Not applicable; Suberic acid-d4 is a stable isotope-labeled internal standard for analytical quantification, not a pharmacologically active drug targeting specific biological receptors. The unlabeled parent compound suberic acid (octanedioic acid) is a dicarboxylic acid that has been found to be associated with carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency and malonyl-CoA decarboxylase deficiency, but it is not a therapeutic target. Suberic acid-d4 is used solely as an internal standard in mass spectrometry and as a tracer in metabolic studies. It is not designed to interact with biological receptors but rather to enable precise quantification of metabolites in complex biological matrices.

| 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].
Suberic acid-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard and does not directly exert pharmacological effects in vitro. The unlabeled suberic acid (octanedioic acid) is a dicarboxylic acid associated with certain metabolic disorders. In cell-free systems, Suberic acid-d4 is used as a standard to calibrate GC-MS or LC-MS instruments for dicarboxylic acid analysis. It co-elutes with unlabeled suberic acid but is distinguished by its mass shift (M+4), allowing precise quantification by isotope dilution. It is used in metabolomics and lipidomics research for biomarker discovery and metabolic pathway analysis. It is not typically used for testing biological activity in cell-free enzyme assays. |
| ln Vivo |
Suberic acid-d4 is not intended for in vivo use as a therapeutic agent but serves as an internal standard in metabolism studies. It can be administered to animals as a tracer to study the metabolism of dicarboxylic acids. Because it is deuterated (M+4), it can be distinguished from endogenous suberic acid by mass spectrometry, enabling accurate quantification of suberic acid flux in metabolic studies. This is particularly relevant for studying disorders such as carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency and malonyl-CoA decarboxylase deficiency, where suberic acid and other dicarboxylic acids accumulate. The compound finds particular application in the fields of metabolomics and lipidomics.

| Enzyme Assay |
For quantitative LC-MS/MS analysis of suberic acid, prepare a stock solution of Suberic acid-d4 in water or methanol at 1 mg/mL. Spike a known amount (e.g., 10-100 ng/mL) of the deuterated standard into biological samples (plasma, urine, tissue homogenates) after sample preparation. For derivatization, react the carboxylic acids with a derivatizing agent (e.g., 3-nitrophenylhydrazine or butylamine) to improve ionization efficiency. Separate on a C18 reverse-phase column using a mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile. Detect by negative ion electrospray ionization (ESI-) or positive ion ESI after derivatization, using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Quantify by isotope dilution using the peak area ratio of suberic acid to Suberic acid-d4 against a calibration curve.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cell-based metabolomics studies, culture cells in appropriate medium. At designated time points, harvest cells, wash with PBS, and extract intracellular metabolites with cold methanol/water (80:20 v/v). Add Suberic acid-d4 as an internal standard at a known concentration (e.g., 50 ng/mL) prior to extraction. Centrifuge to remove debris, dry the supernatant under nitrogen, and derivatize as described above. Analyze by LC-MS/MS using the method described. The deuterated internal standard corrects for any variability in sample preparation, extraction efficiency, matrix effects, and ion suppression, enabling accurate quantification of suberic acid and other dicarboxylic acids in cellular samples. This is essential for metabolic pathway analysis and understanding cellular function.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo metabolomics studies, administer test compounds to animals (e.g., rats, mice) by oral gavage or injection. Collect blood, urine, and tissues at designated time points. Add Suberic acid-d4 internal standard (e.g., 50-100 ng/mL) to each sample. Precipitate proteins with acetonitrile or perform solid-phase extraction (SPE). Derivatize samples as described above and analyze by LC-MS/MS. Quantify suberic acid and other dicarboxylic acids by isotope dilution using the deuterated standard. This method is used for biomarker discovery, metabolic pathway analysis, and studying the effects of drugs on metabolism, particularly in the context of fatty acid oxidation disorders and metabolic diseases.

In solution, store at -80degC for up to 6 months; at -20degC for up to 1 month. Purity: ≥98% by HPLC; isotopic enrichment: 98 atom% D. The compound features four deuterium atoms and is a valuable tool in metabolomics and lipidomics as an internal standard.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Suberic acid-d4 has low toxicity at typical analytical working concentrations (ng/mL to ug/mL). The unlabeled parent compound suberic acid (octanedioic acid) is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in urine, and it is generally regarded as safe at physiological levels. The deuterated analog shares the same safety profile. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the pure compound: wear appropriate personal protective equipment (lab coat, gloves, safety glasses), avoid inhalation of powder and contact with skin/eyes, wash hands thoroughly after handling. Not for human therapeutic use. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information. For research use only.

| Additional Infomation |
Suberic acid-d4 (Octanedioic acid-d4) is a deuterated derivative of octanedioic acid, where four hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, creating a mass difference between the labeled and unlabeled molecules that allows them to be distinguished by mass spectrometry. It is used as an isotope-labeled internal standard for accurate quantification of suberic acid and other dicarboxylic acids in biological samples. Suberic acid (unlabeled) is found to be associated with carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency and malonyl-CoA decarboxylase deficiency. The compound finds particular application in metabolomics and lipidomics for biomarker discovery, metabolic pathway analysis, drug development, and understanding cellular function. It is also used as a reference standard for analytical method development and validation. For research use only.
