| Targets |
SiR-DBCO is a fluorescent labeling reagent that does not have a specific pharmacological target. The DBCO group enables bioorthogonal click chemistry with azide-containing molecules. This allows for specific labeling of azide-modified biomolecules in live cells or biological samples without the need for copper catalysts, which can be toxic to living systems.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
As a fluorescent probe, SiR-DBCO itself does not possess pharmacological activity. Its utility lies in its photophysical properties: the silicon-rhodamine fluorophore provides far-red to near-infrared fluorescence with excellent brightness, photostability, and cell permeability. The DBCO functionality enables efficient SPAAC conjugation to azide-modified targets.
|
| ln Vivo |
As a fluorescent probe, SiR-DBCO is used for in vivo imaging applications. When conjugated to azide-modified targeting moieties via SPAAC, the dye enables visualization of specific biomarkers in living organisms. The far-red to near-infrared fluorescence allows for deep tissue penetration and reduced autofluorescence, making it suitable for preclinical imaging studies.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell-based protocols for SiR-DBCO involve click chemistry conjugation and dye characterization. A typical conjugation procedure includes: dissolving SiR-DBCO in anhydrous DMSO, adding to a solution of azide-modified target molecule in appropriate buffer (PBS, pH 7.4), incubating at room temperature for 1–4 hours, and purifying the conjugate by size-exclusion chromatography or HPLC. Conjugation efficiency is confirmed by mass spectrometry or SDS-PAGE with fluorescence detection.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays with SiR-DBCO typically involve labeling azide-modified biomolecules in live cells. A representative protocol includes: culturing cells with azide-modified metabolic precursors (e.g., Ac₄ManNAz for glycan labeling, or AHA for protein labeling), washing, incubating with SiR-DBCO (0.1–5 μM) for 30–60 minutes at 37°C, washing to remove unbound dye, and imaging using confocal microscopy with far-red excitation/emission settings. The dye's cell permeability allows for live-cell imaging without fixation.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal imaging studies with SiR-DBCO typically involve administration of the dye-conjugate via intravenous injection. A representative protocol includes: injecting SiR-DBCO-labeled probe into mouse models, allowing circulation and distribution for 1–24 hours, performing whole-body fluorescence imaging using an in vivo imaging system with appropriate far-red excitation/emission filters, and harvesting tissues for ex vivo biodistribution analysis.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties are determined for the SiR-DBCO conjugate rather than the dye itself. Typical PK parameters for SiR-based probes include rapid clearance from circulation, distribution depending on the targeting moiety, and excretion primarily via renal or hepatobiliary routes. The far-red fluorescence allows for real-time monitoring of biodistribution.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
As a fluorescent dye for research use, SiR-DBCO is not intended for human therapeutic use. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling the dye. The compound should be stored at -20°C, protected from light. The DBCO group is reactive with azides and should be handled with appropriate care to avoid unintended reactions.

| Additional Infomation |
SiR-DBCO (CAS 2259859-41-9) is a versatile tool for bioorthogonal labeling and live-cell imaging. The combination of the silicon-rhodamine fluorophore (excellent brightness, photostability, and cell permeability) and DBCO click chemistry (copper-free, bioorthogonal) enables specific labeling of azide-modified biomolecules in complex biological environments. This reagent is widely used in chemical biology and molecular imaging for studying dynamic biological processes in living cells and organisms.
