General description

2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescein diacetate, also known as DCFHDA or Dcfh-DA, is a sensitive cell-permeable redox probe. The lipophilic non-fluorescent Dcfh-DA readily crosses the cell membrane through passive diffusion followed by deacetylation. The deacylated product is an oxidant sensitive 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCHF). DCHF is oxidized later to form highly fluorescent DCF, which is measured.

Application

2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescein diacetate is predominantly used to detect reactive oxygen (ROS) intermediates and quantify the overall oxidative stress in cells.

Dcfh-DA is used in the quantitative assay to measure oxidative stress in nanoparticle-treated cells.

We previously reported that μ-oxo N,N'-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine iron [Fe(Salen)], a magnetic organic compound, has direct anti-tumor activity, and generates heat in an alternating magnetic field (AMF). We showed that Fe(Salen) nanoparticles are useful for combined hyperthermia-chemotherapy of tongue cancer. Here, we

In a previous study, we described a series of 28 aryl- and alkyl-substituted isothiouronium salts with antitumor activity and selectivity toward a leukemia cell line. Among the synthesized compounds, methyl (Z)-2-(isothioureidomethyl)-2-pentenoate hydrobromide (IS-MF08) showed conspicuous activity. In the present study

2',7'-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) is commonly used to detect the generation of reactive oxygen intermediates and for assessing the overall oxidative stress in toxicological phenomenon. It has been suggested that DCFH-DA crosses the cell membrane, subsequently undergoing deacetylation by intracellular esterases.
