| Targets |
CRANAD-2 targets amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregates, specifically Aβ plaques. It acts as a fluorescent probe, binding to Aβ aggregates with high affinity (Kd = 38 nM). Upon binding, its fluorescence properties change, allowing for the detection and imaging of Aβ plaques. This makes it a valuable tool for studying Alzheimer's disease and other conditions involving Aβ aggregation.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, CRANAD-2 has a high affinity for Aβ aggregates with a Kd of 38 nM. Upon binding to Aβ aggregates, it exhibits a 70-fold increase in fluorescence intensity, a 90 nm blue shift, and a large increase in quantum yield. These properties allow for sensitive detection of Aβ aggregates. It is a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe with excitation and emission in the NIR region.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, CRANAD-2 penetrates the blood-brain barrier and can be used for the detection of Aβ plaques in live animals. Upon interacting with Aβ aggregates, it undergoes changes in its fluorescence properties that allow for imaging. It has been used for in vivo detection of amyloid-beta deposits. Its NIR fluorescence allows for deep tissue imaging with minimal background autofluorescence.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
CRANAD-2 is characterized in cell-free systems for its photophysical properties and its affinity for Aβ aggregates. Its binding affinity (Kd) for Aβ aggregates is determined using fluorescence-based assays. The changes in fluorescence intensity, wavelength shift, and quantum yield upon binding are measured.
|
| Cell Assay |
CRANAD-2 is used in cell-based assays for imaging Aβ aggregates. Cells or tissues containing Aβ aggregates are incubated with CRANAD-2, and fluorescence imaging is performed to visualize the aggregates. However, specific cell-based assay protocols are not extensively documented. It is primarily used for in vivo imaging.
|
| Animal Protocol |
CRANAD-2 is administered intravenously in animal models, such as APP/PS1 transgenic mice, for in vivo imaging of Aβ plaques. Upon administration, it crosses the blood-brain barrier and binds to Aβ plaques, allowing for their detection using fluorescence imaging techniques. Its biodistribution and clearance are evaluated in these studies.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
