Product Description
2-Di-1-ASP (DASPI; Compound 18a) is a monostyrene dye extensively used as a mitochondrial stain of double-stranded DNA and as a groove-binding fluorescent probe. 2-Di-1-ASP is selective for G-quadruplexes (G4) and double-stranded DNA.
2-Di-1-ASP (CAS#: 2156-29-8) is a mono-styryl dye widely used as a mitochondrial stain and groove-binding fluorescent probe for double-stranded DNA. It has selectivity for G-quadruplex (G4) and double-stranded DNA. 2-Di-1-ASP shows fluorimetric selectivity for parallel G4-DNA forms such as c-kit2, c-kit87up, and c-myc. It demonstrates notable fluorescence enhancement (up to 300-fold) in the presence of G-quadruplex structures. It is also known as DASPI or Compound 18a.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
2-Di-1-ASP targets G-quadruplex (G4) DNA structures and double-stranded DNA. G-quadruplexes are four-stranded DNA structures formed by guanine-rich sequences that play important roles in gene regulation, telomere maintenance, and genome stability. By selectively binding to G-quadruplex structures, 2-Di-1-ASP serves as a fluorescent probe for detecting and studying these structures. It also binds to the groove of double-stranded DNA as a fluorescent probe.
ln Vitro
2-Di-1-ASP (compound 18a) has good selectivity for double-stranded DNA and shows a notable fluorescence enhancement (up to 300-fold) in the presence of G-quadruplex (G4) structure. For parallel G4-DNA forms (c-kit2, c-kit87up, and c-myc), 2-Di-1-ASP exhibits fluorescence selectivity [1].
In vitro, 2-Di-1-ASP functions as a fluorescent probe for DNA structures. It shows fluorimetric selectivity for parallel G4-DNA forms including c-kit2, c-kit87up, and c-myc. The compound demonstrates notable fluorescence enhancement (up to 300-fold) in the presence of G-quadruplex structures. It is widely used as a mitochondrial stain and groove-binding fluorescent probe for double-stranded DNA. Its fluorescence properties are characterized by spectrophotometric and fluorometric methods.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 2-Di-1-ASP is used as a fluorescent probe for staining mitochondria and DNA in cells and tissues. Its ability to selectively bind to G-quadruplex structures and double-stranded DNA makes it useful for studying DNA structure and function in live cells. However, specific in vivo applications are primarily focused on cellular imaging and staining rather than therapeutic applications. The compound is a research tool for cell biology and DNA structure studies.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free assays for 2-Di-1-ASP involve characterizing its fluorescence properties and DNA binding affinity. The compound is incubated with various DNA structures (G-quadruplex, double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA) in buffered solutions. Fluorescence enhancement is measured using a fluorometer. Binding selectivity is assessed by comparing fluorescence intensity in the presence of different DNA structures. Binding affinity is determined from fluorescence titration experiments. Chemical purity and identity are confirmed by HPLC and NMR analysis.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for 2-Di-1-ASP typically involve staining cells with the compound to visualize mitochondria and DNA. Cells are incubated with 2-Di-1-ASP at appropriate concentrations for defined periods. Fluorescence is visualized by fluorescence microscopy or quantified by flow cytometry. The compound's ability to stain mitochondria and DNA is assessed. Co-localization studies with other organelle-specific dyes are performed to confirm specificity. Cytotoxicity is evaluated to ensure that the compound is well-tolerated at staining concentrations.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 2-Di-1-ASP are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a fluorescent probe for in vitro and ex vivo applications. The compound may be used for tissue staining or for studying DNA structures in animal models. However, specific in vivo applications are not extensively documented in the available literature. The compound is intended for research use only as a fluorescent probe.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 2-Di-1-ASP include a molecular weight of 366.24 g/mol and molecular formula C16H19IN2. The compound has a purity of ≥99%. As a fluorescent dye, its pharmacokinetic properties are not the primary focus of study. The compound is typically stored at appropriate conditions as a research reagent. Detailed ADME parameters are not extensively reported in the available literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of 2-Di-1-ASP has not been extensively characterized in published literature. As a fluorescent probe, it is typically used at low concentrations for staining applications. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound. It is intended for research use only as a fluorescent probe, not for therapeutic applications.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
