Product Description
Butylphthalide-d3 is the deuterated form of Butylphthalide. Butylphthalide (3-n-Butylphthalide) is a bioactive molecule against cerebral ischemia. It was originally extracted from celery species and has been shown to be effective in stroke animal models.
Butylphthalide-d3 is the deuterium-labeled form of Butylphthalide (3-n-Butylphthalide), an anti-cerebral-ischemia agent first isolated from seeds of celery [10L6-L8]. The incorporation of three deuterium atoms serves as an internal standard for the quantification of Butylphthalide in biological samples using mass spectrometry [11L28-L30]. This stable isotope-labeled compound is used for tracing metabolic pathways and studying pharmacokinetics due to the unique properties imparted by deuterium [10L6-L8]. It is a research-use only compound.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Butylphthalide-d3 targets the same biological pathways as its parent compound, Butylphthalide. Butylphthalide is an anti-cerebral-ischemia agent that has shown efficacy in animal models of stroke, though its precise molecular target is not fully defined [10L7-L9]. As a deuterated internal standard, the labeled form is used to accurately measure the concentration of the parent drug in biological samples by mass spectrometry, rather than for direct pharmacological targeting.
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].
The deuterated version is not typically used to assess biological activity in vitro, as it is an analytical standard. The parent compound, Butylphthalide, has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in various in vitro models of cerebral ischemia, such as protecting neurons from oxygen-glucose deprivation and reducing oxidative stress-induced cell death. However, Butylphthalide-d3 itself is not used in such functional assays.
ln Vivo
Butylphthalide-d3 is not used to study biological efficacy in vivo, as it is a stable isotope-labeled internal standard. The parent compound Butylphthalide has been extensively studied in animal models of stroke, showing efficacy in reducing infarct volume, improving neurological deficits, and promoting cerebral blood flow. Butylphthalide-d3 is used as a tracer to investigate the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of Butylphthalide in these models.
Enzyme Assay
As an analytical standard, Butylphthalide-d3 is used in non-cellular mass spectrometry assays. The protocol involves spiking a known amount of Butylphthalide-d3 into a biological sample (e.g., plasma, urine, or tissue homogenate). After sample preparation (such as liquid-liquid extraction or solid-phase extraction), the extract is analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The compound is then used to correct for analyte recovery, matrix effects, and instrument variability by comparing the signal of Butylphthalide to the signal of Butylphthalide-d3.
Cell Assay
Butylphthalide-d3 is not used for in vitro cellular assays as a functional agent. For analytical purposes, cell culture media or cell lysates from experiments with unlabeled Butylphthalide can be spiked with Butylphthalide-d3. This mixture is then processed and analyzed by LC-MS/MS to quantify the concentration of Butylphthalide present. This allows researchers to study the uptake, metabolism, and stability of the drug in cellular environments.
Animal Protocol
In pharmacokinetic studies, Butylphthalide-d3 serves as the internal standard to quantify the concentration of the parent drug Butylphthalide. For this, an animal model (e.g., rat or mouse) is administered Butylphthalide via intravenous or oral routes. Blood samples are collected at various time points, and plasma is separated. A known amount of Butylphthalide-d3 is then added to each plasma sample as an internal standard before extraction and LC-MS/MS analysis. This method allows for accurate calculation of key PK parameters.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for Butylphthalide-d3 itself are not reported, as it is used as an internal standard for the quantification of non-labeled Butylphthalide. The parent compound Butylphthalide has a good oral bioavailability and a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, which includes a short half-life in plasma. The deuterated form is stable and does not undergo significant deuterium-hydrogen exchange under physiological conditions, allowing for accurate MS quantification.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Butylphthalide-d3 are not extensively reported, as it is an analytical standard used at very low concentrations. The parent compound Butylphthalide is generally considered safe, though high doses may cause gastrointestinal or neurological side effects. As a stable isotope-labeled compound, Butylphthalide-d3 does not pose additional toxicological risks beyond those of the non-labeled compound. Standard laboratory chemical safety precautions apply.
