Product Description
4-(Aminosulfonyl)-7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (ABD-F) is a sensitive and specific fluorescent reagent for the detection of thiols. 4-(Aminosulfonyl)-7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole has low fluorescence background and good fluorophore stability.
4-(Aminosulfonyl)-7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (CAS 91366-65-3), also known as ABD-F, is a fluorogenic reagent first synthesized for the selective detection of thiol groups (-SH) in biological systems. Its molecular formula is C6H4FN3O3S and molecular weight is 217.18 g/mol. ABD-F is a sensitive and specific fluorescent reagent for the detection of thiols, characterized by low fluorescence background and good fluorophore stability. The compound reacts with thiol groups to form stable thiol conjugates.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The target of ABD-F is thiol groups (-SH) in biological molecules, including cysteine residues in proteins and small molecule thiols like glutathione. Its mechanism of action is a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction: the fluorine atom on the benzoxadiazole ring is displaced by the thiolate anion (-S⁻) of the target thiol under mildly basic conditions. This reaction results in the formation of a stable thioether conjugate with the benzoxadiazole fluorophore. The reaction converts the non-fluorescent or weakly fluorescent reagent into a highly fluorescent product, enabling sensitive detection of thiols.
ln Vitro
In vitro, ABD-F is used as a fluorescent reagent for the detection and quantification of thiols. Its low fluorescence background and good fluorophore stability make it an excellent choice for thiol detection assays. Compared to other thiol-reactive reagents such as NBD chloride or NBD fluoride, ABD-F offers the advantage of producing stable thiol conjugates with superior fluorescence properties. The compound is used in various biochemical applications, including the determination of thiol groups in proteins, the measurement of glutathione levels in cells, and the analysis of redox status.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of ABD-F is not typically studied, as it is a fluorescent reagent for thiol detection in vitro. However, thiol-reactive probes can be used to label and track thiol-containing biomolecules in living cells or organisms. ABD-F could potentially be used to label cysteine-containing proteins or to monitor changes in thiol redox status in vivo. Its cell permeability and reactivity with intracellular thiols would determine its utility for such applications, but specific in vivo data is not available.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cell) assays using ABD-F typically involve the detection and quantification of thiols. A standard protocol for thiol determination: a sample containing thiols (e.g., protein solution or cell lysate) is incubated with ABD-F in a buffer at a specific pH (e.g., pH 8.0) for a defined period (e.g., 30-60 minutes) at room temperature or 37°C. The reaction is stopped by the addition of an acid, and the fluorescence of the resulting solution is measured using a fluorometer with excitation at 385 nm and emission at 515 nm. The thiol concentration is determined by comparing the fluorescence to a standard curve prepared with a known thiol compound, such as cysteine or glutathione.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays using ABD-F would involve labeling intracellular thiols. A standard protocol: cells are cultured in a suitable medium and treated with ABD-F (e.g., 10-100 µM) for a period of time (e.g., 30-60 minutes) at 37°C. Cells are then washed with PBS to remove unreacted dye. The labeled cells can be analyzed by flow cytometry to measure the fluorescence intensity, which reflects the cellular thiol content. Alternatively, cells can be lysed, and the lysate can be analyzed by fluorescence spectroscopy or HPLC to quantify labeled thiols. This assay can be used to study changes in cellular redox status in response to oxidative stress or drug treatment.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for ABD-F are not well-documented. For thiol-reactive probes, a potential application is the imaging of thiols in living animals. A standard protocol: ABD-F or a similar thiol-reactive probe is administered intravenously or intraperitoneally to mice. After a period for distribution and reaction (e.g., 1-2 hours), animals are euthanized, and tissues are collected. Tissue sections are prepared and analyzed under a fluorescence microscope to visualize the distribution of labeled thiols. Alternatively, tissues can be homogenized, and the fluorescence can be quantified. Such studies would provide information on the thiol content and redox status of different tissues.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of ABD-F are not well-characterized. As a small molecule (MW 217.18 g/mol), it is likely to be cell-permeable. Its reactivity with thiols means that once it enters cells, it will rapidly react with intracellular thiols, forming stable conjugates. The compound is typically stored at room temperature or refrigerated, protected from light. Its solubility in aqueous buffers and organic solvents facilitates its use in various assays. The compound's stability and low fluorescence background are key advantages for its application as a thiol detection reagent.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity data for ABD-F is limited. As a fluorogenic reagent, it is generally handled with standard laboratory precautions. The compound contains a fluorine atom and a sulfonamide group, which may pose some toxicity concerns. However, at the concentrations typically used for thiol detection assays (micromolar to low millimolar), it is not expected to be highly toxic. Nevertheless, inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact should be avoided. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn when handling the compound.
