| Targets |
Neocuproine targets metal ions, particularly copper(I) ions (Cu⁺). It acts as a chelating ligand that forms stable complexes with metal ions. The methyl groups at the 2 and 9 positions provide steric hindrance that enhances selectivity for Cu⁺ over other metal ions. By chelating metal ions, Neocuproine is used in analytical chemistry for metal ion detection and quantification, and in redox studies for modulating metal-dependent reactions.

| Cell Assay |
For cell-based studies, Neocuproine is used to modulate copper availability in cell culture. Cells are cultured in appropriate medium and treated with Neocuproine at various concentrations (1-100 μM) for 24-72 hours. Copper-dependent cellular processes (e.g., oxidative stress, angiogenesis, mitochondrial function) are assessed. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CellTiter-Glo. Copper levels in cells are measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy or ICP-MS. All treatments include vehicle controls and are performed in triplicate.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

*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.
