Product Description
MHI-148 is a near-infrared heptamethacyanine dye with tumor-targeting properties for cancer detection, diagnosis, and research. MHI-148 is immediately taken up and accumulated in lysosomes and mitochondria of tumor cells but not in normal cells.
MHI-148 (CAS#: 172971-76-5), also known as IR808, is a tumor-targeting near-infrared heptamethine cyanine dye for cancer detection, diagnosis, and research. It has a molecular weight of 764.23 g/mol. MHI-148 is a near-infrared heptamethine cyanine dye that selectively targets tumors, making it ideal for cancer detection and diagnosis. The compound demonstrates preferential accumulation in the lysosomes and mitochondria of tumor cells, allowing for enhanced visualization. MHI-148 acts as an optical imaging agent and can also trigger on-demand drug release upon application of NIR 808 nm laser.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MHI-148 targets tumor cells, demonstrating preferential accumulation in the lysosomes and mitochondria of tumor cells but not in normal cells. The compound does not target a specific protein or enzyme but rather exhibits tumor-selective uptake through mechanisms that are not fully elucidated, potentially involving organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) overexpressed in cancer cells.
ln Vitro
MHI-148 (10 µM, 1 h) has tumor imaging and targeting properties and is absorbed much higher in HT-29 colon cancer cells than in normal NIH3T3 fibroblasts[1]. In HT-29 and NIH3T3 cells, MHI-148 (0-1.5 µM, 3 days) only slightly damages the cells[1].
The in vitro activity of MHI-148 is its function as a tumor-targeting near-infrared fluorescent probe. The compound exhibits strong NIR fluorescence and is taken up by tumor cells, accumulating in lysosomes and mitochondria. At 10 µM, MHI-148 demonstrates cellular uptake and fluorescence in cancer cells. The compound enables the visualization of tumors and can be used for diagnostic imaging and research applications.
ln Vivo
MHI-148 has demonstrated in vivo tumor-targeting properties. The compound is taken up by and accumulates in tumors in animal models, allowing for NIR fluorescence imaging of cancer. MHI-148 can be used for cancer detection, diagnosis, and research. Upon application of NIR 808 nm laser, the compound can trigger on-demand drug release.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro binding assays are not applicable for MHI-148 as it functions as a tumor-targeting fluorescent dye rather than a drug targeting specific enzymes or receptors. The compound's interaction with tumor cells is based on its preferential uptake and accumulation in cancer cells.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular experiments, MHI-148 is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in cell culture medium. Tumor cells and normal cells are incubated with the compound at appropriate concentrations. The uptake and accumulation of the dye in cells are analyzed by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. Preferential accumulation in tumor cell lysosomes and mitochondria can be assessed using organelle-specific counterstains.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal experiments, MHI-148 is administered to tumor-bearing mouse models. The compound is taken up by and accumulates in tumors, allowing for NIR fluorescence imaging. The dye enables the detection, diagnosis, and study of cancer in vivo. Upon application of NIR 808 nm laser, the compound can trigger on-demand drug release, making it useful for photothermal therapy and drug delivery applications.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of MHI-148 have not been extensively characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of 764.23 g/mol and should be stored under appropriate conditions, protected from light.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The compound is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic or diagnostic applications. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed when handling this chemical reagent.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1 mg/mL (1.31 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL of normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 1 mg/mL (1.31 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
