Product Description
RT-NH2 is the prototype RealThiol without carboxylic acid groups. RT-NH2 is quite hydrophobic and cannot be distributed in the core, which is a sign of fluorescent probe protein binding.
RT-NH2 (CAS 2321343-06-8), also known as Real Thiol-NH2, is an amine-functionalized fluorescent probe derived from RealThiol (RT), designed to monitor dynamic changes in intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels. RT-NH2 is the prototype RealThiol without the carboxylic acid groups. It is widely used in redox biology and oxidative stress research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Intracellular glutathione (GSH). RT-NH2 is a fluorescent probe that reacts reversibly with glutathione to monitor real-time GSH dynamics in living cells. The compound is fairly hydrophobic and cannot distribute in the nucleus, which is a hallmark of protein binding for fluorescent probes.
ln Vitro
RT-NH2 shows ratiometric fluorescence responses with a wide dynamic range when reacting with glutathione (GSH). The probe allows quantitative monitoring of real-time glutathione dynamics in living cells. Its amine-functionalized form provides additional conjugation capabilities for biological applications.
ln Vivo
In vivo, RT-NH2 is not typically used for systemic administration but rather as a probe in cell-based assays or ex vivo tissue imaging. The compound is designed for monitoring GSH dynamics in living cells and is widely used in redox biology and oxidative stress research.
Enzyme Assay
RT-NH2 is characterized by its fluorescence properties rather than enzymatic activity. The probe's reaction with glutathione is monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy. Ratiometric fluorescence responses are measured at specific excitation/emission wavelengths. The dynamic range and selectivity for GSH over other thiols are determined in buffer systems.
Cell Assay
Cells are loaded with RT-NH2 and incubated under various conditions to modulate GSH levels. Fluorescence is measured using flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, or microplate readers. Ratiometric imaging allows real-time monitoring of GSH dynamics. Oxidative stress is induced using agents such as H2O2 or diamide to assess probe response.
Animal Protocol
RT-NH2 is typically used in cell culture or ex vivo tissue preparations rather than systemic animal models. Cells or tissue slices are loaded with the probe, and fluorescence imaging is performed to monitor GSH dynamics under various conditions. The probe is used to study redox signaling, oxidative stress, and cellular antioxidant defenses.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
RT-NH2 has a molecular weight of 295.29 g/mol and formula C1₆H13N3O3. The compound is soluble in DMSO and formulated for cell-based assays. Its hydrophobic nature influences cellular distribution and protein binding.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology data for RT-NH2 are not publicly available. As a fluorescent probe used in research applications, it is expected to have low toxicity at working concentrations. Standard cytotoxicity assays would be performed to determine safe concentrations for cell-based studies.
