| Bioactivity | Diphenylterazine (DTZ) is a bioluminescence agent. Diphenylterazine alone yielded very little background, leading to excellent signal-to-background ratios[1]. Storage: protect from light. |
| Invitro | Diphenylterazine elicits minimal cell toxicity at millimolar concentrations[1].Notes: To make a stock solution for DTZ (Diphenylterazine), first, a premixture is prepared by dissolving 17.6 mg of L-ascorbic acid (HY-B0166) in 10 mL ethanol and 10 mL 1,2-propanediol; next, 1 mg of DTZ is dissolved in 88 µL of the premix, resulting in a 30 mM DTZ stock solution containing 5 mM L-ascorbic acid[3]. |
| In Vivo | Diphenylterazine injections into untransfected BALB/c mice do not yield any background emission. The bioluminescence resulting from intraperitoneally injected Diphenylterazine displays extended kinetics[1].DTZ (0.3 μmol/mouse (1.13 mg.ml-1/100 ul/mouse); i.v.) treatment can track tumor growth in a xenograft NU/J mouse model[2]. |
