Deuterated Drug
Deuterated drugs are drugs obtained by replacing hydrogen atoms at specific sites on drug molecules with deuterium atoms. In theory, incorporating ‘heavy hydrogen’ into small molecules improves the half-life of a drug and its toxicity profile. In April 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the world’s first deuterated drug, the Deutetrabenazine for the treatment of Huntington’s-disease-related movement disorders. In 2022, the FDA approved another new deuterated drug, Deucravacitinib which is widely used to treat a variety of autoimmune diseases, including classic Sjogren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis[1][2]
The following aspects are considered in the development of deuterated drugs design[2]:

Deucravacitinib (BMS-986165) is an orally active allosteric inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), with an IC50 of 0.2 nM and a Ki of 0.02 nM against the JH2 domain of TYK2, and it exhibits selectivity over other JAK subtypes and most of the kinome. Deucravacitinib blocks IL-23, IL-12, p-STAT1/3 and Type I IFN signaling, and inhibits Th17/Th1-mediated psoriasis inflammation. Deucravacitinib can be used in research related to moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Sorafenib-d3 (Donafenib) is the deuterated-labeled Sorafenib (HY-10201). Sorafenib (Bay 43-9006) is a potent oral active multikinase inhibitor. Sorafenib blocks autophosphorylation and activity of receptor tyrosine kinases (VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3) and RAF family kinases, thereby suppressing the RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways, inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation, and selectively inhibiting the MAPK pathway in cancer cells. Sorafenib induces cell cycle arrest, autophagy, apoptosis, and PARP cleavage, reduces Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, cyclin D1 levels, and activates Bak and Bax. Sorafenib inhibits tumor growth and metastasis in mouse and rat models. Sorafenib can be used for cancer research, such as colon, breast, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian, pancreatic, melanoma, colorectal and hepatocellular carcinoma.
