Nile Red Usage And Synthesis
Description

Nile Red is an aphotostable and lipophilic stain for intracellular lipids and hydrophobic domains of proteins and also for staining of lysosomal phospholipid inclusions.

UsesNile red is a lipophilic stain. It stains intracellular lipid droplets. Nile red is also intensely fluorescent, with a strong yellow-gold emission if included into a lipid-rich environment.
Nile Red Fluorescent image
DefinitionNile Red is an organic heterotetracyclic compound that is 5H-benzo[a]phenoxazin-5-one substituted at position 9 by a diethylamino group.
ApplicationUsed as a polarity-sensitive fluorescent probe of lipids and proteins.
General DescriptionNile Red is an uncharged hydrophobic molecule and a benzophenoxazone dye. It functions as a fluorescent probe for intracellular lipids and hydrophobic domains of proteins. This dye is fluorescent in all organic solvents. Its fluorescence colors range from golden yellow to deep red.
SynthesisUsing the 1,3-Naphthalenediol Approach to synthsis Nile red. To a solution of 1,3-naphthalenediol (0.50 g, 3.12 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (25 mL) was added 4-nitroso-N,N-diethylaniline (0.56 g, 3.12 mmol). This reaction mixture was stirred at 80 °C (DrySyn heating block) for 16 h and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (050% EtOAc in hexanes) to obtain Nile Red, which crystallized from hexanes in green crystals (0.80 g, 2.50 mmol). Yield: 80%[1].
