Product Description
Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate is a prothrombin-specific fluorescent substrate that may be utilized to detect PRP and thrombin generation in platelet-deficient plasma.
Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate (CAS 2070009-61-7) is a synthetic tripeptide fluorogenic substrate that consists of a C-terminal 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) fluorophore linked to a Z-Gly-Gly-Arg peptide sequence. It is a thrombin-specific fluorogenic substrate used for testing thrombin generation in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP). The compound has a molecular formula of C₃₀H₃₇N₇O₉ and a molecular weight of 639.66. It is also used for a direct fluorometric assay of urokinase, tissue-type plasminogen activator, trypsin, and thrombin. The substrate exhibits excitation/emission at 390/480 nm.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary molecular target of Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate is thrombin, a key serine protease that regulates the blood coagulation cascade. The compound is a thrombin-specific fluorogenic substrate that is cleaved by thrombin at the Arg-AMC bond. Upon cleavage, the AMC fluorophore is released, generating a fluorescent signal that can be measured. The substrate is used to detect thrombin production in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP). It is also a substrate for other serine proteases, including urokinase, tissue-type plasminogen activator, and trypsin.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate is used as a fluorogenic substrate to measure the activity of thrombin and other serine proteases. The substrate is cleaved by the target protease, releasing the AMC fluorophore, which can be detected by fluorescence spectroscopy with excitation at 390 nm and emission at 480 nm. The increase in fluorescence over time is proportional to the enzyme activity. The compound is used in assays to test thrombin generation in PRP and PPP. It is also used for a direct fluorometric assay of urokinase, tissue-type plasminogen activator, trypsin, and thrombin. The substrate's specificity for thrombin makes it a valuable tool for studying coagulation and thrombosis.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a research reagent for in vitro assays rather than as a therapeutic agent. The substrate is used to measure thrombin generation in plasma samples, which can provide information about the coagulation status of patients. However, the compound itself is not administered in vivo. No extensive in vivo pharmacological or toxicological studies have been reported for this substrate. The compound is used for research purposes only and is not intended for therapeutic use.
Enzyme Assay
For thrombin activity assays, Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate is dissolved in an appropriate buffer (e.g., 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl and 0.1% BSA). The substrate is typically used at concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 µM. Thrombin or plasma samples are added to the substrate solution in a 96-well plate. The reaction is incubated at 37°C for a specified time, and fluorescence is measured continuously or at endpoint using a fluorescence plate reader with excitation at 390 nm and emission at 480 nm. The increase in fluorescence is proportional to thrombin activity. For kinetic studies, initial reaction rates are calculated, and Km and Vmax values are determined from Michaelis-Menten plots.
Cell Assay
For cellular studies, Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate is typically not used in cell-based assays, as it is a substrate for enzymatic assays in plasma or purified enzyme systems. However, the compound may be used to measure thrombin activity in cell culture supernatants or cell lysates. Cells are cultured and stimulated to produce thrombin or other proteases. The supernatant or lysate is collected and incubated with the substrate. Fluorescence is measured as described above. The substrate can also be used to assess the activity of thrombin in the presence of test compounds to evaluate their inhibitory effects.
Animal Protocol
Standard in vivo protocols for Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate are not applicable, as the compound is used as an in vitro research reagent. It is not administered to animals. The compound is used to measure thrombin generation in plasma samples collected from animals or humans in ex vivo assays. No specific in vivo protocols are reported in the literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate are not applicable, as the compound is used as an in vitro research reagent and is not intended for in vivo use. The compound is not administered systemically, and no ADME studies have been reported. It is used as a substrate in enzymatic assays and is not designed for therapeutic applications.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate are limited, as the compound is used as a research reagent. The compound is generally considered to have low toxicity at the concentrations used for enzymatic assays (typically 10-100 µM). No acute toxicity, mutagenicity, or carcinogenicity data have been reported. As with all chemical reagents, appropriate safety precautions should be taken when handling Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate, including the use of personal protective equipment and work in a well-ventilated area.
