CAS 41085-99-8: 1,1′-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate
Description:1,1′-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate, commonly referred to as DiI, is a lipophilic fluorescent dye widely used in biological and biochemical research. This compound is characterized by its long hydrophobic octadecyl chains, which enhance its membrane permeability and allow for effective incorporation into lipid membranes. DiI exhibits strong fluorescence properties, particularly in the red region of the spectrum, making it suitable for various imaging applications, including cell tracking and membrane labeling. The perchlorate salt form contributes to its solubility in organic solvents, while the indocarbocyanine structure provides stability and resistance to photobleaching. Due to its lipophilic nature, DiI is often used to stain live cells and tissues, enabling researchers to visualize cellular processes and membrane dynamics. However, caution is advised when handling this compound, as it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating appropriate safety measures during use.
