| Targets |
Neprilysin (NEP). Sacubitril is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed to its active metabolite, LBQ657, a potent and selective neprilysin inhibitor (IC50 = 5 nM). The deuterated form, Sacubitril-d4, acts as an internal standard for quantifying sacubitril and its metabolites in 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].
Sacubitril (AHU-377) is a potent NEP inhibitor with an IC50 of 5 nM. It is a prodrug that is metabolized in vivo to its active form, LBQ657. The deuterated version, Sacubitril-d4, has the same chemical properties as the non-labeled drug, but its different mass allows it to be used as an internal standard in LC-MS/MS to improve the accuracy and precision of drug concentration measurements. |
| ln Vivo |
Sacubitril is a widely used drug for heart failure. As the prodrug component of Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan), it has been extensively studied in vivo. In animal models, it increases plasma levels of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and reduces blood pressure, leading to improved cardiovascular function. In humans, the drug combination has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Sacubitril-d4 is not typically used in non-cellular enzyme assays as an inhibitor, but rather as an analytical standard. For enzyme assays, the non-deuterated sacubitril (or its active metabolite LBQ657) is used. In these assays, recombinant NEP is incubated with a fluorogenic substrate, and the inhibitor is added to determine its IC50. The activity of NEP is measured by the increase in fluorescence upon cleavage of the substrate.
|
| Cell Assay |
Sacubitril-d4 is used in cell-based assays as an internal standard for sample preparation. Cells (e.g., hepatocytes) are treated with the non-deuterated sacubitril to study its uptake, metabolism, and effects on NEP activity. The samples are then processed, and the deuterated standard is added to the lysate to accurately quantify the amount of sacubitril and its metabolites by LC-MS/MS, compensating for any loss during sample preparation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For animal studies, animals are dosed with sacubitril (or the sacubitril/valsartan combination) orally or intravenously. Blood samples are collected at various time points. A known amount of Sacubitril-d4 is spiked into each plasma sample as an internal standard. The plasma samples are then extracted and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The ratio of the signal from the non-deuterated drug to the signal from the deuterated internal standard is used to calculate the drug concentration.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Sacubitril-d4 has the same pharmacokinetic properties as the non-labeled drug. It is a prodrug that is rapidly hydrolyzed in vivo to its active metabolite, LBQ657, primarily by esterases. The compound has a molecular weight of 415.52 g/mol and a molecular formula of C24H25D4NO5. It is used as an internal standard for bioanalysis, not as a therapeutic entity, so its PK as a labeled compound is not typically characterized.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Sacubitril is a known pharmaceutical agent with a well-characterized safety profile. As a component of Entresto, its toxicology has been extensively studied in animals and humans. Common adverse events include cough, dizziness, hypotension, and hyperkalemia. The deuterated version, Sacubitril-d4, is used in very small, non-toxic amounts as an internal standard and is not administered as a therapeutic agent. Standard safety precautions for handling research chemicals should be followed.

| Additional Infomation |
Sacubitril-d4 is a stable isotope-labeled compound where four hydrogen atoms have been replaced with deuterium atoms. This labeling increases the mass of the molecule by 4 Da, allowing it to be distinguished from the non-labeled compound by mass spectrometry. It is an essential internal standard for the bioanalysis of sacubitril and its metabolites in support of pharmacokinetic studies. The compound is intended for research use only and is not for human consumption.
