Product Description
Biotin-azide (known also as N-(3-Azidopropyl)biotinamide) is azide form of biotin used to prepare various biotinylated conjugates via Click Chemistry, or a phosphine group, using Staudinger ligation. Biotin-azide has been commonly used to biotin-tag alkynylated lipids, particularly those associated with proteins through post-translational modification. It can also be used to biotin-tag proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids that have been modified with alkyne or phosphine groups.
Biotin-azide (N-(3-Azidopropyl)biotinamide) is a versatile click chemistry reagent featuring a terminal azide moiety. It is used to prepare various biotinylated conjugates via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry with molecules containing alkyne groups. The compound can also be used with phosphine groups via Staudinger ligation. Biotin-azide enables the incorporation of biotin and biotin derivatives into biomolecules that contain alkyne groups, making it valuable for bioconjugation, protein labeling, and detection applications. The biotin moiety allows for subsequent detection or purification using streptavidin-based methods.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Biotin-azide is a click chemistry reagent that targets molecules containing terminal alkyne groups. The azide moiety undergoes copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) with alkynes, forming a stable triazole linkage. This reaction is bioorthogonal, meaning it proceeds in mild, aqueous conditions without interfering with biological functions. Biotin-azide can also undergo Staudinger ligation with phosphine groups. The biotin moiety of the conjugate enables high-affinity binding to streptavidin or avidin, allowing for detection (e.g., Western blot, ELISA, fluorescence microscopy) or purification (e.g., affinity chromatography) of labeled biomolecules.
ln Vitro
By functionalizing yeast cells with click chemistry and then cross-linking with biotin-conjugates, recombinant protein complexes can be extracted [3].
Biotin-azide is a click chemistry reagent that undergoes copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition with alkyne-containing molecules. It can be used to prepare various biotinylated conjugates via click chemistry. The compound enables the isolation of protein adducts of lipid-derived electrophiles. Biotin-azide is used in mild and aqueous conditions for biotinylation of biomolecules. The biotin moiety enables subsequent detection or purification using streptavidin-based methods.
ln Vivo
Biotin-azide is used in in vivo labeling applications for the detection of alkyne-tagged biomolecules in living systems. The compound can be administered to cells or animals to label alkyne-containing metabolites, proteins, or other biomolecules via click chemistry. The biotinylated conjugates can then be detected or purified using streptavidin-based methods. However, detailed in vivo activity data are limited as biotin-azide is primarily a labeling reagent rather than a therapeutic compound.
Enzyme Assay
Click chemistry reactions with biotin-azide are performed under standard CuAAC conditions. The reaction mixture contains the alkyne-containing molecule, biotin-azide, copper sulfate (CuSO4), a reducing agent (e.g., sodium ascorbate or tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine, TCEP), and a ligand (e.g., TBTA or THPTA) to stabilize the copper and accelerate the reaction. The reaction is typically carried out in aqueous buffer (e.g., PBS, pH 7.4) at room temperature for 1-24 hours. The reaction progress is monitored by mass spectrometry or gel electrophoresis. The biotinylated product is detected using streptavidin-HRP or fluorescent streptavidin conjugates.
Cell Assay
Cellular labeling assays with biotin-azide typically involve cells that have been metabolically labeled with alkyne-containing analogs (e.g., alkyne-modified amino acids, sugars, or nucleotides). After washing, cells are incubated with biotin-azide under CuAAC conditions (typically 10-100 μM biotin-azide, 1 mM CuSO4, 5 mM sodium ascorbate, 100 μM TBTA) for 1-2 hours at room temperature. Cells are then washed and fixed. Biotinylated proteins or other biomolecules are detected using streptavidin conjugated to fluorophores, HRP, or other detection moieties. Alternatively, labeled proteins can be purified using streptavidin beads for downstream analysis.
Animal Protocol
In vivo labeling with biotin-azide typically involves administration of the compound to animals that have been pre-treated with alkyne-containing metabolic precursors. Biotin-azide is administered via intraperitoneal or intravenous injection, and tissues are collected after 1-24 hours. Tissue sections are processed for detection of biotinylated biomolecules using streptavidin-based methods. However, detailed published in vivo protocols for biotin-azide are limited as the compound is primarily used in vitro.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Biotin-azide has molecular formula C13H22N6O2S and molecular weight 326.42. It is soluble in DMSO (≥32.6 mg/mL) and ethanol (≥2.51 mg/mL with ultrasonic), and insoluble in water. The compound should be stored at -20°C. The azide moiety is stable under appropriate storage conditions but should be handled with care due to the potential for azide-related hazards. The compound is typically used at concentrations of 10-100 μM in click chemistry reactions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for biotin-azide are limited as it is a research reagent. The azide moiety may pose a toxicity risk, and the compound should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions. Azides can be toxic and potentially explosive, particularly when heated or in the presence of heavy metals. Standard safety protocols for handling azides should be followed. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human use.
