| Targets |
Oclacitinib-13C-d3 targets Janus kinases (JAKs), specifically JAK1. The parent drug Oclacitinib is a potent and selective inhibitor of JAK1, which is involved in signaling pathways for multiple pro-inflammatory and pruritogenic cytokines, including IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-13, and IL-31. By inhibiting JAK1, Oclacitinib blocks the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, thereby reducing cytokine-mediated inflammation and pruritus (itching). The compound also shows some activity against JAK2 and JAK3 at higher concentrations but is selective for JAK1 in therapeutic dose ranges. The deuterium and 13C labeling does not alter the mechanism of action, but the labeled compound is used exclusively as an analytical standard.

| 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].
No specific in vitro activity data is provided for Oclacitinib-13C-d3 because it is an analytical standard. The parent compound Oclacitinib has been extensively characterized. Oclacitinib inhibits JAK1 with an IC50 of 10 nM in cell-free enzyme assays, with selectivity over JAK2 (IC50 = 18 nM, 1.8-fold selective) and JAK3 (IC50 = 99 nM, 10-fold selective). In cellular assays using canine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), Oclacitinib inhibits IL-31-induced STAT phosphorylation with an IC50 of approximately 50 nM. The compound also inhibits the production of IL-31 from stimulated T cells. The in vitro potency correlates with its anti-pruritic effects in vivo. The compound has a favorable selectivity profile for JAK1 over other JAK family members. |
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo data is provided for Oclacitinib-13C-d3. The parent drug Oclacitinib is used in veterinary medicine. In dogs with atopic dermatitis, oral administration of Oclacitinib (0.4-0.6 mg/kg twice daily) rapidly reduces pruritus within 24 hours. In preclinical studies in rodents, Oclacitinib reduces inflammation in models of allergic contact dermatitis and reduces clinical signs in a canine model of atopic dermatitis. The compound is well-tolerated in dogs, with the most common adverse effects being mild gastrointestinal signs (vomiting, diarrhea). The label specifies that it is not for use in humans. The labeled internal standard is used for quantification in PK studies of Oclacitinib.

| Enzyme Assay |
Oclacitinib-13C-d3 is not used in cell-free or cell-based assays for target engagement. It is used as an internal standard in analytical chemistry. For LC-MS/MS method validation, calibration standards are prepared by spiking known concentrations of non-labeled Oclacitinib into blank biological matrix (e.g., canine plasma, serum, or tissue homogenate). A fixed concentration of Oclacitinib-13C-d3 (e.g., 10-100 ng/mL) is added to each calibrator, QC sample, and study sample. Samples are prepared by protein precipitation with acetonitrile or methanol containing the internal standard. After centrifugation, the supernatant is injected onto a reversed-phase HPLC column coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer operated in positive ion electrospray mode (ESI+). MRM transitions: parent drug m/z 338.0 → m/z 197.0; internal standard m/z 342.0 → m/z 199.0 (for 13C-d3). The peak area ratio (analyte/IS) is used for quantification.

| Cell Assay |
Oclacitinib-13C-d3 is not typically used in cellular assays. For studies of Oclacitinib pharmacology, a cellular assay using canine PBMCs is used. PBMCs are isolated from dog whole blood by density gradient centrifugation. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates (2×10⁵ cells/well) in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% FBS. Cells are treated with Oclacitinib (0.1-1000 nM) for 30 minutes, then stimulated with IL-31 (100 ng/mL) for 15 minutes. Cells are lysed, and STAT3 phosphorylation is measured by phospho-STAT3 ELISA or by Western blotting with phospho-specific antibodies. Alternatively, for proliferation assays, PBMCs are stimulated with PHA (phytohemagglutinin, 5 microg/mL) in the presence of Oclacitinib (1-1000 nM) for 72 hours, and proliferation is measured by [3H]-thymidine incorporation or CFSE dilution. Oclacitinib-13C-d3 is not used in these assays.

| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies for Oclacitinib are typically conducted in dogs or rodents. For a PK study, male Beagle dogs (n=4-6) are fasted overnight and then administered Oclacitinib maleate (0.4-0.6 mg/kg) orally as a single dose. Blood samples are collected from the jugular vein at pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose. Plasma is separated by centrifugation. Oclacitinib concentrations are quantified by LC-MS/MS using Oclacitinib-13C-d3 as internal standard. PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax, AUC, t½, oral bioavailability) are calculated. In a repeated dose toxicity study, dogs receive Oclacitinib daily for 28 days. Blood samples are collected for PK analysis and for hematology, serum chemistry, and coagulation profiles. Tissue samples are collected at necropsy for histopathology. The labeled internal standard is used for quantification of drug concentrations in plasma and tissues.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
This product is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use. Oclacitinib is approved for veterinary use in dogs under the brand name Apoquel. The safety and efficacy of Oclacitinib in humans have not been established. The deuterated and 13C-labeled internal standard poses minimal risk at the concentrations used in analytical methods. Standard laboratory safety practices (gloves, lab coat, safety glasses) should be followed. Avoid inhalation of powder. This product is not an FDA-approved drug. It is intended for use as an internal standard in research applications only. Supplier information must not be included.

| Additional Infomation |
Oclacitinib is a JAK1 inhibitor that was developed for the treatment of pruritus and inflammation associated with allergic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis in dogs. It is not approved for use in humans. Oclacitinib-13C-d3 is synthesized by replacing specific carbon atoms with carbon-13 (13C) and hydrogen atoms with deuterium (d3). This stable isotope-labeled internal standard is used for accurate quantification of Oclacitinib in biological matrices by MS methods, correcting for matrix effects and variability in sample preparation. The compound is typically >99% enriched in 13C and 99% deuterated forms (d1-d3). This product is not a drug and is for research use only. Supplier information must not be included.
