| Targets |
Target: pH-sensitive fluorescent probe / Intracellular pH indicator. DHPDS disodium salt functions as a fluorescent dye that is sensitive to changes in pH, allowing real-time monitoring of intracellular pH in living cells and tissues. It accumulates in cells and its fluorescence intensity varies with pH, enabling quantitative pH measurements.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, DHPDS disodium salt is used as a pH-sensitive fluorescent probe in cell-based assays to measure intracellular pH changes. It is loaded into cells, and upon excitation at appropriate wavelengths, its fluorescence emission intensity varies proportionally to the pH of the cellular environment. No direct pharmacological activity is reported.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, DHPDS disodium salt has been used to measure intracellular pH (pHi) from the surface fluorescence of isolated perfused rat liver. It is not used for therapeutic purposes but rather as a research tool to study pH regulation in organ perfusion models and to assess cellular metabolic states under various conditions.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For cell-free assays: DHPDS disodium salt is dissolved in an appropriate buffer solution at a concentration of 10-100 uM. Excitation is performed at 350-400 nm, and emission is measured at 450-550 nm. Fluorescence intensity is recorded using a spectrofluorometer or plate reader, and pH calibration curves are constructed using standard buffers of known pH.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cell assays: cells are loaded with DHPDS disodium salt (typically 5-50 uM) in culture medium for 30-60 min at 37degC, washed to remove extracellular dye, and then imaged using a fluorescence microscope or plate reader. The ratio of fluorescence at two excitation wavelengths (e.g., 350/400 nm) is used to calculate intracellular pH.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For animal studies: in the isolated perfused rat liver model, the liver is perfused with buffer containing DHPDS disodium salt. Surface fluorescence is measured using a fiber-optic probe or imaging system. The fluorescence ratio is calibrated to determine intracellular pH (pHi) in real time, enabling studies of hepatic pH regulation and metabolic function.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PK properties are not reported for DHPDS disodium salt as it is a fluorescent dye used for ex vivo and in vitro applications, not a systemically administered drug. It is typically used for loading into cells or isolated organs, and its fluorescence decay and retention are dependent on the experimental conditions rather than systemic ADME parameters.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No significant toxicity is reported for DHPDS disodium salt at typical experimental concentrations (5-50 uM). It is for research use only and not intended for human therapeutic applications. As a fluorescent dye, it may cause mild phototoxicity under prolonged light exposure, but no acute systemic toxicity has been documented.

| Additional Infomation |
DHPDS disodium salt is a research reagent, not a drug. It is not FDA-approved for clinical use. It is widely used in cell biology and physiology research for monitoring intracellular pH dynamics, studying pH regulation in disease models (e.g., ischemia, cancer, inflammation), and evaluating drug effects on cellular pH homeostasis. It is also used as a fluorescent probe in high-content screening applications.

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).
