Coelenterazine

Coelenterazine is a luminescent enzyme substrate for apoaequorin and Renilla luciferase. Renilla luciferase and substrate coelenterazine have been used as bioluminescence donors in bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) to detect protein-protein interactions. Coelenterazine is a superoxide anion-sensitive chemiluminescent probe, and it can also be used in the chemiluminescent detection of peroxynitrite.

Renilla luciferase and substrate coelenterazine have been used as bioluminescence donors in bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) to detect protein-protein interactions.

When monitoring various biological processes, coelenterazine (CTZ) can be catalyzed by luciferases, such as the sea pansy Renilla reniformis (Rluc) and the marine copepod Gaussia princeps (Gluc), which results in emission of blue light. In Gli36-Gluc- or Gli36-Rluc-expressing Gli36 cells, coelenterazine (8 礸/ml) shows a bioluminescence signal. [1] In RIN-5F, 4T1, HCT 116, HEK 293, 293FT, HeLa and INS-1 cells, coelenterazine can be used to assay superoxide anion concentrations. [2]

In 4T1-implanted mouse, Coelenterazine detects cancer-associated superoxide anion and used to evaluate the role of superoxide anion in cancer cell biology and its role in pathology. [2]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid 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 master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
