HYDROETHIDINE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production
Uses
Dihydroethidium, also known as hydroethidine, is a dye that can permeate viable cells and accumulate in the nucleus after it is dehydrogenated to ethidium bromide and is used to measure oxygen reduction in phagocytes during respiratory burst. In the presence of an oxidant it will fluoresce and has been used as a dye in flow cytometry. Studies have used Dihydroethidium to study alveolar macrophages, blood leukocytes, and epithelial cells, among others, and has be used to measure intracellular H2O2 and O2-, and reactive oxygen. Dyes and metabolites.
General Description
A cell-permeable, chemically reduced ethidium derivative that can be used as a fluorogenic probe for the detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It undergoes significant oxidation in resting leukocytes, possibly through the uncoupling of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Cytosolic dihydroethidium displays blue fluorescence, however, following oxidation to ethidium and subsequent intercalation to DNA, a bright red fluorescence is achieved. Often used to determine the level of superoxide anion in cells by flow cytometry.
