Biological Activity

Description Lucigenin (NSC-151912, L-6868) is a fluoerscent probe that exhibits a bluish-green fluorescence in the presence of endogenously generated superoxide anion radicals and chloride in cells.
Targets
superoxide anion radical [1] chloride [1]
In vitro
In vitro

1.1 Preparation of the stock solution
Dissolve 1 mg of Lucigenin in 0.1919 mL of DMSO to obtain 10 mM of Lucigenin.
Note: It is recommended to store the stock solution at -20 °C -80 °C away from light and avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
1.2 Preparation of Lucigenin working solution
Dilute the stock solution in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to obtain 5-10 μM of Lucigenin working solution.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of Lucigenin working solution according to the actual situation.
Cell staining
2.1 Cell preparation.
For suspension cells: Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
For adherent cells: Discard the cell culture medium, and add trypsin to dissociate cells to make a single-cell suspension. Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
2.2 Add 1 mL of Lucigenin working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
2.3 Centrifuge at 400 g at 4°C for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant.
2.4 Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
2.5 Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS, and then detect by fluorescence microscope.

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.
