Application

7-Azido-4-methylcoumarin (AzMC) is a fluorogenic probe useful for the detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The aromatic azide moiety is selectively reduced in the presence of H2S, producing the fluorescent 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) with a concomitant increase in fluorescence with ?ex = 365 nm and ?em = 450 nm. The probe can be used both to monitor enzymatic production of H2S in vitro [1] and also to visualize H2S in cells [2]. The probe is highly sensitive and selective for H2S, providing a linear detection range in vitro between 200 nm – 100 μM H2S with 10 μM probe, and reacting selectively with H2S in the presence of mM concentrations of cysteine, homocysteine, glutathionine and many other common biological analytes.

Caution: Use of this product with DTT, TCEP and/or biological thiols >25 mM should be avoided for maximum efficiency.

AzMC is readily soluble in DMSO.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced signaling molecule. The enzymes 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MST), partly localized in mitochondria, and the inner mitochondrial membrane-associated sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQR), besides being respectively involved in the synthesis and catabolism of H2S, generate sulfane sulfur
