| Targets |
The primary target of GSHtracer is glutathione (GSH), the most abundant intracellular thiol and a critical antioxidant molecule. GSHtracer specifically binds to GSH, resulting in a change in its fluorescence properties. The probe's high sensitivity and selectivity for GSH over other thiols make it valuable for monitoring cellular redox status.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro studies demonstrate that GSHtracer is a highly sensitive and selective ratiometric probe for GSH detection. Upon binding to GSH, the probe exhibits a shift in excitation/emission from 520/580 nm to 430/510 nm. The F510/F580 ratio increases with GSH concentration, allowing for quantitative measurement. The probe's high sensitivity, selectivity, and compatibility with live-cell imaging make it valuable for redox biology investigations.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for GSHtracer are related to its use in live-cell and tissue imaging. The probe is compatible with live-cell imaging, enabling real-time monitoring of GSH levels in living cells and tissues. It is used to monitor cellular oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, and glutathione-dependent signaling pathways. The probe can be applied in various disease models to study the role of GSH in pathophysiology.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular assays for GSHtracer typically involve characterizing its fluorescence properties and selectivity for GSH. The probe is incubated with GSH or other thiols, and the fluorescence spectra are recorded. The shift in excitation/emission wavelengths and the ratio of fluorescence intensities at different wavelengths are measured. These cell-free systems allow for precise characterization of the probe's response to GSH.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for GSHtracer are conducted using various cell types to measure intracellular GSH levels. Cells are incubated with the probe, and fluorescence is measured using fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or plate readers. The F510/F580 ratio is calculated to determine GSH concentration. Cells may be treated with oxidative stress inducers or antioxidants to study changes in GSH levels.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for GSHtracer are limited, as the probe is primarily used in cell-based and tissue imaging studies. The probe may be used in tissue sections or whole organisms for imaging GSH levels. However, specific in vivo studies have not been extensively reported. The probe's compatibility with live-cell imaging suggests potential for use in animal models.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of GSHtracer are not well-characterized, as it is a fluorescent probe used in research applications. The compound has a molecular weight of approximately 359.42 g/mol and a purity of ≥98%. It is typically stored at -20°C and protected from light. The probe is soluble in DMSO and should be handled with appropriate laboratory precautions.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for GSHtracer are limited, as it is a fluorescent probe for research use only. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound. No significant toxicity has been reported at the concentrations used for cellular imaging. The compound is not intended for human use.
