Preparation of Hoechst working slution:
1.1 Preparation of stock solution Prepare 1 mg/mL Hoechst stock solution with DMSO. Note: Hoechst stock solution is recommended to be aliquoted and stored in the dark at -4 ℃ or -20 ℃. 1.2 Preparation of working slution Dilute the stock solution with preheated serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to a final concentration of 10 μ g/mL Hoechst working solution. Note: Please adjust the concentration of Hoechst working solution according to your specific needs, and use freshly prepared solutions. 2. Cell staining (suspended cells) 2.1 Centrifuge and collect cells, wash twice with PBS for 5 minutes each time. Cell density is 1 × 10~6/mL 2.2 Add 1 mL of Hoechst working solution and incubate at room temperature for 3-10 minutes. 2.3 400 g, centrifuge for 3-4 minutes, discard the supernatant. 2.4 Wash the cells twice with PBS, each time for 5 minutes. After resuspending cells in 1 mL serum-free medium or PBS, observe them using a fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer. 3. Cell staining (adherent cells) 3.1 Cultivate adherent cells on sterile coverslips. 3.2 Remove the cover glass from the culture medium and aspirate excess culture medium. 3.3 Add 100 μ L of dye working solution, gently shake to completely cover the cells, and incubate for 3-10 minutes. 3.4 Remove the dye working solution, wash 2-3 times with culture medium for 5 minutes each time, and observe using a fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer. |
Enzyme Assay |
DNA binding sites for the minor groove-binding ligands DAPI (4',6-diamidine-2-phenylindole) and Hoechst 33258 (bisbenzimide) have been analysed using DNAase I and micrococcal nuclease footprinting techniques. Both drugs appear to bind to AT-rich regions containing at least four such basepairs. Hoechst 33258 seems to bind relatively poorly to nucleotide sequences containing the alternating step TpA. However, in contrast to DAPI, it can more readily accommodate the presence of guanosine residues at the end of the binding site. We compare the DNA binding sites for DAPI and Hoechst 33258 with those determined for the related minor groove-binding ligands, berenil, netropsin and distamycin A, under comparable conditions, and discuss the importance of using different footprinting probes when analysing drug-DNA interactions[3].

Additional Infomation |
A number of applications of the detection of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis by fluorescence microscopy are illustrated. These include (a) the analysis of sister chromatid exchanges and sister chromatid segregation at mitosis, (b) the location of chromosome regions containing deoxyribonucleic acid with an asymmetric distribution of thymine residues between polynucleotide chains and (c) the detection of late replicating regions in metaphase chromosomes. The suppression of 33258 Hoechst fluorescence by 5-bromodeoxyuridine incorporated biosynthetically into interphase nuclei is demonstrated both in fixed cytologic preparations and in unfixed cultured cells. Many of the cytologic observations described might form a basis for future biochemical studies.[2]

Solubility (In Vitro) |

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.68 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
Calculation results
Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
