Prednisone-d₄  (Synonyms: Dehydrocortisone-d4)

Prednisone-d₄ is deuterated labeled Prednisone (HY-B0214). Prednisone (Adasone) is a corticosteroid agent with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects that can be used to study diseases related to systemic lupus erythematosus^[1][2].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].

Prednisone (intramuscular injection, 10 mg/kg once a day, on days 4 to 13) reduces the survival rate on days lower than the control group in BALB/c mice with encephalomyocarditis virus myocarditis. Besides, myocardial virus titers reaches a maximum on day 4, but there is no antibody titer, and on day 8 virus titers remains elevated and antibody titers is also high. On day 10, antibody titers are significantly lower than controls, while viral titers remains significantly elevated^[3].
Prednisone (5 mg/kg, intragastrically administration, daily) can cause changes in FA metabolism in SLE mouse (MRL/lpr) model^[4].
