BDF34019555
BDF34019555 is a blood-brain barrier-permeable binder targeting the conserved region (amino acid residues 320-340) of TDP-43, with a Kd of 10.4 μM for full-length TDP-43 and 7.8 μM for the CR polypeptide, respectively. BDF34019555 binds to the conserved α-helical region of TDP-43 in a Trp334-dependent manner, inhibits liquid-liquid phase separation, aggregation and mitochondrial localization of TDP-43, restores mitochondrial function, reduces cytoplasmic and insoluble TDP-43 levels, without affecting the splicing activity of TDP-43. BDF34019555 exerts neuroprotective effects, alleviates motor neuron loss and improves motor neuron function. BDF34019555 can be used in studies related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Mitochondrial membrane-potential fluorescent assay
Mitochondrial membrane potential fluorescent assays estimate ΔΨm in living cells using lipophilic cationic dyes such as TMRM, TMRE, rhodamine 123, and JC-1, which accumulate in mitochondria according to membrane polarization; loss of signal after FCCP or CCCP treatment is interpreted as mitochondrial depolarization. TMRM/TMRE and rhodamine 123 are commonly used for semi-quantitative live-cell microscopy or flow cytometry, while JC-1 can report a shift from red aggregate fluorescence to green monomer fluorescence during depolarization; interpretation requires controls because dye concentration, quenching mode, cell type, dye efflux, and mitochondrial mass can affect fluorescence independently of ΔΨm.

Mitochondrial membrane-potential and mitochondrial mass staining
Mitochondrial membrane potential staining measures the electrochemical polarization across the mitochondrial inner membrane in live cells using lipophilic cationic fluorescent probes; early rhodamine-based work showed that selective mitochondrial dye accumulation is lost when the mitochondrial transmembrane potential is dissipated. JC-1 reports mitochondrial polarization by shifting from green monomer fluorescence to red J-aggregate fluorescence as dye concentration increases within energized mitochondria; therefore, the red/green fluorescence ratio is used as a relative readout of mitochondrial membrane potential. TMRE or TMRM staining provides a single-channel relative readout because these cationic rhodamine esters accumulate in polarized mitochondria, and lower fluorescence indicates reduced mitochondrial polarization when acquisition and dye-loading conditions are controlled. Mitochondrial mass staining is commonly performed with MitoTracker Green FM or related MitoTracker dyes as
