| 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.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
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).
