic properties of Glycolic acid-d2 are similar to those of glycolic acid. As a small molecule with a molecular weight of 78.06, glycolic acid is well absorbed and distributed. It is metabolized and excreted. Glycolic acid-d2 is used as an internal standard in pharmacokinetic studies to accurately measure glycolic acid concentrations.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Glycolic acid-d2 is a stable isotope-labeled compound with a molecular weight of 78.06. It is stable if stored under recommended conditions. As a labeled compound, it is not typically used for toxicology studies; its primary use is analytical. Glycolic acid-d2 is for research use only and not for human use.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (32.03 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix well; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 and mix well; finally add 450 μL of physiological saline and adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (32.03 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD saline and mix well. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
