Product Description
Dibenzocyclooctyne-Cy5.5 (DBCO-Cy5.5) is a fluorescent dye reagent. Dibenzocyclooctyne-Cy5.5 synthesizes calcium-binding near-infrared fluorescent nanoprobes for bone tissue imaging.
Dibenzocyclooctyne-Cy5.5 (CAS#: 2643308-61-4) is a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye conjugated to a dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) group, also known as ADIBO (azadibenzocyclooctyne). It is a click chemistry reagent designed for copper-free strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions. The Cy5.5 fluorophore has excitation/emission maxima at approximately 678/694 nm, placing it within the NIR window I (650-900 nm) where tissue autofluorescence is minimal and penetration depth is maximized. This compound is supplied as a research-grade biochemical for bioimaging and bioconjugation applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Dibenzocyclooctyne-Cy5.5 is not a biological receptor but rather azide-functionalized biomolecules. The DBCO group undergoes rapid and specific reaction with azide groups via strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC), forming a stable triazole linkage without the need for a copper catalyst, which is often cytotoxic. The Cy5.5 fluorophore serves as a detection label, enabling visualization and tracking of azide-tagged molecules in biological systems.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Dibenzocyclooctyne-Cy5.5 is used to label azide-modified biomolecules such as proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, glycans, and lipids. The DBCO group reacts specifically with azides in a copper-free click reaction at room temperature, typically within 30-120 minutes. This labeling allows for the visualization of cellular components by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or in-gel fluorescence imaging. The near-infrared fluorescence of Cy5.5 minimizes background autofluorescence and phototoxicity, making it suitable for live-cell imaging.
ln Vivo
Dibenzocyclooctyne-Cy5.5 is not used as a systemic drug and therefore does not have traditional in vivo activity. However, it is used as an imaging probe in live animals for biodistribution studies, tumor imaging, and inflammation detection. When conjugated to an azide-tagged targeting ligand (e.g., antibody, peptide), the Cy5.5 fluorescence allows for non-invasive tracking of the ligand's distribution using NIR fluorescence imaging systems. This enables real-time visualization of disease sites, such as tumors or inflamed tissues, in live mice.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cell-based assay of click conjugation efficiency, a standard protocol uses HPLC or LC-MS analysis. DBCO-Cy5.5 is incubated with an azide-containing molecule (e.g., azido-PEG3-biotin) at a 1:1.2 molar ratio in PBS buffer (pH 7.4) at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is then analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC with fluorescence detection (Ex 650 nm, Em 670 nm) and UV-Vis detection. The conversion rate is calculated by comparing the peak areas of the product and residual starting material.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell labeling experiments, cells are first metabolically labeled with an azide-modified sugar (e.g., Ac4ManNAz for glycan labeling) by culturing in azide-supplemented media for 48-72 hours. Cells are then washed, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and incubated with 5-20 uM DBCO-Cy5.5 in PBS for 30-60 minutes at room temperature. After washing to remove unbound dye, cells are imaged by confocal microscopy or analyzed by flow cytometry to detect Cy5.5 fluorescence.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo imaging studies, a mouse xenograft tumor model is used. Tumor-bearing mice (e.g., with subcutaneous tumors expressing azide-tagged targeting probes) are injected intravenously with DBCO-Cy5.5 (typically 1-5 nmol per mouse) or with a DBCO-Cy5.5 conjugate pre-reacted with an azide-tagged targeting ligand. At various time points (1-72 hours post-injection), mice are anesthetized and imaged using an in vivo NIR fluorescence imaging system with excitation at 640 nm and emission at 700 nm. Fluorescence signal intensity in the tumor region is quantified.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a fluorescent imaging probe, Dibenzocyclooctyne-Cy5.5 is not intended for systemic pharmacokinetic studies as a drug. However, its distribution in vivo can be tracked by NIR fluorescence imaging. The compound has a molecular weight of approximately 1100-1300 Da depending on the PEG spacer length. The DBCO-Cy5.5 conjugate is relatively stable in plasma but may undergo gradual clearance via renal excretion if the molecular weight is below the glomerular filtration cutoff. Tissue distribution can be assessed by ex vivo fluorescence imaging of harvested organs.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for Dibenzocyclooctyne-Cy5.5 is not publicly available as it is a research reagent. The compound is not intended for human use. Potential toxicity concerns include the generation of reactive oxygen species from the Cy5.5 fluorophore upon prolonged light exposure (phototoxicity), though this is minimal with near-infrared excitation. The DBCO group is considered bioorthogonal and non-toxic at labeling concentrations. Standard chemical safety precautions (gloves, lab coat, eye protection) should be used when handling the powder.

Additional Infomation
Dibenzocyclooctyne-Cy5.5 is a powerful tool for copper-free click chemistry bioorthogonal labeling. The DBCO group is a strained cycloalkyne that reacts with azides rapidly without a copper catalyst, avoiding the cytotoxicity associated with copper-catalyzed reactions. This makes it ideal for live-cell and in vivo labeling applications. The Cy5.5 fluorophore provides deep tissue penetration and low background autofluorescence, enabling non-invasive in vivo imaging. This compound is widely used in chemical biology, glycobiology, and preclinical imaging studies. It is not a pharmaceutical drug.
