- Product Overview:
3,3?-Dipropylthiadicarbocyanine (diSC3(5)) is a fluorescent dye that has been used to monitor cell membrane potential.{64569,64570,64571} It displays excitation/emission maxima of 622/670 nm, respectively, and, upon cell hyperpolarization, it enters cells, and exhibits a shift in emission maxima to 688 nm and a decrease in fluorescence intensity.{64569} When the cell membrane is depolarized, the fluorescence intensity of diSC3(5) increases as it exits the cells. However, diSC3(5) (3 µM) also induces membrane hyperpolarization, increases intracellular sodium levels, and decreases intracellular potassium levels in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, as well as increases potassium membrane permeability by 64.6% in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells in the presence of the Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor ouabain.{64570} It also reduces cellular ATP levels in the absence of glucose and induces acid production and inhibits oxygen consumption in the presence of glucose in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells when used at a concentration of 3 µM.{64571}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
