| Targets |
IR-820 does not have a classical drug target. Its function is based on its physical properties as a fluorescent dye. It acts as a contrast agent for near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIRF). The compound accumulates in tissues and provides contrast for imaging due to its strong NIR absorption and emission. It can also be used for photothermal therapy due to its light-absorbing properties.

Guidance (The following is our proposed protocol. This protocol provides guidance only and should be changed to match your individual needs). Internal [1]: 1. Freshly combine powdered IR-820 with phosphate buffer saline (PBS) to a final concentration of 0.2 mM, and inject 100 μL of this solution into the experimental animals. 2. Use 2 groups of four mice. The first group is injected with IR-820 through the tail vein, whereas the second group is injected intraperitoneally. 3. The maximal excitation and emission wavelengths of IR-820 are 710 nm and 820 nm respectively. Theory 8 days.
IR-820 is not typically used in traditional pharmacological activity assays. Its in vitro activity is related to its fluorescent properties and its ability to label cells or tissues. It is used in in vitro imaging studies where cells are incubated with the dye and visualized using NIR fluorescence microscopy. The compound shows good stability and color rendering in solution. It is also used in photothermal therapy experiments in vitro. |
| ln Vivo |
IR-820 is used for in vivo near-infrared fluorescence imaging as a blood pool contrast agent. It allows for the detection and quantification of diseased tissue in live animals. The dye is typically administered intravenously, and its distribution can be monitored using NIR imaging systems. Its fluorescence penetration properties enable deep-tissue imaging. IR-820 can also be used for photothermal therapy in vivo by irradiating the target area with an 808 nm laser.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
As a fluorescent dye, IR-820 does not have a standard enzyme/receptor binding assay. Its properties are evaluated based on its spectroscopic characteristics, such as absorption and emission spectra, fluorescence quantum yield, and photostability. The dye's stability in biological fluids and its binding to serum proteins may be assessed, but these are not classical binding assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular experiments with IR-820 involve adding the dye to cell cultures and incubating for 30-60 minutes. The cells are then imaged using NIR fluorescence microscopy to assess dye uptake and distribution. For photothermal therapy studies, cells are incubated with IR-820 and then irradiated with an 808 nm laser to evaluate cell killing efficacy. The dye is typically used at concentrations of 10-50 µM for in vitro experiments.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with IR-820 involve intravenous administration of the dye, typically at doses of 0.5-1 mg/kg. Imaging is performed using near-infrared imaging equipment to detect the dye's fluorescence signal. For photothermal therapy, tumors are irradiated with an 808 nm laser at intensities of 1-2 W/cm² for 5-10 minutes after dye administration. The dye's distribution and therapeutic efficacy are then assessed.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
IR-820 has a molecular weight of 849.47 and a molecular formula of C46H50ClN2NaO6S2. It is soluble in water and DMSO. The compound is sensitive to light and should be stored in the dark at -20°C for long-term storage. For in vivo imaging, it is typically administered intravenously at doses of 0.5-1 mg/kg. Its pharmacokinetics are characteristic of NIR dyes, with rapid distribution to tissues.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for IR-820 is not detailed in the provided sources. As a fluorescent dye used for imaging and photothermal therapy, it is generally considered to have low toxicity at the concentrations used for these applications. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling.
