Description

NBD-F (4-Fluoro-7-nitrobenzofurazan) is a pro-fluorescent reagent which is developed for amino acid analysis. NBD-F reacts with primary or secondary amines to produce a fluorescent product and used for analysis of amino acids and low molecular weight amines[1].

In Vitro

As the percentage of the organic phase changes, the retention time of NBD-F remains relatively stable, while the retention times of the derivatization products changes. The pH of the mobile phase affects the separation of the NBD-F and the derivatization products[1]. NBD-F is a fluorescent derivatization reagent that is originally developed for amino acid analysis, and recently applied to the analysis of other amino acid derivatives such as N-methyl-D-aspartic acid and glutathione. The use of NBD-F appears to have several advantages in that the derivatization procedure is simple and its derivatives are highly stable[2].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (13.65 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

Kinase Assay
[1]

An accurately weighed quantity (0.0183 g) of NBD-F is transferred into a 1 mL centrifuge tube, dissolved in acetonitrile and made up to volume with the same solvent to produce stock solutions of 0.1 M. The solution is protected from light and stored at -20°C until analyzed. A 100 μL aliquot of mixed amino acids solution or sample supernatant, 175 μL of borate buffer solution, 200 μL of acetonitrile and 25 μL of NBD-F working solution are mixed in a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube. The well-mixed solution is allowed to react at 60°C in the water bath for 7 min, excluding light. NBD-F reacts with amino group and enables amino acids to be detected with UV detection. After cooling to room temperature, 10 μL of the solution is injected into the equilibrated HPLC system[1].

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.
