| Targets |
D-Biotinol targets biotin-dependent enzymes, including carboxylases such as pyruvate carboxylase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, propionyl-CoA carboxylase, and β-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase. As a structural analog of biotin, it can participate in carboxylase-related reactions and serve as a coenzyme structural analog.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, D-biotinol is used to study the reaction mechanisms of biotin-dependent enzymes. It serves as a tool molecule to investigate the role of biotin in carboxylation reactions and to elucidate the catalytic mechanisms of carboxylases. The compound's structural similarity to biotin allows it to mimic biotin's interactions with enzymes while providing distinct chemical properties for research purposes.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, D-biotinol has been shown to restore biotin deficiency induced by egg whites in rats. It is orally bioactive and can be converted into biotin by rats, making it a useful compound for studying biotin metabolism and deficiency disorders. Its ability to replace biotin in vivo highlights its potential as a biotin supplement or prodrug.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for D-biotinol typically measure the activity of biotin-dependent carboxylases in the presence of the compound. D-Biotinol is used as a substrate analog to study the binding and catalytic mechanisms of these enzymes. The assays involve incubating the enzyme with D-biotinol and other substrates, and the reaction products are quantified by spectrophotometric or chromatographic methods to assess enzyme activity.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell experiments with D-biotinol involve culturing cells in biotin-deficient media supplemented with the compound to study its ability to support biotin-dependent cellular processes. Cells are assessed for growth, proliferation, and metabolic activity. The compound is also used to study biotin transport and metabolism in cell culture models of biotin deficiency.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with D-biotinol involve inducing biotin deficiency in rats by feeding them raw egg whites, which contain avidin that binds biotin. D-Biotinol is then administered orally to the deficient animals, and the restoration of biotin-dependent functions is assessed. This model is used to study the bioavailability and efficacy of D-biotinol as a biotin replacement.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
D-Biotinol is orally bioactive and can be converted into biotin by rats. It is a water-soluble small molecule containing a sulfur-containing heterocycle. The compound's structural similarity to biotin allows it to be recognized by biotin transporters and metabolized to biotin. It is typically stored as a solid at room temperature.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for D-biotinol are limited. As a reduced derivative of biotin, it is expected to have low toxicity similar to biotin, which is a water-soluble vitamin with a high safety margin. The compound is intended for research use only and not for human consumption.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.85 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 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to 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.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
