| Targets |
L-Methionine-d3 targets endogenous metabolic pathways involving methionine metabolism. L-Methionine itself plays roles in purine and pyrimidine synthesis, polyamine synthesis, and glutathione production. The compound is used to study metabolic diseases such as homocystinuria and cardiovascular disease.
|
|---|---|
| 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].
L-Methionine can inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis, and exhibits antitumor and antioxidant activity. Studies demonstrate that the deuterated form is comparably active to non-deuterated methionine in certain enzymatic transformations, indicating that deuteration does not hinder enzyme-substrate interactions. |
| ln Vivo |
Stable heavy isotopes such as deuterium have been incorporated into drug molecules largely as tracers for quantitation during drug development. Deuteration may affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs. The compound is used in metabolic tracing studies to elucidate methionine-related pathways.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for L-Methionine-d3 typically involve incubation with relevant enzymes (e.g., methionine adenosyltransferase) in buffered solutions at physiological pH. Enzyme activity is measured by monitoring the conversion of methionine to its metabolites using LC-MS or radiometric detection. The deuterated form serves as an internal standard to correct for matrix effects and ionization efficiency variations. Binding affinity and kinetic parameters (Km, Vmax) are determined by varying substrate concentrations and analyzing reaction rates.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell assays, cells are cultured in methionine-free medium supplemented with L-Methionine-d3 at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 mM. After incubation for 24-72 hours, cell proliferation is assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by flow cytometry using Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. Cellular uptake and metabolism of the labeled methionine are analyzed by LC-MS/MS to track deuterium incorporation into intracellular metabolites and proteins.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies, L-Methionine-d3 is typically administered to rodents via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection at doses of 50-200 mg/kg. Blood and tissue samples are collected at various time points (0-24 hours). Plasma and tissue methionine levels are quantified by LC-MS/MS using the deuterated compound as an internal standard. Metabolic flux analysis is performed to trace the incorporation of deuterium into downstream metabolites such as homocysteine, cysteine, and glutathione.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
L-Methionine-d3 exhibits good water solubility (>20 mg/mL). As a stable isotope-labeled compound, it has identical physicochemical properties to unlabeled L-methionine, with the deuterium atoms providing a mass shift of +3 Da for MS detection. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions (powder at -20°C for 3 years, in solvent at -80°C for 6 months). It is absorbed via amino acid transporters and metabolized through the methionine cycle.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
L-Methionine is generally recognized as safe at physiological concentrations. The deuterated form is not expected to exhibit additional toxicity beyond that of L-methionine. In animal studies, high doses of methionine (>1 g/kg) may cause hypermethioninemia and neurological effects. The compound is for research use only and has not been fully validated for medical applications. No specific toxicity data are available for the deuterated analog; safety profiles are extrapolated from the non-labeled compound.
