| Targets |
HADA hydrochloride targets the peptidoglycan (PG) biosynthesis machinery of bacteria. Peptidoglycan is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria, providing structural integrity and protection. HADA is a fluorescent D-amino acid that is incorporated into the peptidoglycan at sites of active synthesis by the bacterial transpeptidase and transglycosylase enzymes. Because D-amino acids are not typically used by mammalian cells, HADA specifically labels bacterial cells without affecting eukaryotic cells. The compound's ability to label peptidoglycan makes it a valuable tool for studying bacterial growth, cell division, and antibiotic susceptibility.

| ln Vitro |
FDAA labeling for organisms that develop quickly (like E. Coli) only takes 30 seconds. HADA hydrochloride offers the most reliable and consistent PG labeling for the majority of bacterial species and typically does not require significant adjustment, despite being less photostable and darker than FDL or TDL [1].
In vitro, HADA hydrochloride is used for the fluorescent labeling of peptidoglycans in live bacteria. The compound is efficiently incorporated into the peptidoglycan at sites of biosynthesis, allowing the visualization of bacterial cell walls by fluorescence microscopy. HADA labeling results in strong peripheral and septal staining of diverse bacterial cell populations, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The labeling is rapid, with incorporation observed within 30 seconds for rapidly growing species such as E. coli. The compound does not affect bacterial growth rates, making it suitable for time-lapse imaging of bacterial growth and division. HADA can also be used in combination with other fluorescent probes for multiplexed imaging. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, HADA hydrochloride is used for labeling bacteria in living organisms, such as in animal models of infection or in the gut microbiome. The compound can be administered to animals to label bacteria in situ, allowing the visualization of bacterial populations and their spatial distribution in tissues. HADA labeling has been used to study the dynamics of bacterial colonization, biofilm formation, and the effects of antibiotics on bacterial growth in vivo. The compound's specificity for bacterial peptidoglycan makes it a valuable tool for studying host-bacteria interactions and for tracking bacterial pathogens in infection models. The fluorescence of HADA allows for real-time imaging of bacterial growth and division in living animals.

| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro binding/incorporation assays for HADA hydrochloride are performed by incubating bacteria with the fluorescent probe. Bacteria (e.g., E. coli, Bacillus subtilis) are grown to mid-log phase and incubated with HADA at concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 μM for 10-60 minutes. After washing to remove unbound probe, bacteria are fixed and examined by fluorescence microscopy. The incorporation of HADA into peptidoglycan is visualized as fluorescent labeling of the cell wall, with characteristic patterns depending on the bacterial species and growth phase. The labeling efficiency can be quantified by flow cytometry or by measuring fluorescence intensity. The assay includes controls (bacteria incubated without HADA or with non-fluorescent D-amino acids).
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for HADA hydrochloride are performed using bacterial cultures grown in liquid media or on agar plates. Bacteria are incubated with HADA (typically 10-50 μM) for 10-60 minutes, depending on the species and growth rate. After labeling, bacteria are washed and examined by fluorescence microscopy. HADA labeling allows the visualization of bacterial morphology, cell division, and the effects of antibiotics on cell wall synthesis. Time-lapse microscopy can be used to track bacterial growth and division in real-time. The compound can be used in combination with other fluorescent dyes (e.g., membrane dyes, nucleic acid stains) for multiplexed imaging. The labeling efficiency and specificity are assessed by comparing fluorescence intensity with controls.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with HADA hydrochloride are conducted in mouse models of bacterial infection. Mice are infected with a bacterial pathogen (e.g., E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus) and then administered HADA via intravenous, intraperitoneal, or oral routes. The compound is allowed to circulate and label bacteria in vivo. After a suitable labeling period, tissues are collected, and bacterial labeling is visualized by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. The distribution of bacteria in tissues and the effects of antibiotics on bacterial growth can be assessed. The compound's specificity for bacterial peptidoglycan allows the selective labeling of bacteria in the presence of host cells.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of HADA hydrochloride have not been extensively characterized. As a small fluorescent D-amino acid (molecular weight 328.71), the compound is expected to have moderate aqueous solubility and membrane permeability. HADA is soluble in DMSO at 125 mg/mL and can be diluted in aqueous buffers for biological applications. The compound's stability in biological fluids and its tissue distribution would need to be determined for specific applications. For in vivo labeling, the compound is typically administered in saline or other suitable vehicles. The pharmacokinetics of HADA would depend on factors such as the route of administration, dose, and the presence of bacterial targets for the probe to bind to.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
HADA hydrochloride is generally considered to have low toxicity, as it is a fluorescent D-amino acid that specifically labels bacteria without affecting eukaryotic cells. The compound does not affect bacterial growth rates at labeling concentrations, indicating minimal interference with bacterial physiology. No specific toxicological studies have been reported in the literature. As a research chemical, standard safety precautions should be followed when handling HADA hydrochloride, including the use of personal protective equipment. The compound should be stored at -20°C and protected from light. HADA hydrochloride is for research use only and not for human or veterinary applications.

| Additional Infomation |
HADA hydrochloride is a member of the family of fluorescent D-amino acids (FDAAs) that are used for the labeling of peptidoglycan in bacteria. These probes have revolutionized the study of bacterial cell wall dynamics, allowing researchers to visualize bacterial growth, division, and the effects of antibiotics in real-time at the single-cell level. HADA is one of several FDAAs with different fluorescence colors (e.g., NADA, green; HADA, blue; TADA, red), enabling multiplexed imaging of bacterial populations. The probes are widely used in microbiology research to study bacterial physiology, host-pathogen interactions, and antibiotic mechanisms. HADA hydrochloride is available from chemical suppliers for research purposes only.
