Product Description
ZnAF-1F is a potent fluorophore with Kd of 2.2 nM. ZnAF-1F can be used as a fluorescent probe for intracellular Zn2+. The λ excitation wavelength of ZnAF-1F is 489 nm and the emission wavelength is 514 nm.
ZnAF-1F is a highly efficient fluorophore used as a fluorescent probe for zinc ions (Zn²⁺) in cellular applications. It has a dissociation constant (Kd) value of 2.2 nM, making it a powerful tool for detecting zinc ions in biological systems. The compound has the molecular formula C34H26F2N4O5 and a molecular weight of 608.59 g/mol. ZnAF-1F exhibits an excitation wavelength of 489 nm and an emission wavelength of 514 nm. The compound operates through a mechanism known as photoinduced electron transfer (PET), where interaction with Zn²⁺ ions leads to a significant increase in fluorescence intensity. The fluorescence is stable under physiological conditions, with a pKa value shifted to 4.9 due to the presence of electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms. ZnAF-1F is used for intracellular zinc measurement and zinc homeostasis studies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
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.
ln Vitro
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
ZnAF-1F is not used as a therapeutic agent but rather as a research tool for detecting and studying zinc ions in biological systems. The compound is used in cellular imaging to monitor zinc ion concentrations and distribution within living cells. It assists in understanding the role of zinc in cellular processes such as signaling and enzyme activity. The compound is used in pathophysiological investigations to study the involvement of zinc ions in diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer. It aids in the design of zinc-based therapeutic agents and diagnostic tools. The compound is also applied in creating zinc-specific sensors for environmental monitoring and clinical diagnostics. ZnAF-1F is used in research to investigate zinc's role in neuronal signaling pathways. The compound is not approved for clinical use.
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.

The diacetyl derivative (ZnAF-1F DA) is used for cellular uptake studies. The compound is used in various fields including chemistry, biology, medicine, and industry.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity of ZnAF-1F has not been extensively characterized as the compound is primarily used as a fluorescent probe for research applications. The compound is intended for research use only and is not for human use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound, including the use of gloves and eye protection. In cell culture applications, the compound is used at concentrations that are generally compatible with cell viability (1-10 μM). Higher concentrations may affect cell viability or cause non-specific fluorescence. The compound is not classified as a highly toxic substance but should be handled with appropriate care. Safety data sheets recommend standard handling procedures for research chemicals. The compound's toxicity in vivo has not been extensively studied.
