Product Description
Primidone-d5 is the deuterium labelled form of Primidone. Primidone is a potent anticonvulsant (antiepileptic/antiseizure) of the barbiturate class. Primidone is a neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) blocker used in epilepsy, essential tremor and psychiatric disorders.
Primidone-d5 is a deuterium-labeled analog of Primidone. Primidone is a potent anticonvulsant agent of the barbiturate class and a neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) blocker. The deuterated form is used as an internal standard for the quantification of Primidone by GC-MS or LC-MS in analytical and pharmacokinetic research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels (VGSC) (barbiturate class)
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].
Primidone-d5 is the deuterium labeled analog of Primidone. Primidone is a neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) blocker. It also exhibits anticonvulsant activity via barbiturate mechanisms, including enhancing GABAergic inhibition. The primary metabolite, phenobarbital, is also an active anticonvulsant. The deuterated form is chemically identical and used as an internal standard.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo data for the labeled compound. Primidone itself is clinically used as an anticonvulsant for the treatment of epilepsy (primarily for generalized tonic-clonic seizures, focal seizures, and myoclonic seizures) and essential tremor. It is metabolized to phenobarbital, which contributes to its long-acting anticonvulsant effects. The deuterated form is not administered in vivo as a therapeutic agent.
Enzyme Assay
For sodium channel assays, heterologously expressed human NaV channels (e.g., NaV1.2, NaV1.6) are used. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings are performed in HEK293 cells. Unlabeled primidone is applied at varying concentrations (1-1000 uM), and the inhibition of sodium currents is measured. Primidone stabilizes the inactivated state of the channel. IC50 values are determined. These results apply to the deuterated form as a tracer.
Cell Assay
For analytical use, Primidone-d5 is used as an internal standard (IS) in LC-MS/MS or GC-MS assays for therapeutic drug monitoring. A fixed amount of Primidone-d5 is added to patient plasma or serum samples. Analytes are extracted by protein precipitation or liquid-liquid extraction. Separation is achieved on a C18 column. The mass spectrometer monitors the mass transitions for primidone and Primidone-d5. The IS corrects for matrix effects and extraction recovery, enabling accurate quantification of primidone levels.
Animal Protocol
No in vivo animal study for Primidone-d5. Unlabeled primidone has been studied in animal models of epilepsy: in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) test in mice and rats, primidone (20-100 mg/kg, i.p. or p.o.) suppresses tonic hindlimb extension. In the pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) seizure test, it has variable effects. Primidone also reduces tremor in animal models of essential tremor. These studies established the drug's anticonvulsant profile.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Primidone-d5 is not administered therapeutically; it is an analytical standard. The unlabeled primidone has a half-life of approximately 5-18 hours in adults. It is absorbed orally (60-80% bioavailability). It is metabolized in the liver to phenobarbital (active) and phenylethylmalonamide (PEMA). Primidone-d5 would follow the same metabolic pathway if administered, but it is used only as a tracer.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Primidone-d5 is a research reagent used at low concentrations in analytical assays; toxicity of the labeled form has not been evaluated. Unlabeled primidone has known toxicities: common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, ataxia, nystagmus, and gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting). Chronic use may cause megaloblastic anemia, rash, and systemic lupus erythematosus-like syndrome. Overdose causes barbiturate-like toxicity (respiratory depression, coma).
