| Targets |
5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein does not have a specific therapeutic target but serves as a fluorescent probe for labeling biomolecules and measuring intracellular pH. Its carboxyl group reacts with amines to form stable amide bonds, allowing it to be conjugated to proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules. Its fluorescence is pH-sensitive, making it useful for measuring changes in intracellular pH. It does not have pharmacological activity but is a valuable tool for fluorescence-based applications in research.

| ln Vitro |
5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein has two key characteristics: it has two maximum absorbance wavelengths (465 and 490 nm), and its fluorescence emission (maximum 515 nm) varies with pH in the physiological pH range 6-7.4. increases due to modifications [2].
In vitro, 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein is used as a fluorescent probe for labeling biomolecules. It is used for measuring changes in intracellular pH. The compound's fluorescence is excited at approximately 488 nm and emits at approximately 520 nm. It is used in flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, and other fluorescence-based applications. Its amine-reactive property allows it to be conjugated to antibodies, proteins, and other molecules for detection and imaging. |
| ln Vivo |
5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein (5 mg/kg; i.p.) can be applied to the mapping of tumor tissue's pH in vivo [2].
In vivo, 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein is not used as a therapeutic agent. Its application is limited to in vitro research applications. The compound is not administered to animals or humans for therapeutic purposes. Its use is strictly confined to laboratory settings. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro non-cell assays for 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein are not applicable, as it is a fluorescent dye. Its properties are characterized by its spectral characteristics (excitation and emission maxima) and its pH sensitivity. Its purity is assessed by HPLC or other analytical methods.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein involve using the dye to label cells or biomolecules for fluorescence-based detection. Cells can be loaded with the dye or its derivatives to measure intracellular pH. The dye can also be conjugated to antibodies or other probes for immunostaining or flow cytometry. Its fluorescence is measured using a fluorescence plate reader, flow cytometer, or fluorescence microscope.

| Solubility (In Vitro) |
DMSO : ~62.5 mg/mL (~83.04 mM)

|---|---|
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.08 mg/mL (2.76 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
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.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

| 10 mM | 0.1329 mL | 0.6643 mL | 1.3287 mL |
*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.
