Description

AkaLumine hydrochloride is a luciferin analogue, with a K_m of 2.06 μM for recombinant Fluc protein.

IC₅₀ & Target

Km: 2.06 μM (recombinant Fluc protein)^[1].

In Vitro

In both LLC/luc and MDA-MB-231/luc cells treated with AkaLumine hydrochloride, the signal is maximal at lower concentrations (by 2.5 μM), whereas the bioluminescence generated by D-luciferin and CycLuc1 increase as concentrations increase further, not appearing to reach a maximal signal even at 250 μM^[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

AkaLumine hydrochloride displays greatly enhanced signals emanating from metastasis in the lung, as demonstrated by 8.1-fold higher with AkaLumine hydrochloride as compared with D-luciferin administration. To evaluate the advantage of AkaLumine hydrochloride over CycLuc1 in detecting targets in deep tissue, bioluminescence images are compared between AkaLumine hydrochloride- and CycLuc1-treated mice 15 min after intravenous injection of LLC/luc cells at the dose of 5 mM, which is the maximum concentration of CycLuc1 due to its low water solubility. AkaLumine hydrochloride exhibits 3.3-fold increase in detection sensitivity of disseminated cancer cells in the lung compared with CycLuc1. The advantage of AkaLumine hydrochloride is further confirmed by imaging the same mice bearing lung metastasis after intraperitoneal injection of 5 mM substrates in order of CycLuc1 and AkaLumine hydrochloride, and in the inverse order at an 8-h interval. AkaLumine hydrochloride displays about fourfold increase in signals from lung metastasis compared with CycLuc1^[1].

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.

Protocol 1

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 4 mg/mL (11.80 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 4 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (40.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 4 mg/mL (11.80 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 4 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (40.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
