Description

7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin belongs to the coumarin class, can be isolated from the endophytic fungus Xylaria sp. and has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. 7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin is also commonly used as an important laser dye that emits in the blue region, capable of analyzing glycoprotein monosaccharides and N-linked oligosaccharides, and is also utilized in tissue pathology analysis, enzyme activity measurement, and copper ion detection. The excitation wavelength and emission wavelength are 351 nm and 430 nm, respectively.[1][2][3][4]

In Vitro

7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin for Tissue Pathology Analysis[2]
(1) Original solution preparation: Dissolve 7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin in 10 mg/mL DMSO and store it at room temperature in the dark.
(2) Working solution preparation: Dissolve 25 μL of the 7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin stock solution and 2.5 mg of 2-pyridine borane in 50 mL of 1 mg/mL citric acid solution.
(3) Dewax and hydrate the slices first, and then oxidize them in 0.5% (w/v) periodic acid solution for 10 minutes.
(4) After rinsing with distilled water, stain the slices with the 7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin working solution for 10 minutes.
(5) Rinse again with distilled water, then counterstain the slices with Mayer's hematoxylin for 1 minute.
(6) Wash the slices under slightly warm (about 40°C) tap water for 5 minutes, then immerse them in a solution of Eosin Y diluted with 95% ethanol in a 3:1 ratio for 2 minutes.
(7) After rinsing with distilled water, dehydrate and clear the slices, then mount them with the non-fluorescent, anhydrous mounting medium Entellan New.
(8) Use an Axio Observer inverted microscope illuminated with LED (385 nm UV fluorescence), employing a 96 H & E filter set with BP390/40, BS420, and BP450/40 for bright field morphological analysis and UV excitation fluorescence signal analysis.
7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin for Enzyme Activity Detection[3]
(1) Cultivate red fungi and related actinomycetes on glucose yeast extract agar at 25°C for five days.
(2) Dissolve 5 mg of the enzyme to be tested in 200 μL N,N-dimethylformamide to make a 2×10-3 M solution. Dilute it to 10 mL with 0.05 M Tris buffer, adjusting the pH to 7.0. The substrate solution can be used immediately without sterilization or stored at -20°C for up to 3 months.
(3) Generate fluorescent 7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin from the conjugated substrate through enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis. At an excitation wavelength of 380 nm, close to the strong 366 nm line of a mercury arc lamp, there is strong fluorescence emission at 460 nm, falling into the blue region.
(4) Lightly draw a 20 mm diameter circle with a pencil on Whatman No. 3 filter paper (about 90 mm) placed inside a standard 100 mm petri dish lid.
(5) Transfer the cultured red fungal and related actinomycetes inoculum into the circular area on the filter paper using a wooden toothpick. Inoculate 8-10 spots in each petri dish, pressing them into the paper, and then add a drop of substrate using an automatic pipette.
(6) Use the bottom of the petri dish as a lid, and incubate the reactants at 37°C for 10 minutes.
(7) Record a positive reaction when a strong light blue fluorescence is observed under UV light.
7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin for Cu2+ Detection[4]
(1) Dissolve 7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin and o-phenylenediamine (OPD) in 0.2M Tris-HCl buffer at pH 7.4, with concentrations of 50 μM and 50 mM respectively, adjusting the pH to 7-9.
(2) Prepare a copper sulfate storage solution by dilution to obtain different concentrations ranging from 0-300 μM.
(3) Mix 100 μL of the different concentrations of Cu2+ solution with AMC (20 μL, 50 μM), OPD (50 μL, 50 mM), and Tris-HCl (830 μL, 0.2 M, pH 7.4) thoroughly at 37°C for 2 minutes, then incubate the mixture in a water bath at 37°C for 2 hours. Record the changes in the fluorescence intensity ratios (F557/F438) using an F-4500 fluorescence spectrophotometer at an excitation wavelength of 360 nm.
(4) Maintain 20 μL of 50 μM AMC, 50 μL of 50 mM OPD, and 830 μL of 0.2 M Tris-HCl buffer (pH = 7.4) in a 2 mL centrifuge tube in a 37°C water bath for 2 minutes; then add 100 μL of different metal ions to the reaction solution and react at 37°C for 2 hours. Record the changes in the fluorescence intensity ratios using an F-4500 fluorescence spectrophotometer at an excitation wavelength of 360 nm.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
