| Targets |
(S)-(+)-O-Desmethyl Venlafaxine-d6 has no independent pharmacological target as a stable isotope internal standard. The unlabeled (S)-(+)-O-Desmethyl Venlafaxine is an active metabolite of venlafaxine and targets the serotonin transporter (SERT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET), inhibiting the reuptake of these neurotransmitters. This results in increased synaptic levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, contributing to its antidepressant effects.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
As a stable isotope-labeled internal standard, (S)-(+)-O-Desmethyl Venlafaxine-d6 is not tested for standalone in vitro pharmacological activity. The unlabeled (S)-O-desmethylvenlafaxine has a Ki of 52 nM for SERT and 558 nM for NET, making it a relatively balanced SNRI. In cell-based assays, the metabolite inhibits serotonin and norepinephrine uptake with IC50 values in the submicromolar range, contributing to the overall antidepressant effect of venlafaxine.
|
| ln Vivo |
(S)-(+)-O-Desmethyl Venlafaxine-d6 has no independent in vivo pharmacological activity as a therapeutic agent. The unlabeled metabolite is the major active metabolite of venlafaxine, reaching steady-state plasma concentrations approximately 2-3 times higher than the parent drug. It contributes significantly to the antidepressant efficacy in patients with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and social anxiety disorder.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For in vitro LC-MS/MS quantification, (S)-(+)-O-Desmethyl Venlafaxine-d6 is dissolved in an appropriate solvent (methanol, water, or 0.1% formic acid) to prepare a stock solution (e.g., 1 mg/mL). The internal standard is added to biological samples (plasma, serum, urine, cell lysates) at a fixed concentration (e.g., 10-500 ng/mL). Protein precipitation is performed by adding 3-5 volumes of methanol or acetonitrile containing the internal standard. After centrifugation (10,000-15,000 rpm, 10 minutes), the supernatant is analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The analyte-to-internal standard peak area ratio is used for quantification.
|
| Cell Assay |
(S)-(+)-O-Desmethyl Venlafaxine-d6 is not used as a treatment in cell-based studies but as an analytical standard. Cells (e.g., HEK293 cells expressing SERT or NET, or SH-SY5Y neuronal cells) are treated with venlafaxine or other test compounds. After the treatment period, cell lysates or culture supernatants are collected. The internal standard is added at a fixed concentration to each sample. Following protein precipitation and centrifugation, samples are analyzed by LC-MS/MS to quantify O-desmethylvenlafaxine levels and assess cellular metabolism of venlafaxine.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo pharmacokinetic studies, (S)-(+)-O-Desmethyl Venlafaxine-d6 is not administered to animals independently. It is used as an internal standard for quantifying O-desmethylvenlafaxine in biological samples obtained from animals treated with venlafaxine. After collection of plasma, urine, or tissue homogenates, the internal standard is added at a fixed concentration. Samples are processed by protein precipitation or solid-phase extraction and analyzed by LC-MS/MS to determine absolute O-desmethylvenlafaxine concentrations for ADME and PK studies.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As an internal standard, (S)-(+)-O-Desmethyl Venlafaxine-d6 has no independent pharmacokinetic parameters. The unlabeled O-desmethylvenlafaxine has a plasma half-life of approximately 10-12 hours in humans, longer than venlafaxine (∼5 hours). It is primarily eliminated renally (∼40-50% unchanged). Steady-state concentrations are achieved within 3 days of dosing. The metabolite crosses the blood-brain barrier and reaches therapeutic concentrations in the CNS. Venlafaxine is ∼27% protein bound; O-desmethylvenlafaxine is ∼30% bound.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
(S)-(+)-O-Desmethyl Venlafaxine-d6 is a stable isotope-labeled internal standard with low toxicity as it is used at trace concentrations (ug-mg quantities). Venlafaxine and its metabolite O-desmethylvenlafaxine are generally well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. Common side effects include nausea, headache, dry mouth, dizziness, and somnolence. The deuterated version is chemically identical and poses no additional toxicity risk. Standard laboratory safety precautions apply. Not for human consumption.

| Additional Infomation |
(S)-(+)-O-Desmethyl Venlafaxine-d6 is not a drug but a deuterium-labeled stable isotope internal standard. It has no approved therapeutic status and is not intended for human consumption. It is used for analytical method development, method validation (AMV), Quality Controlled (QC) application for Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA), or during commercial production of venlafaxine. It is also used for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of venlafaxine and its metabolite in clinical settings and for forensic toxicology analysis.
