| Targets |
Dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS). As an internal standard, Sulfamethizole-d4 has no inherent pharmacological activity. It is used as an analytical reference standard, not as a therapeutic agent.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Drug compounds have included stable heavy isotopes of carbon, hydrogen, and other elements, mostly as tracers for quantification throughout the drug development process. Due to its potential to alter the pharmacokinetic and metabolic characteristics of medications, deuteration has drawn attention[1].
Not applicable. Sulfamethizole-d4 is used exclusively as an internal standard in analytical chemistry. It has no biological activity of its own and does not undergo pharmacological evaluation. |
| ln Vivo |
Not applicable. Sulfamethizole-d4 is not used for in vivo efficacy studies. It may be added to biological samples (e.g., plasma, urine, tissue homogenates) from animals dosed with sulfamethizole to enable accurate quantification of the parent drug by LC-MS/MS.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Not applicable. Sulfamethizole-d4 is used as a calibrator in mass spectrometry. It is not involved in receptor or enzyme binding assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based assays are not applicable. Sulfamethizole-d4 is exclusively an analytical reference standard for LC-MS and GC-MS quantification.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Animals are dosed with the parent drug, sulfamethizole. Biological samples (e.g., plasma, urine) are collected at various time points. The samples are spiked with a known amount of Sulfamethizole-d4, processed (protein precipitation, extraction), and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The concentration of sulfamethizole is calculated from the peak area ratio of sulfamethizole to the internal standard.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Not applicable. Sulfamethizole-d4 is an analytical standard. The non-deuterated parent drug, sulfamethizole, has an oral bioavailability of 85-100%, a half-life of approximately 6-8 h in humans, and is excreted primarily unchanged in the urine.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Not applicable. Sulfamethizole-d4 is intended for research use as an internal standard and is not for human consumption. The non-deuterated parent drug, sulfamethizole, is a broad-spectrum sulfonamide antibiotic (MIC90s = 1.25-5,000 ug/mL against clinical isolates of E. coli and K. pneumoniae). Sulfamethizole-d4 is not intended for therapeutic use.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
