“…The KIE is the change of chemical reaction rate when one of the atoms in a compound is substituted by its isotopes. 18 Due to the higher molecular weight of deuterium, C-D bonds have a lower vibrational frequency and zero-point energy and needs higher activation energy that decreases the rate (k) of C-D bond cleavage. This rate effect is the deuterium isotope effect (DIE) and is expressed as kH/kD the ratio of the rate of C-H vs C-D bond cleavage.…”

In most cases, the systemic clearance rate is unaffected.…”

Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. In 2020, 19.3 million cancer cases and 10 million deaths were reported in the world. It is supposed that the prevalence of cancer cases will rise to 28.4 million by 2040. Chemotherapy-based regimens have a narrow therapeutic index, severe adverse drug reactions, and lack metabolic stability. Besides, the metabolism of anticancer produces several non-active and toxic metabolites that reduce exposure of the target site to the parent drug. Therefore, developing better-tolerated and effective new anticancer drugs and modification of the existing anticancer drugs to minimize toxicity and increase efficacy has become a very urgent need. Deuterium incorporation reduces the metabolism of certain drugs that are breakdown by pathways involving hydrogen-carbon bond scission. For example, CYP450 mediated oxidative metabolism of drugs that involves the breakdown of a hydrogen-carbon bond affected by deuteration. Deuterium incorporation into the drug increases the half-life and reduces the dose, which provides better safety and efficacy. Deutetrabenazine is the first deuterated form of tetrabenazine approved to treat chorea associated with Huntington’s disease and tardive dyskinesia. The study revealed that Deutetrabenazine has fewer neuropsychiatric side effects with favorable safety than tetrabenazine. The current review highlights the deuterium kinetic isotope effect on drug metabolism, deuterated compound pharmacokinetic property, and safety profile. Besides, this review explains the deuterated anticancer drug development update status.

“…The differential strength between the C-D and C-H bonds has led to the development of deuterated drugs. [4][5][6] In most cases, drug metabolism is triggered by the oxidative cleavage of the C-H bond by cytochrome P450 (CYP). Therefore, the replacement of C-H bonds with stable C-D bonds at a CYPmediated metabolic site suppresses metabolism in the small intestine epithelial cells and liver and enhances the pharmacokinetic property of changing the pharmacological parameters of drugs.…”
“…[51] Deuteration of small-molecule drugs has been shown to favorably affect their pharmacokinetic properties. [52] Consequently, the metabolism of certain drugs may be positively influenced upon deuterium incorporation, resulting in improved safety, tolerability, or efficacy. [53,54] Therefore, we envisioned that by starting with readily available CD 2 Cl 2 , our Vitamin B 12 -photocatalyzed cyclopropanation could offer a facile and inexpensive means for late-stage deuterium incorporation into pharmaceutically active compounds.…”
The cyclopropyl group is of great importance in medicinal chemistry, as it can be leveraged to influence a range of pharmaceutical properties in drug molecules. This report describes a Vitamin B12‐photocatalyzed approach for the cyclopropanation of electron‐deficient alkenes using dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) as the methylene source. The reaction proceeds in good to excellent yields under mild conditions, has excellent functional group compatibility, and is highly chemoselective. The scope could also be extended to the preparation of D2‐cyclopropyl and methyl‐substituted cyclopropyl adducts starting from CD2Cl2 and 1,1‐dichloroethane, respectively.
