Dihydrofluorescein diacetate (CAS 35340-49-9)
QUICK LINKS
Dihydrofluorescein diacetate is a non-fluorescent compound that is used as a cell-permeable indicator of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in various experimental applications. Upon entering the cell, dihydrofluorescein diacetate is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to form dihydrofluorescein, which is then oxidized by ROS to produce the highly fluorescent compound, fluorescein. This process allows for the detection and quantification of ROS levels within cells, providing insights into oxidative stress and cellular redox status. The fluorescence emitted by dihydrofluorescein serves as a reliable indicator of ROS production, which may be useful for studying oxidative stress-related processes in cell biology and biochemistry. Its ability to detect ROS levels within cells makes dihydrofluorescein diacetate a chemical for investigating the role of oxidative stress in various cellular processes.
