| Targets |
5(6)-Carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate does not have a specific biological target in the traditional pharmacological sense. Its mechanism of action is chemical and relates to its use as a fluorogenic probe. The compound is a non-fluorescent, membrane-permeable diacetate ester that is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to release the fluorescent carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (CDF) product. The fluorescence of CDF is dependent on intracellular esterase activity and can also be used to measure intracellular pH due to the pH-sensitivity of CDF fluorescence.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
5(6)-Carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate is non-fluorescent in its intact form. Upon hydrolysis by intracellular esterases, it is converted to the fluorescent carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (CDF), which has excitation and emission maxima at approximately 495 nm and 520 nm, respectively. The fluorescence intensity is proportional to the esterase activity in the cell and can also be used as an indicator of cell viability. The compound does not exhibit pharmacological activity; its utility is as a fluorogenic probe for cell biology research.
|
| ln Vivo |
5(6)-Carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate does not have in vivo pharmacological activity. It is a fluorogenic probe used for research applications, primarily in vitro and ex vivo, to assess cell viability, esterase activity, and phagocytosis. The compound may be used in flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy applications with cells isolated from animal models, but this is for research purposes and not for therapeutic evaluation.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
5(6)-Carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate is used as a fluorogenic probe in non-cellular assays to measure esterase activity. In a typical assay, the compound is dissolved in an appropriate buffer, and esterase enzyme (e.g., from porcine liver) is added. The hydrolysis of the compound is monitored by measuring the increase in fluorescence over time using a spectrofluorometer or fluorescence microplate reader with excitation at 495 nm and emission at 520 nm.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for 5(6)-Carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate typically involve loading cells with the probe to assess esterase activity, cell viability, or phagocytosis. Cells are incubated with the compound at concentrations of 1-10 μM for 15-60 minutes. The non-fluorescent diacetate ester enters cells and is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to the fluorescent CDF product. Fluorescence is measured using flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. For phagocytosis assays, fluorescently labeled particles are used in combination with CDFDA to distinguish phagocytic cells from non-phagocytic cells.
|
| Animal Protocol |
5(6)-Carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate is not used in in vivo animal studies as a therapeutic or pharmacological agent. Its application is limited to ex vivo analysis of cells collected from animals. For example, cells isolated from blood, tissues, or tumors can be stained with CDFDA and analyzed by flow cytometry to assess cell viability, esterase activity, or phagocytic function.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
5(6)-Carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate is not a drug and does not have pharmacokinetic properties. Its physical and chemical properties are more relevant: it is a fluorogenic probe with a molecular weight of 529.28 and a molecular formula of C₂₅H₁₄Cl₂O₉. The compound is soluble in DMSO and is typically prepared as a stock solution in DMSO for addition to aqueous buffers or cell culture media.
