| Targets |
ZnAF-1F targets zinc ions (Zn²⁺) in biological systems by acting as a fluorescent probe. The compound has a high affinity for Zn²⁺ with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 2.2 nM. The mechanism of detection involves photoinduced electron transfer (PET), where the fluorescence of the fluorophore is quenched in the absence of Zn²⁺ and restored upon binding. The interaction with Zn²⁺ ions leads to a significant increase in fluorescence intensity, allowing for precise detection of zinc concentrations in biological samples. The compound's fluorescence is stable under physiological conditions. The presence of electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms shifts the pKa to 4.9, ensuring the probe remains responsive in neutral and slightly acidic conditions. The compound is used to study zinc ion dynamics in chemical reactions and coordination chemistry.

ZnAF-1F (1 μM) in 100 mM HEPES buffer has a Kon value of 3.5*106 M-1s-1 and a Koff value of 7.7*10-3 s-1 [1]. Zinc sensor ZnAF-1F functions in neutral and mildly acidic environments [2].
In vitro, ZnAF-1F is used as a fluorescent probe for the detection and quantification of zinc ions in biological samples. The compound exhibits high affinity for Zn²⁺ with a Kd of 2.2 nM. Upon binding to Zn²⁺, the fluorescence intensity increases significantly, allowing for sensitive detection of zinc concentrations. The probe's excitation wavelength is 489 nm and emission wavelength is 514 nm. The fluorescence is stable under physiological conditions, with a pKa of 4.9. ZnAF-1F can be used to monitor zinc ion concentrations and distribution within living cells. The compound is used in studies of zinc homeostasis, signaling, and enzyme activity. Its high affinity and sensitivity make it suitable for quantifying zinc ions in complex mixtures. |
| ln Vivo |

| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro experiments with ZnAF-1F typically involve preparing a stock solution in DMSO and diluting it in appropriate buffers for fluorescence measurements. The compound is used at concentrations ranging from 0.1-10 μM depending on the application. For zinc detection, the probe is added to samples containing Zn²⁺, and fluorescence is measured at excitation 489 nm and emission 514 nm. A standard curve is prepared using known concentrations of Zn²⁺ to quantify the amount of zinc in unknown samples. The fluorescence increase upon Zn²⁺ binding is proportional to the zinc concentration. The compound's high affinity (Kd 2.2 nM) allows for detection of low concentrations of zinc. The probe's fluorescence is stable under physiological conditions, with a pKa of 4.9. For cellular uptake studies, the diacetyl derivative (ZnAF-1F DA) may be used to permeate cell membranes.

| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays using ZnAF-1F involve loading cells with the probe to monitor intracellular zinc concentrations. The diacetyl derivative (ZnAF-1F DA) is often used because it can permeate cell membranes. Cells are incubated with ZnAF-1F DA at concentrations of 1-10 μM for 30-60 minutes at 37°C. The probe is deacetylated inside cells to the active form, which then binds to intracellular Zn²⁺. Fluorescence is measured using a fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer with excitation at 489 nm and emission at 514 nm. Changes in fluorescence intensity reflect changes in intracellular zinc levels. The probe can be used to monitor zinc fluctuations during cellular processes such as signaling and apoptosis. Cell viability should be assessed to ensure the probe is not toxic at the concentrations used. The compound's fluorescence is stable under physiological conditions.

| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with ZnAF-1F are limited as the compound is primarily used as a fluorescent probe for in vitro and cellular studies. The compound may be used in ex vivo tissue imaging or in vivo imaging applications where zinc detection is required. For in vivo applications, the probe would need to be formulated for appropriate administration routes. The diacetyl derivative (ZnAF-1F DA) may be used for improved cell permeability. The compound's fluorescence properties allow for imaging of zinc distribution in tissues. However, specific in vivo protocols for this compound are not widely reported in the available literature. The compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for clinical applications.
