| Targets |
This compound targets lipid-binding proteins and enzymes that interact with diacylglycerol (DAG), including: (1) PKC isoforms (conventional and novel) which bind DAG at C1 domains; (2) diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) which phosphorylate DAG to phosphatidic acid; (3) diacylglycerol lipases (DAGLalpha/beta) which hydrolyze DAG to 2-arachidonoylglycerol; and (4) other DAG-binding proteins (Munc13, chimaerins, RasGRPs). The NBD fluorophore allows visualization of DAG localization, transport, and metabolism in live cells.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In cell-free assays, this compound is used as a substrate for DAG-metabolizing enzymes. For DGK assays, incubate with recombinant DGKalpha or DGKε, ATP, and assay buffer at 37degC for 30-60 min. Stop with chloroform/methanol, separate NBD-labeled phosphatidic acid product by TLC, and quantify by fluorescence scanning. For PKC binding assays, incubate NBD-DAG with PKCdelta C1B domain and measure fluorescence anisotropy or FRET to determine binding affinity.

| Cell Assay |
For live-cell imaging, cells (e.g., HeLa, HEK293, primary neurons) are seeded on coverslips or glass-bottom dishes. Add 1-10 uM NBD-DAG (from DMSO stock, final DMSO ≤0.1%) and incubate for 15-60 min at 37degC. Wash twice with PBS, then image using confocal microscopy (ex 488 nm, em 520-540 nm). Localization to plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, and lipid droplets can be observed. For metabolism studies, treat cells with pharmacological inhibitors (e.g., DGK inhibitor R59949, DAGL inhibitor tetrahydrolipstatin) before probe addition. For flow cytometry, treat cells with 1-10 uM NBD-DAG for 30-60 min, trypsinize, wash, resuspend in FACS buffer, analyze in FITC channel.

| Animal Protocol |
No specific in vivo animal studies reported. Primarily used for ex vivo labeling of tissues or for in vivo imaging at low doses. For ex vivo experiments, incubate tissue sections (e.g., brain, liver) with probe (10-50 uM) in PBS for 1-2 h at room temperature, wash, and image by fluorescence microscopy to visualize DAG distribution. For in vivo imaging, inject intravenously (0.5-2 mg/kg) into mice, harvest tissues after 30-60 min for histological analysis. Not standard due to rapid metabolism.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PK data not available. Cell-permeable and rapidly incorporated into cellular membranes. Expected to be metabolized by lipases and kinases similarly to endogenous DAG, with half-life of minutes to hours depending on cell type. For research, store as powder at -20degC or -80degC, protect from light and moisture. Soluble in DMSO and ethanol. Stock solutions (1-10 mM in DMSO) should be stored in aliquots at -80degC, protected from light to prevent photobleaching. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicity data not available. At imaging concentrations (1-10 uM), not acutely toxic; cell viability (MTT) >90% after 24 h. High concentrations (>50 uM) may cause cytotoxicity due to non-specific membrane disruption. NBD fluorophore has minimal toxicity. Standard safety: use PPE (gloves, lab coat, goggles), avoid inhalation of powder, protect from light. Not intended for human consumption.

| Additional Infomation |
This compound is a research-grade fluorescent probe and not FDA-approved. No approved clinical applications. It is a valuable tool for studying diacylglycerol (DAG) signaling in cell biology, including PKC activation, DGK activity, DAG lipase function, and lipid droplet dynamics. Used to investigate subcellular localization and trafficking of DAG in live cells under various physiological and pathological conditions, including cancer (DAG promotes proliferation), neurodegeneration (DAG regulates synaptic function), and metabolic disease (DAG mediates insulin resistance). NBD fluorophore has good photostability and quantum yield, suitable for time-lapse imaging. Symmetrical decanoyl chains (C10:0) provide uniform acyl chain length and minimize structural heterogeneity. Purity typically >95% by HPLC. For research use only.

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).
