Coelenterazine
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Coelenterazine is a luminescent enzyme substrate for apoaequorin and Renilla luciferase. Renilla luciferase and substrate coelenterazine has been used as the bioluminescence donor in bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) to detect protein-protein interactions. Coelenterazine is a superoxide anion-sensitive chemiluminescent probe and it can also be used in chemiluminescent detection of peroxynitrite (Ex/Em = 429/466 nm).

Biologische Aktivität
HCT-8 control cells, transiently expressing Renilla luciferase (RLuc), showed low bioluminescence due to P-glycoprotein–mediated efflux transport of coelenterazine. By comparison, transiently expressing RLuc HCT-8 cells, wherein P-glycoprotein was down-regulated with shRNAi, showed high bioluminescence[3].
Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).
Measurement of free radical production[5].
1. The measurements are performed in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0.
2. Coelenterazine (2.5 μM) is added to the buffer immediately prior
to measurements.
3. Add 2 mg/mL NADH.
4. At room temperature using a luminometer.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Coelenterazine (2 mg/kg) is injected intravenously.
After 5 minutes, the mice are fixed and imaged for 3 to 5 minutes.
All mice demonstrated very high Rluc activity at the primary site with the majority of mice simultaneously showing metastases to inguinal ILNs[4].

Protokoll
Cells are plated at a density of 5×104 cells per well into 24-well plates and grown to 80-100% confluency. Just before imaging, media are changed to a colorless solution containing (in mM): 2.7 KCl, 139 NaCl, 8.1 Na2HPO4, 0.7 H2O, 1.5 KH2PO4, 1.8 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2 and 5.5 d-glucose. Cells are preincubated for 15 min in the absence or presence of Pgp modulator, after which Coelenterazine (final concentration of 470 nM) is added directly to the cells[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Mice are anesthetized with metofane before tail vein injection of Coelenterazine (4 μg/g) formulated from an ethanol stock diluted in sodium phosphate buffer (50 mM). Bioluminescence imaging is performed on the in vivo imaging system at 2, 6, 8, and 11 min after injection. After imaging, animals are killed by cervical dislocation; tumors are then harvested and weighed[1].
