NIR‐fluorescent ceramide
NIR-fluorescent ceramide is a neutral near-infrared (NIF) fluorescent probe (λem=650 nm) based on the C-bridged nitrobenzoxadiazole SCOTfluor core, which enables visualization of lipid metabolic processes such as sphingolipid trafficking. The emission signal of NIR-fluorescent ceramide increases significantly in liposomal environments. NIR-fluorescent ceramide acts as an intracellular trafficking tracer, localizing to regions surrounding the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus within a short period, and then translocating to recycling lysosomes over a longer period, thus enabling real-time visualization of sphingolipid trafficking and biological lipid functions in living cells. NIR-fluorescent ceramide also generates metabolic uptake profiles and provides multiple metabolic readouts in human cancer cell lines.

Descripciòn
In Vitro
NIR‐fluorescent ceramide (compound 8) exhibits a fluorescence response property, with its fluorescence emission intensity increasing by approximately 15-fold in liposomes with a phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol ratio of 7:1[1].
NIR-fluorescent ceramide (50 nM; 15 min, 3 h) mainly localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum of A549 cells at 15 min post-treatment, and translocates to recycling lysosomes by 3 h post-treatment[1][2].
