| Targets |
Intracellular glutathione (GSH) is the primary molecular target. The Real Thiol probe, generated intracellularly after esterase cleavage of the AM group, reversibly reacts with GSH to allow quantitative, real-time monitoring of GSH dynamics.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Acetoxymethyl (AM) esters, which are easily hydrolyzed by esterases to regenerate Real Thiol inside cells, are created from the carboxylic acid groups to increase the permeability of Real Thiol inside cells. When cells are treated with RT-AM, the fluorescence intensity values for the 405 nm channel are divided by the 488 nm channel at each corresponding pixel to create real-time ratiometric pictures of the rapid changes of intracellular GSH concentrations in single cells[1].
Real Thiol (the active form) is a reversible reaction-based fluorescent probe that quantitatively monitors the real-time glutathione dynamics in living cells. The fluorescence signal correlates with GSH concentration, and the reversibility allows tracking of both increases and decreases in GSH levels in response to stimuli. |
| ln Vivo |
There is no specific in vivo activity data available for this compound. RT-AM is designed for use in live cell imaging to monitor endogenous GSH fluctuations in real time. It is not intended for direct in vivo use in animals.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A standard protocol involves incubating RT-AM (e.g., 5-10 uM) with varying concentrations of glutathione (GSH, 0-10 mM) in a buffer solution (e.g., PBS, pH 7.4) at 37degC. The fluorescence signal is measured over time to characterize the reversibility and sensitivity of the probe. For control reactions, oxidizing agents (e.g., H2O2) can be added to observe signal changes.
|
| Cell Assay |
A general protocol for cellular imaging involves seeding cells in a confocal dish and incubating with RT-AM (e.g., 5-10 uM) for 30 minutes at 37degC. The AM ester group facilitates cellular uptake, and once inside cells, esterases cleave the AM group to trap the active Real Thiol probe. After washing, live-cell imaging is performed. To induce dynamic changes in GSH, cells are treated with an oxidant (e.g., H2O2 or diamide) to decrease GSH or with a reducing agent (e.g., DTT) to increase GSH. Fluorescence changes are recorded in real time.
|
| Animal Protocol |
A typical protocol for in vivo imaging would involve intravenous or intraperitoneal injection of RT-AM (e.g., 1-10 mg/kg) into a live animal model. After a suitable circulation time to allow for probe distribution and activation by esterases, the animal is placed under an in vivo imaging system to monitor GSH dynamics. However, this is a less common application for this probe.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
General PK properties for AM ester probes: The AM ester group enhances cell permeability, allowing entry into cells. Once inside, intracellular esterases cleave the AM group, trapping the active probe. Formulation can be in DMSO as a stock solution, with dilutions in PBS or culture medium.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
General toxicity for imaging probes is considered low. No specific toxicity data is available for RT-AM. For similar AM ester probes, working concentrations up to 10 uM for 24 hours in cell models show good biocompatibility.

| Additional Infomation |
RT-AM is a research tool for studying redox biology, specifically the dynamic regulation of glutathione, the most abundant intracellular thiol and key antioxidant. Its reversible reaction mechanism is a significant advantage over irreversible GSH probes, allowing real-time monitoring of both GSH depletion and recovery. This product is for research use only.
