Descripciòn

EF-5 (EF5; 2-Nitroimidazole) is a hypoxia labeling agent used to identify hypoxia in cells.

In Vitro

Overexpression of CYPOR induces similar 2- to 4-fold increases in EF-5 binding and metabolic reduction of tirapazamine and CEN-209 in SiHa and HCT116 cell lines, and similar enhancement of γH2AX formation. EF-5 binding and metabolic reduction of the prodrugs are highly correlated in a panel of 14 hypoxic tumor cell lines[1].

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

In Vivo

EF-5 binding is a promising stratification biomarker for benzotriazine-N-oxide bioreductive prodrugs. In HCT116 xenografts, CYPOR overexpression also significantly increases EF-5 binding and CEN-209 reduction, and modification of tumor hypoxia causes similar changes to the bioreductive activation of both agents, resulting in a strong correlation between EF-5 binding and CEN209-induced DNA damage at the individual tumor level[1]. Following intravenous injection of EF-5, binding and detection using a monoclonal antibody in 9L gliomas is specific and oxygen dependent. Detection of binding using fluorescence microscopy can be performed on frozen tissues; tissue sections can be counterstained with haematoxylin and eosin for light microscopic analysis. Alternatively, the distribution of hypoxia in a tumor can be inferred by examining individual tumor cells using flow cytometric techniques[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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.88 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.88 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.

Administraciòn de animales
[2]

Rats: The rat is given EF-5 as an intravenous injection of 10 mM EF-5 prepared in 0.9% saline. The mass of solution administered is 1% of the rat's mass. Three hours following EF-5 administration, anaesthesia is induced with xylazine and ketamine, the tumor removed and immediately cooled. The tumor is weighed and then bisected. Half of the tumor is used for disaggregation and cell analysis and the other half is quickly frozen for histopathological analysis[2].

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.
