Soporidine
Soporidine is an antagonist of germination of the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica. Soporidine specifically inhibits a S. hermonthica strigolactone receptor and inhibits the parasite's germination. Soporidine is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Soporidine binds to the AtHTL receptor and to a key Strigolactone (SL) receptor in S. hermonthica, inhibiting Striga germination in the presence of SLs. Soporidine could serve as the basis for the development of Strigolactone (SL) antagonist to combat Striga infestations. Soporidine is a potent antagonist in GR24-dependent Arabidopsis germination assay and shows no enhancement of SL signaling mutant phenotypes[1].

EdU Incorporation Assay (Click Chemistry-Based DNA Synthesis Measurement)
The EdU incorporation assay measures DNA synthesis by adding the thymidine analog 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine to cells or tissues, where it is incorporated into newly synthesized DNA during S phase. Incorporated EdU is detected by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, in which a fluorescent azide covalently reacts with the ethynyl group on EdU, allowing S-phase cells to be detected by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or high-content imaging. EdU detection does not require DNA denaturation or anti-BrdU antibody access, which preserves sample structure and improves compatibility with immunostaining and multiparameter cytometry compared with BrdU-based detection. EdU can be cytotoxic in a cell-type- and exposure-dependent manner, so pulse duration, concentration, and continuous-labeling designs should be validated for each cell type.
