APF ~5 mM ≥98% (by HPLC)
APF
Fluorescent probe for hROS detection.
Fluorescent reagent (Ex(max): 490 nm; Em(max): 515 nm) for the detection of highly reactive oxygen species (hROS). Immediately reacts with hROS such as hydroxyl radical, peroxynitrite and hypochlorite, and the fluorescence intensity greatly increases. Use of APF together with HPF also allows for specific detection of hypochlorite (-OCl) to elucidate reliable the roles of -OCl in biological systems such as neutrophils. Peroxynitrite can be detected in distinction from nitric oxide and superoxide since APF does not react with nitric oxide, superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, APF is resistant to light-induced autooxidation.
Synonym: Aminophenyl fluorescein, 2-[6-(4'-Amino)phenoxy-3H-xanthen-3-on-9-yl]benzoic acid.
