Product Description
5-DTAF is a fluorescein isomer analogue that reacts directly with polysaccharides and other alcohols in aqueous solutions at pH > 9. After excitation at 488 nm, the maximum emission line of 5-DTAF is at a wavelength of 518 nm.
5-DTAF (CAS 51306-35-5) is a fluorescein isomer derivative that reacts directly with polysaccharides and other alcohols in aqueous solutions at pH > 9. Its molecular formula is C23H12Cl2N4O5 and molecular weight is 495.27 g/mol. Upon excitation at 488 nm, the maximum emission line of 5-DTAF is at 518 nm. It is also known as 5-(4,6-Dichloro-s-triazin-2-ylamino)fluorescein hydrochloride. The presence of a dichlorotriazine group makes it highly reactive, allowing it to form covalent bonds with various biomolecules.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
5-DTAF does not have a specific biological target as a drug. Its primary application is as a fluorescent labeling reagent for polysaccharides and other alcohols. The dichlorotriazine group reacts with hydroxyl groups to form covalent bonds. This reactivity is exploited to label carbohydrates, glycoproteins, and other hydroxyl-containing biomolecules. The fluorescein moiety provides bright green fluorescence upon excitation, enabling detection and tracking of the labeled molecules.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 5-DTAF is a fluorescein isomer derivative that reacts directly with polysaccharides and other alcohols in aqueous solutions at pH > 9. Upon excitation at 488 nm, its maximum emission line is at 518 nm. The compound is used as a fluorescent label to track biomolecules in cells and tissues. Its reactivity with hydroxyl groups allows for the labeling of a wide range of biomolecules.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of 5-DTAF is not typically studied, as it is a fluorescent labeling reagent rather than a bioactive drug. However, the labeled biomolecules (e.g., labeled polysaccharides) could be used in vivo for imaging or tracking purposes. The dye's green fluorescence would allow for detection using standard fluorescence imaging systems.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cell) assays using 5-DTAF typically involve labeling polysaccharides or other hydroxyl-containing compounds with the dye. A standard protocol for labeling a polysaccharide: the polysaccharide is dissolved in a buffer at pH > 9. 5-DTAF is added to the polysaccharide solution, and the reaction mixture is incubated at room temperature for several hours. The labeled polysaccharide is purified by dialysis or precipitation. The degree of labeling is determined by measuring the absorbance at 488 nm and the polysaccharide concentration.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays using 5-DTAF are not common, as it is primarily used for labeling extracellular biomolecules. However, it could be used to label cell surface carbohydrates. A standard protocol: cells are harvested and incubated with 5-DTAF in a buffer at pH > 9. The cells are washed to remove unreacted dye. The labeled cells can be analyzed by flow cytometry to assess the expression of specific carbohydrates on the cell surface. Alternatively, the labeled cells can be visualized by fluorescence microscopy.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for 5-DTAF are not typically performed for the compound itself. However, 5-DTAF-labeled biomolecules could be administered to animals for tracking purposes. For example, a 5-DTAF-labeled polysaccharide could be injected intravenously, and its distribution in the body could be monitored by measuring the fluorescence in blood and tissues. Such studies would require careful consideration of the dye's properties and the stability of the labeled molecule.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 5-DTAF are not a primary focus of study. The compound is a reactive labeling reagent that is typically used in vitro. Once conjugated to a biomolecule, the pharmacokinetics of the conjugate are determined by the biomolecule rather than the dye. The compound is typically stored as a powder and protected from light.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity data for 5-DTAF is limited. As a chemical reagent, it should be handled with standard laboratory precautions. The compound contains a dichlorotriazine group, which is reactive and may cause irritation. Inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact should be avoided. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.
