ICAAc is a solvatochromic fluorescent pH probe.1 As the polarity of the solvent increases, the emission wavelength of ICAAc increases. It displays excitation/emission maxima of 466/553, 431/515, and 418/503 nm in water, dioxane, and hexane, respectively. The absorption maximum of ICAAc decreases with increasing pH. It displays absorption/emission maxima of 470/554 and 428/553 nm at pH 3 and 11, respectively, in aqueous Britton-Robinson buffer, and the fluorescence intensity increases as pH decreases. ICAAc can be used for live cell applications. |1. Nagy, M., Racz, D., Nagy, Z.L., et al. Amino-isocyanoacridines: Novel, tunable solvatochromic fluorophores as phystiological pH probes. Sci.

1,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D-mannopyranose is an analog of N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) and a building block.1,2It has been used as a precursor in the synthesis of differently substituted trimers of the group AN. meningitidiscapsular polysaccharide repeating unit for use in immunological experiments.2It has also been used in the synthesis of fluorescentprobes for lysosomal labeling.3
monoMICAAc is a solvatochromic fluorescent pH probe.1 As the polarity of the solvent increases, the emission wavelength of monoMICAAc increases. It displays excitation emission maxima of 425 491, 437 515, and 472 554 nm in hexane, dioxane, and water, respectively. The absorption maximum of monoMICAAc decreases with increasing pH. It displays absorbance emission maxima of 475 553 and 446 553 nm at pH 3 and 11, respectively, in aqueous Britton-Robinson buffer, and the fluorescence intensity increases as pH decreases. monoMICAAc can be used for live cell fluorescent applications. |1.

Quin-2 is a high-affinity fluorescent calcium indicator (Kd = 115 nM for calcium). It displays high selectivity for calcium, as it is not affected by sodium gradients, membrane potential, or intracellular pH. High affinity probes like quin-2 are ideal for monitoring low levels of calcium, as are found in resting cells. Loadings of up to 2 mM quin-2 are without serious toxic effects, so quin-2 may be used to buffer intracellular calcium transients. Excitation emission maxima for quin-2 are 339 and 492 nm, respectively.
8Br-HA is an inhibitor of fragile histidine triad diadenosine triphosphatase (FHIT; IC50= 0.12 μM).1It inhibits the growth of HCC827 and H460 lung cancer cells (GI50s = 0.87 and 5.9 μM, respectively). 1.Kawaguchi, M., Sekimoto, E., Ohta, Y., et al.Synthesis of fluorescentprobes targeting tumor-suppressor protein FHIT and Identification of apoptosis-inducing FHIT inhibitorsJ.
