Product Description
KMG-104 is a selective fluorescent Mg2+ probe. KMG-104 is extensively used and shows Mg2+ flux in the cytoplasm of various cell types.
KMG-104 is a highly selective fluorescent probe for detecting magnesium ions (Mg2+), specifically designed for monitoring Mg2+ dynamics in the cytoplasm of various cell types. It is a cell-impermeable probe, thus it is typically loaded into cells via esterification or microinjection, and is excited at 490 nm with emission around 510 nm, making it compatible with confocal laser scanning microscopy.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Magnesium ions (Mg2+).
ln Vitro
KMG-104 is excited at 490 nm and emits fluorescence around 510 nm, making it useful for confocal laser scanning microscopy. The dissociation constant (Kd) for Mg is 3 mM. The fluorescent intensity of KMG-104 increases with an increase in [Mg], and it is unaffected by Na, K, and Ca. The only changes in physiological conditions that KMG-104 can detect are [Mg] changes[2]. Novel Mg indicator KMG-104 and Ca indicator fura-2 are loaded into PC12 cells, and intracellular Mg is investigated in the mitochondria, Mg-ATP, and endoplasmic reticulums (ERs)[2].
In cell-free assays, KMG-104 exhibits a dissociation constant (Kd) of approximately 3 mM for Mg2+, well within the physiological range of intracellular free Mg2+ concentrations. The fluorescence intensity increases proportionally with [Mg2+] and shows no significant response to physiologically relevant concentrations of Na+, K+, or Ca2+. This high selectivity for Mg2+ over other divalent cations is a key feature of the probe.
ln Vivo
PC12 cells have been loaded with KMG-104 to monitor cytoplasmic Mg2+ changes in real-time. It is a cell-impermeable indicator; therefore, cells must be loaded with the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester form of KMG-104 (KMG-104 AM) for live-cell studies. Once inside the cell, the AM group is cleaved by endogenous esterases, trapping the active indicator. After loading, Mg2+ fluxes induced by agonists or changes in extracellular conditions can be observed by measuring changes in fluorescence (Ex/Em = 490/510 nm).
Enzyme Assay
A standard protocol: Prepare a 1 mM stock of KMG-104 in dry DMSO. Dilute stock to working concentration (e.g., 5-20 uM) in a buffer containing various concentrations of MgCl2 (0-10 mM) and fixed background levels of other ions (e.g., 140 mM KCl, 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.2). Incubate for 10 min. Measure fluorescence using a fluorometer or plate reader with Ex=490 nm, Em=510 nm. Plot fluorescence intensity vs. [Mg2+] to determine Kd.
Cell Assay
For AM ester loading: Prepare a 1 mM stock of KMG-104 AM in dry DMSO. Dilute to 2-10 uM in cell culture medium. Remove medium from adherent cells and replace with AM ester-containing medium. Incubate cells at 37degC for 30-60 min. Wash cells three times with HBSS or PBS to remove extracellular dye. Incubate cells for an additional 15-30 min to allow complete de-esterification. For confocal imaging, maintain cells at 37degC and use Ex=488 nm (Argon laser), Em=500-530 nm. Add ionomycin (10 uM) and varying [Mg2+] to calibrate.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo studies, KMG-104 is typically not used due to its hydrophilicity and membrane impermeability. If required, a solution formulation can be prepared: Dissolve KMG-104 in DMSO, then dilute with 40% PEG300 and 5% Tween-80, and finally add saline to reach a final DMSO concentration of 10%. Administer via intravenous or intraperitoneal injection for tissue distribution studies, though it is not typically used for in vivo imaging.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
KMG-104 has a molecular weight of 435.33 g/mol and is soluble in DMSO at 50 mg/mL. As a hydrophilic anionic probe (cell-impermeable), it is rapidly excreted via renal filtration. The AM ester derivative enhances cell permeability; once inside cells, it becomes trapped due to de-esterification. In vivo, the non-esterified form is expected to have a short plasma half-life (~0.5-1 hour) and low tissue accumulation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
MTT assays have indicated that KMG-104 exhibits low cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 50 uM in various cell lines, making it suitable for long-term Mg2+ monitoring studies. No specific systemic toxicity data in animals is available for this probe, but as an ion indicator, it is expected to have a favorable safety profile for in vitro use.
