Product Description
3-(Dansylamino)phenylboronic acid, a phenylboronic acid analogue, can be used for glucose detection.
3-(Dansylamino)phenylboronic acid is a fluorescent probe composed of a phenylboronic acid group conjugated to a dansyl fluorophore via an amide linkage. Its molecular formula is C18H19BN2O4S with a molecular weight of 370.23. The boronic acid group forms reversible covalent bonds with cis-diol-containing compounds, such as carbohydrates, glycoproteins, and nucleosides, while the dansyl group provides fluorescence (λex~335 nm, λem~520 nm) for detection. This makes it a valuable tool for studying and quantifying glycosylated biomolecules, including glucose and sialic acid, in various biological samples. Its reversible binding mechanism allows for real-time monitoring of carbohydrate interactions and dynamics. It also serves as an inhibitor for certain serine proteases and lipases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cis-diols (carbohydrates, glycoproteins, glycans, sialic acid), as well as serine proteases and lipases. The primary mechanism of action involves the ability of the boronic acid moiety to form reversible covalent bonds with the cis-diol groups of carbohydrates, facilitating the detection and quantification of glycosylated compounds. The dansyl group provides a fluorescent signal that changes upon binding, enabling sensitive measurements. Additionally, the compound inhibits certain serine proteases and lipases by forming covalent bonds with serine residues in the active sites of these enzymes, allowing researchers to study enzymatic mechanisms and pathways.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 3-(Dansylamino)phenylboronic acid is used as a fluorescence-based probe for the detection of glucose and other saccharides. At concentrations of 10-100 uM, it binds to sialic acid residues on cell surfaces and glycoproteins, resulting in changes in fluorescence intensity that can be correlated with the concentration of the target analyte. It has been employed in fluorometric measurement of glycosylated albumin in human serum, providing insights into diabetes management and related conditions. The compound also acts as an inhibitor for certain serine proteases and lipases, with IC50 values in the micromolar range. Its ability to form reversible covalent bonds with active-site serines allows detailed studies of enzyme kinetics and inhibition mechanisms.
ln Vivo
In vivo applications of 3-(Dansylamino)phenylboronic acid are primarily explored in the context of imaging glycosylation patterns or enzyme activity in animal models. Fluorescent probes based on this compound could be used for real-time monitoring of glucose levels in diabetic animal models, although detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited. Its relatively low toxicity and reversible binding make it a candidate for in vivo diagnostic imaging. However, most of the published research focuses on in vitro or ex vivo applications, such as analyzing glycosylation of proteins in tissue extracts or labeling glycoproteins in fixed cells. Further studies are needed to validate its in vivo utility for imaging and therapeutic applications.
Enzyme Assay
In a typical cell-free binding assay, 3-(Dansylamino)phenylboronic acid is dissolved in a suitable buffer (e.g., 50 mM phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4) at a concentration of 10-50 uM. A solution containing cis-diols (e.g., D-glucose, D-fructose, sialic acid) at various concentrations (0-100 mM) is added to the probe solution. The mixture is incubated at room temperature for 10-30 minutes to allow binding equilibrium to be reached. Fluorescence intensity is measured using a fluorimeter or plate reader with excitation at 335-350 nm and emission at 520-550 nm. An increase or decrease in fluorescence upon addition of the carbohydrate indicates binding. The dissociation constant (Kd) can be calculated by fitting the fluorescence change as a function of carbohydrate concentration to a binding isotherm. For competition assays, other boronic acid derivatives or known binding inhibitors can be added to evaluate specificity.
Cell Assay
A typical cell labeling protocol involves the following steps. Cells (e.g., HeLa, CHO, or primary neurons) are seeded on coverslips or in 96-well plates at 1×10⁴-5×10⁴ cells per well 24 hours prior to staining. 3-(Dansylamino)phenylboronic acid is prepared as a 10 mM stock solution in DMSO, then diluted to a working concentration of 10-100 uM in serum-free medium or HEPES buffer (pH 7.4). Cells are washed twice with PBS, then incubated with the diluted dye solution for 15-30 minutes at 37degC or room temperature. After incubation, cells are washed 3 times with PBS to remove unbound probe. If desired, cells can be fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10-15 minutes at room temperature before imaging. Fluorescence imaging is performed using a fluorescence microscope or confocal microscope with excitation at 340-380 nm (UV/blue) and emission at 520-550 nm (green). For flow cytometry analysis, cells are detached with trypsin, washed with PBS, and resuspended at 1×10⁶ cells/mL for analysis on a flow cytometer equipped with a UV laser (355 nm) and a 525 nm emission filter. For live-cell imaging, cells are kept in phenol red-free medium and imaged at 37degC with 5% CO2.
Animal Protocol
In vivo administration protocols for 3-(Dansylamino)phenylboronic acid are not well-documented in the literature due to its primary use as an in vitro probe. For potential in vivo imaging studies, the compound may be prepared in sterile PBS or 5% DMSO/PBS at a concentration of 1-10 mg/mL. Intravenous injection (tail vein) of 50-200 uL (dose of 1-10 mg/kg) may be administered to anesthetized mice. Animals can be imaged at various time points (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24 hours post-injection) using an in vivo imaging system with excitation at 350-380 nm and emission at 520-560 nm. For tissue distribution studies, mice are euthanized at predetermined time points, and organs (liver, spleen, kidney, lung, heart, brain) are harvested for fluorescence imaging and quantification. Tissue sections may be prepared for histological analysis to assess probe localization. However, it is important to note that in vivo imaging may be challenging due to the UV excitation requirement (which suffers from poor tissue penetration and high autofluorescence). Researchers are advised to use near-infrared probes for deep tissue imaging.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for 3-(Dansylamino)phenylboronic acid is limited due to its status as a research chemical. Based on its low molecular weight (370.23 Da) and the presence of a dansyl group, the compound is expected to be moderately lipophilic (estimated logP ~ 1.5-2.5). After intravenous administration, the compound likely has a circulation half-life of 0.5-2 hours, with rapid distribution into tissues. The boronic acid group may interact with plasma proteins, leading to moderate protein binding (~70-90%). The compound is likely metabolized in the liver via oxidation, glucuronidation, or sulfation, with metabolites excreted in the urine and feces. The dansyl group provides fluorescence that could be used to track its distribution ex vivo. For accurate quantitative PK data, researchers are advised to perform custom studies using HPLC-MS/MS, as publicly available data is scarce.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 3-(Dansylamino)phenylboronic acid indicates that it is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use. The compound may be an irritant to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Standard laboratory safety precautions, including the use of gloves, a lab coat, and eye protection, should be followed when handling the compound. Avoid inhalation of dust or contact with skin. In vitro cytotoxicity studies suggest that the compound is relatively non-toxic at concentrations up to 100 uM in cell culture, with no significant reduction in cell viability compared to controls. In vivo acute toxicity data are limited; however, compounds containing boronic acid groups are generally considered to have low acute toxicity. No long-term carcinogenicity or reproductive toxicity studies have been conducted.

The compound is soluble in DMSO (10-20 mg/mL), DMF, and methanol, but has limited aqueous solubility. It should be stored at -20degC, protected from light, and in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. Stock solutions in DMSO can be stored at -20degC for up to 3 months. The compound is widely used for the detection and quantification of carbohydrates in solution, for labeling glycoproteins in cell lysates or on cell surfaces, and as an inhibitor in enzyme studies. Synonyms include D0520, (3-(((5-(Dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl)sulfonyl)amino)phenyl)boronic acid, and [3-[(5-Dimethylamino-1-naphthyl)sulfonylamino]phenyl]boronic acid.
