Norepinephrine transporter; Vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT)
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
FFN270 allows for the detection of synaptic activity in the cortex of intact neural circuits in vivo as well as the study of noradrenergic microanatomy[1].
FFN270 hydrochloride is a fluorescent substrate of the norepinephrine and vesicular monoamine transporters. Depending on pH value, FFN270 has two resolved absorption wavelengths and one excitation wavelength (ex: 320 nm or 365 nm, em: 475 nm), which can be utilized as a ratiometric fluorescence sensor. |
| ln Vivo |
FFN270 enables both an examination of noradrenergic microanatomy and an observation of synaptic activity in the cortex of intact neuronal circuits in vivo. It allows real-time monitoring of norepinephrine dynamics and vesicular transport processes in living neurons, providing a powerful tool for studying neurotransmitter release and reuptake.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Assays using FFN270 typically involve loading the fluorescent tracer into cultured neurons or brain slices. Cells are incubated with FFN270 at appropriate concentrations (typically 1-10 microM) for 30-60 min. Fluorescence imaging is performed using confocal microscopy at excitation wavelengths of 320 nm or 365 nm and emission at 475 nm. Uptake specificity is confirmed using selective transporter inhibitors.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular assays, primary neuronal cultures or SH-SY5Y cells are seeded on coverslips and treated with FFN270 hydrochloride (1-10 microM) for 30-60 min at 37degC. Cells are then washed and imaged using fluorescence microscopy. Norepinephrine transporter-specific uptake is validated by co-incubation with desipramine or other selective inhibitors. Fluorescence intensity indicates transporter activity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo experiments involve stereotaxic injection of FFN270 hydrochloride into specific brain regions (e.g., locus coeruleus or prefrontal cortex) of anesthetized mice or rats. Alternatively, systemic administration may be used. Two-photon or confocal microscopy is performed through cranial windows to monitor noradrenergic microanatomy and synaptic activity in real time. Fluorescence intensity changes reflect norepinephrine dynamics.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties specific to FFN270 hydrochloride are not fully characterized as it is a research tracer rather than a therapeutic drug. The compound is designed for acute imaging applications and is expected to distribute to noradrenergic neurons via transporter-mediated uptake. It may be metabolized or cleared within hours of administration.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity data for FFN270 hydrochloride are limited as it is a research tracer for in vitro and in vivo imaging. Standard safety assessment would include acute toxicity studies in rodents at imaging doses. No significant off-target toxicity has been reported in published literature at the concentrations used for fluorescence imaging (typically 1-10 microM in vitro, microg- to mg-range in vivo).

| Additional Infomation |
FFN270 hydrochloride is a novel fluorescent tracer specifically designed for imaging the noradrenergic system. Its ability to serve as a ratiometric pH sensor expands its utility beyond transporter imaging to monitoring vesicular pH changes. As of current information, FFN270 is a research tool only and has not been developed for therapeutic applications or received regulatory approval.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
