Click chemistry reagent
As a click chemistry reagent containing an azide group, Sulfo-Cy5-N3 does not target specific proteins or enzymes. Instead, the azide functional group enables copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions with alkyne-bearing biomolecules. This allows the covalent attachment of the Cy5 fluorophore to target biomolecules for subsequent fluorescence detection and imaging applications. |

| ln Vitro |
Nanoparticles are excellent imaging agents for cancer, but variability in chemical structure, racemic mixtures, and addition of heavy metals hinders FDA approval in the United States. We developed a small ultra-red fluorescent protein, named smURFP, to have optical properties similar to the small-molecule Cy5, a heptamethine subclass of cyanine dyes (Ex/Em = 642/670 nm). smURFP has a fluorescence quantum yield of 18% and expresses so well in E. coli, that gram quantities of fluorescent protein are purified from cultures in the laboratory. In this research, the fluorescent protein smURFP was combined with bovine serum albumin into fluorescent protein nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are fluorescent with a quantum yield of 17% and 12-14 nm in diameter. The far-red fluorescent protein nanoparticles noninvasively image tumors in living mice via the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) mechanism. This manuscript describes the use of a new fluorescent protein nanoparticle for in vivo fluorescent imaging. This protein nanoparticle core should prove useful as a biomacromolecular scaffold, which could bear extended chemical modifications for studies, such as the in vivo imaging of fluorescent protein nanoparticles targeted to primary and metastatic cancer, theranostic treatment, and/or dual-modality imaging with positron emission tomography for entire human imaging [1].
The in vitro activity of Sulfo-Cy5-N3 is characterized by its strong fluorescence properties in the far-red to near-infrared spectrum, which provides deep tissue penetration and low background fluorescence. The dye exhibits high photostability and bright fluorescence suitable for multiplexing in imaging and flow cytometry experiments. The compound's water solubility makes it compatible with aqueous biological systems, enabling efficient labeling of biomolecules in physiological conditions. |
| ln Vivo |
No significant in vivo activity data has been reported for Sulfo-Cy5-N3 as a therapeutic agent, as the compound is primarily utilized as a fluorescent labeling reagent for research applications. The compound is intended for research use only and not for diagnostic or medical purposes.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not applicable for Sulfo-Cy5-N3 as it is a fluorescent labeling reagent rather than a drug targeting specific enzymes or receptors. The compound is used in click chemistry reactions where it is incubated with alkyne-modified biomolecules under appropriate reaction conditions (CuAAC or SPAAC). The efficiency of labeling can be assessed by measuring the fluorescence intensity of the conjugated product using fluorescence spectroscopy, flow cytometry, or fluorescence microscopy.

| Cell Assay |
Cell imaging with the fluorescent protein nanoparticles A549 cancer cells were seeded in 24-well plate and cultured for 24 h at 37 °C. The cells were incubated with 1 μM fluorescent protein nanoparticles and after 24 h, the cells were washed three times with 1x PBS, pH 7.4 and stained with DAPI. The cells were imaged with EVOS fluorescence microscope with a Cy5 LED cube (Ex/Em: 628(40)/692(40) nm) [1].
For in vitro cellular experiments, Sulfo-Cy5-N3 is dissolved in DMSO or water and diluted in cell culture medium. Cells or biomolecules of interest are first modified with alkyne functional groups, then incubated with Sulfo-Cy5-N3 under click chemistry reaction conditions. After washing to remove unreacted dye, the labeled cells or biomolecules are analyzed by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or fluorescence spectroscopy. The strong far-red fluorescence enables multiplexing with other fluorophores and provides low background autofluorescence. |
| Animal Protocol |
Noninvasive fluorescence imaging of A549 tumor xenograft in vivo
In vivo animal experiments with Sulfo-Cy5-N3 are not typically performed as a therapeutic intervention. However, the compound can be used for in vivo imaging applications when conjugated to targeting ligands or biomolecules via click chemistry. The near-infrared emission of Cy5 provides deep tissue penetration and low background fluorescence, making it suitable for in vivo imaging studies. Conjugates bearing Sulfo-Cy5-N3 can be administered to animal models for tracking biodistribution and target engagement. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of Sulfo-Cy5-N3 have not been characterized, as the compound is a research-use fluorescent labeling reagent rather than a drug candidate. The compound has a molecular weight of 724.89 g/mol and is water-soluble due to the sulfonate groups. The compound should be stored at -20°C and protected from light to maintain stability.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for Sulfo-Cy5-N3 has not been systematically evaluated, as the compound is intended for research applications only and not for therapeutic use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed when handling this chemical reagent. The compound is light-sensitive and should be protected from light during storage and handling.
