Product Description
Terephthalic acid-d4 is the deuterated form of Terephthalic acid. Terephthalic acid is an isomer of three phthalates and is the precursor of polyester PET, which may be utilized to make clothing and plastics.
Terephthalic acid-d4 is a deuterium-labeled form of terephthalic acid where four hydrogen atoms on the aromatic ring are replaced by deuterium. With a molecular weight of 170.16 and formula C8H2D4O4, it is a stable isotope-labeled analog of terephthalic acid. Terephthalic acid is an isomer of the three phthalates and serves as the precursor to polyester polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is used in clothing and plastic bottles.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Terephthalic acid-d4 does not have a specific pharmacological target as it is a stable isotope-labeled internal standard rather than a therapeutic drug. Terephthalic acid itself is an industrial chemical and PET precursor, not a bioactive compound with defined molecular targets. The deuterated form is used as an analytical standard for the quantification of terephthalic acid and related phthalates in environmental and biological samples.
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].
In vitro activity of Terephthalic acid-d4 is not evaluated as a bioactive compound. Its utility lies in its role as an internal standard for mass spectrometry-based quantification of terephthalic acid and phthalate metabolites. It is used in analytical method development to accurately measure terephthalic acid levels in environmental samples, food packaging materials, and biological fluids. Its "activity" is reflected in its performance as an analytical standard.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Terephthalic acid-d4 is not administered as a therapeutic agent. It is used as an internal standard in research studies to quantify terephthalic acid and related compounds in biological samples. Terephthalic acid itself is a raw material for polyester production and is not a drug. The deuterated compound ensures accurate measurement by compensating for matrix effects and variations in sample preparation and instrument performance in LC-MS/MS analysis.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays with Terephthalic acid-d4 typically involve using the compound as an internal standard in assays that measure the activity of enzymes involved in phthalate metabolism. The deuterated standard is added to samples to control for extraction efficiency and ionization suppression in mass spectrometry analysis. Standard protocols involve spiking samples with a known amount of the deuterated standard, processing the samples, and analyzing by LC-MS/MS.
Cell Assay
Terephthalic acid-d4 is not typically used in cell culture experiments as a bioactive compound. However, it may be employed as an internal standard in cell-based studies investigating phthalate metabolism or toxicity. Cells are treated with phthalates or terephthalic acid, and the deuterated standard is used to quantify these compounds in cell lysates or culture media by LC-MS/MS. Its role is strictly analytical rather than biological.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with Terephthalic acid-d4 typically involve using the compound as an internal standard in toxicokinetic or metabolism studies of terephthalic acid and related phthalates. Animals are exposed to phthalates or terephthalic acid, and blood, urine, and tissue samples are collected. The deuterated standard is added to samples to quantify terephthalic acid and its metabolites by LC-MS/MS.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of Terephthalic acid-d4 are relevant to its use as an internal standard. The deuterated compound has essentially identical physicochemical properties to the unlabeled terephthalic acid, making it an ideal internal standard for PK studies of terephthalic acid metabolism. It co-elutes with the analyte during chromatography and has similar ionization efficiency in mass spectrometry, allowing for accurate quantification.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Terephthalic acid-d4 has a low toxicity profile consistent with its use as an analytical standard. Terephthalic acid itself is an industrial chemical with low acute toxicity. The deuterium label does not introduce additional toxicity. Standard laboratory safety practices are sufficient for handling. It is not classified as a hazardous substance for research use.
