| Targets |
HBC targets RNA by binding to the Pepper RNA aptamer. The Pepper aptamer is an RNA sequence that specifically recognizes and binds HBC with high affinity. HBC is nonfluorescent in solution, but upon binding to the Pepper aptamer, it undergoes a conformational change that activates its fluorescence. This enables the specific labeling and imaging of RNA molecules in live cells. The high affinity binding (Kd of ~3.5 nM) allows for sensitive detection of RNA targets.

| ln Vitro |
HBC doesn't glow in solution, but when intramolecular mobility is constrained, it does [1].
In vitro, HBC demonstrates high affinity binding to the Pepper RNA aptamer with a Kd of ~3.5 nM. It is nonfluorescent in solution but emits bright fluorescence upon binding to the Pepper aptamer. The Pepper-HBC 530 complex displays excitation/emission maxima of 485/530 nm. These in vitro characteristics make HBC a valuable tool for RNA imaging in live cells. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo data for HBC is derived from its use in live cell imaging applications. HBC has been used in the live cell imaging of RNA. When combined with Pepper RNA aptamer, HBC forms a tight complex and activates bright fluorescence, enabling visualization of RNA localization and dynamics in living cells. These applications support its utility as a fluorescent probe for studying RNA biology in live cell models. However, specific published in vivo efficacy studies in animal models are not applicable for this imaging probe.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro RNA aptamer binding assay for HBC uses the Pepper RNA aptamer. Binding affinity is measured using fluorescence titration, where increasing concentrations of HBC are added to the Pepper aptamer and the increase in fluorescence is monitored. Kd values are calculated from binding curves. The excitation and emission spectra of the Pepper-HBC complex are measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for HBC are conducted in live cells expressing the Pepper RNA aptamer. Cells are incubated with HBC, and RNA localization is visualized using fluorescence microscopy or confocal imaging. The Pepper-HBC 530 complex displays excitation/emission maxima of 485/530 nm. The compound's low fluorescence background in the absence of the aptamer allows for specific detection of RNA targets.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo imaging studies for HBC are conducted in live cell models and potentially in small animal models expressing the Pepper RNA aptamer. The compound is administered to cells or animals, and fluorescence imaging is performed to visualize RNA localization and dynamics. The Pepper-HBC complex enables real-time monitoring of RNA in living systems. However, specific published in vivo protocols in animal models are not detailed in the available literature. HBC is primarily used as a research tool for RNA imaging.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for HBC is not applicable for this imaging probe as it is used for in vitro and live cell imaging applications rather than systemic drug administration. The compound has a molecular weight of 303.36 g/mol and a molecular formula of C19H17N3O. Storage conditions: store at -20°C. As a fluorescent dye, it is typically used at low concentrations for imaging applications. Detailed PK parameters are not relevant for this research tool.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity data for HBC is limited as it is used as an imaging probe rather than a therapeutic compound. As with all research compounds, HBC is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications. Standard in vitro cytotoxicity assays would be required to assess potential toxicity in live cell imaging applications. The compound's low fluorescence background makes it suitable for sensitive detection.
