Product Description
3-[N-(7'-nitrobenz-2'-oxa-1',3'-diazol-4'-yl)amino]propanic acid
3-[N-(7'-nitrobenz-2'-oxa-1',3'-diazol-4'-yl)amino]propanoic acid (CAS# 149079-60-7), also known as NBD-β-alanine or 3-((7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazol-4-yl)amino)propanoic acid, is a fluorescent compound containing a nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) fluorophore. It has a molecular formula of C9H8N4O5 and a molecular weight of 252.19 g/mol. The compound is a derivative of β-alanine conjugated to the NBD fluorophore. It is used as a fluorescent probe for the detection and quantification of various analytes, including amino acids and other biomolecules. The NBD fluorophore is known for its high fluorescence quantum yield, sensitivity to environmental polarity, and solvatochromic properties. The compound is typically provided as a solid with a purity of ≥98%. The compound has a predicted LogP of approximately 1.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The molecular targets of 3-[N-(7'-nitrobenz-2'-oxa-1',3'-diazol-4'-yl)amino]propanoic acid are not biological targets per se, as the compound is a fluorescent probe rather than a therapeutic agent. The NBD fluorophore is used for labeling and detecting biological molecules. The compound can be conjugated to various biomolecules (proteins, peptides, nucleic acids) through its carboxyl group or amino group to create fluorescently labeled probes for biological imaging and analysis. The NBD fluorophore is sensitive to its environment, with fluorescence intensity and wavelength depending on the polarity of the surrounding medium, allowing it to be used for studying protein conformational changes, membrane dynamics, and other biological processes. The β-alanine moiety provides a linker between the fluorophore and the molecule of interest, and it is derived from the amino acid β-alanine. The compound's nitro group may also allow for the detection of reducing conditions or for the formation of conjugates with thiol-containing molecules.
ln Vitro
In vitro activity of 3-[N-(7'-nitrobenz-2'-oxa-1',3'-diazol-4'-yl)amino]propanoic acid is related to its fluorescent properties rather than biological activity. The compound exhibits strong fluorescence with excitation maxima at approximately 460-480 nm and emission maxima at approximately 520-550 nm, depending on the solvent polarity. In aqueous solutions, the fluorescence is typically green-yellow. The compound's fluorescence is pH-dependent, with changes in intensity and wavelength at different pH values due to protonation of the amino group. The compound can be used as a fluorescent labeling reagent for amino acids, peptides, and proteins in various analytical applications, including HPLC and capillary electrophoresis. In cell-based assays, the compound can be used to label cellular proteins or to study cellular uptake of β-alanine derivatives through amino acid transporters. The compound's fluorescence can be detected by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or fluorescence spectroscopy. Specific biological activities (e.g., IC50 against specific targets) are not relevant for this compound.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of 3-[N-(7'-nitrobenz-2'-oxa-1',3'-diazol-4'-yl)amino]propanoic acid is limited, as the compound is primarily used as an in vitro analytical tool rather than an in vivo therapeutic or imaging agent. However, NBD-labeled compounds have been used in vivo for imaging and tracking of biomolecules in small animals. The compound's small size and moderate lipophilicity (LogP ~1) may allow for cellular penetration and distribution in tissues. The fluorescence of the NBD fluorophore allows for detection of the compound in vivo, though the short wavelength (green-yellow fluorescence) limits its depth penetration compared to near-infrared fluorophores. The compound's stability in biological fluids and its potential metabolism (e.g., reduction of the nitro group, cleavage of the amide bond) would affect its in vivo utility. For most applications, the compound is used in ex vivo or in vitro settings for analytical and diagnostic purposes rather than for in vivo studies.
Enzyme Assay
For fluorescence-based assays with 3-[N-(7'-nitrobenz-2'-oxa-1',3'-diazol-4'-yl)amino]propanoic acid, the following protocol is used: the compound is dissolved in an appropriate solvent (e.g., DMSO, methanol, or aqueous buffer) to prepare a stock solution of 1-10 mM. For fluorescence measurements, the compound is diluted in the desired buffer or solvent to a final concentration of 0.1-10 μM. The fluorescence spectrum is recorded using a fluorescence spectrophotometer with excitation at 460-480 nm and emission at 520-550 nm. The quantum yield and fluorescence intensity can be determined using a reference standard such as fluorescein (quantum yield 0.92 in 0.1 M NaOH). For pH dependence studies, the compound is diluted in buffers of various pH values (2-12), and the fluorescence intensity is measured. For solvatochromism studies, the compound is diluted in solvents of different polarity (water, methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, DMSO, etc.), and the emission maximum and intensity are recorded. For labeling reactions, the compound's carboxyl group is activated with EDC/NHS for conjugation to amine-containing molecules (e.g., proteins, peptides). The labeled product is purified by size-exclusion chromatography or HPLC, and the labeling efficiency is assessed by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy.
Cell Assay
For cell-based assays with NBD-labeled probes, the following typical protocol is used: cells (e.g., HeLa, HEK293, or primary cells) are cultured on coverslips or in 96-well plates at 37°C in 5% CO₂. The NBD-labeled probe (conjugated to a protein or peptide of interest) is added to the culture medium at concentrations of 0.1-10 μM and incubated for 1-24 hours. Cells are washed with PBS to remove unbound probe. For fluorescence microscopy, cells are fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and mounted on slides. Images are acquired using a fluorescence microscope with a FITC or GFP filter set (excitation 460-490 nm, emission 515-530 nm). For flow cytometry analysis, cells are trypsinized, resuspended in PBS, and analyzed on a flow cytometer with a 488 nm laser and a 530 nm emission filter. For quantification of cellular uptake, cells are lysed and the fluorescence is measured using a microplate reader. For live-cell imaging, cells are maintained at 37°C during imaging. For studies on protein conformational changes, the NBD-labeled protein is exposed to various conditions (e.g., different pH, temperature, or ligands), and the change in fluorescence intensity or wavelength is monitored.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
