Product Description

Diphenylterazine (DTZ) is a novel bioluminescence agent that showed superior in vitro and in vivo sensitivity over commonly used bioluminescence reporters. As a Red-shifted bioluminescence reporter, it has the potential to be used for biological imaging.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Millimolar concentrations of diphenylterazine have negligible cytotoxic effects [1]. Diphenyltrazine has strong in vivo pharmacokinetics, red-shifted emission, a high quantum yield, and the absence of cofactors needed for light emission. Yeh AH (2023) designed a small and stable protein scaffold from scratch to make the size and shape of the pocket suitable for diphenyltetrazine using the multinuclear transport factor NTF2-like superfamily as the target topology and diphenyltrazine as the target substrate of luciferase. By removing luciferase with a high degree of selectivity, this technique overcomes the limitations of naturally occurring proteins. Although the substrate apex of the de novo designed luciferase is higher, its catalytic efficiency towards diphenyltetrazine (kcat/Km = 106/M/s) is similar to that of natural luciferase [2]. NOTE: To make a 30 mM DTZ stock solution with 5 mM L-ascorbic acid, dissolve 1 mg of DTZ in 88 μL of master mix after first making a premix by dissolving 17.6 mg of L-ascorbic acid in 10 mL of ethanol and 10 mL of 1,2-propanediol [3].
ln Vivo
Background emission is absent when diphenyltetrazine is injected into untransfected BALB/c electrodes. Extended kinetics are shown in the bioluminescence generated by intraperitoneal injection of diphenyltetrazine [1]. The xenograft NU/J tumor model can be used to track the growth of treatment with diphenyltetrazine (0.3 μMol/mouse; 1.13 mg.mL–1/100 μL/mouse) [4].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
