Product Description
Firefly luciferase-IN-1 (compound 48) is a potent and reversible inhibitor of firefly luciferase with IC50 of 0.25 nM.
Firefly luciferase-IN-1 (CAS 2765796-41-4), also known as compound 48, is a highly potent, reversible, and specific inhibitor of firefly luciferase. It is a 2-benzylidene tetrahydronaphthone derivative with an IC50 of 0.25 nM. This compound is primarily used as a research tool to control and modulate bioluminescent signals in various assays that utilize the firefly luciferase reporter system.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Firefly luciferase-IN-1 specifically targets the enzyme firefly luciferase. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of its substrate, D-luciferin, in the presence of ATP, Mg2+, and oxygen, producing light. By potently and reversibly inhibiting this enzyme, the compound effectively quenches the bioluminescent signal, making it an excellent tool for controlling reporter gene expression in biological experiments.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Firefly luciferase-IN-1 demonstrates exceptional potency, with an IC50 of 0.25 nM. This indicates that it inhibits firefly luciferase activity at sub-nanomolar concentrations. Its high potency and reversible nature make it a valuable tool for precise modulation of luciferase-based assays, allowing for temporal control of the bioluminescent signal.
ln Vivo
Specific in vivo data for Firefly luciferase-IN-1 are not reported in the available literature. As a luciferase inhibitor, its primary application is in in vitro biochemical and cell-based assays to control reporter signals. In vivo use would be limited, but it could potentially be applied in animal models where luciferase is used as a reporter, though such studies are not detailed.
Enzyme Assay
The primary assay for Firefly luciferase-IN-1 is a standard luciferase activity assay. In this assay, purified firefly luciferase enzyme is incubated with its substrates (D-luciferin, ATP, Mg2+) and varying concentrations of the inhibitor. The resulting light output is measured using a luminometer. The IC50 value of 0.25 nM is determined from the dose-response curve.
Cell Assay
In cellular studies, Firefly luciferase-IN-1 is used in cells that have been engineered to express firefly luciferase as a reporter gene. Cells are treated with the inhibitor, and the reduction in bioluminescence is measured. This allows researchers to finely control the reporter signal, which is useful for assays like drug screening or studying gene expression dynamics.
Animal Protocol
Specific in vivo protocols for Firefly luciferase-IN-1 are not available. If used in vivo, it would be administered to animals expressing a luciferase reporter to study the compound's pharmacokinetics or to modulate the signal for imaging purposes.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific pharmacokinetic (PK) data for Firefly luciferase-IN-1 are not reported. The compound has a molecular formula of C19H16O3 and a molecular weight of 292.33 g/mol. It is a small molecule, suggesting potential for good bioavailability. The powder is stable for up to 3 years when stored at -20°C.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicological data for Firefly luciferase-IN-1 are not reported. As a research compound, it is for laboratory use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use.
