Novel Far-Red Fluorescent 1,4-Dihydropyridines for L-Type Calcium Channel Imaging
Upregulation of L-type calcium channels (LTCCs) is implicated in a range of cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Therefore, the development of toolboxes that unlock fast imaging protocols in live cells is coveted. Herein, we report a library of first-in-class far-red small-molecule-based fluorescent ligands (FluoDiPines), able to target LTCCs. All fluorescent ligands were evaluated in whole-cell patch-clamp and live-cell Ca2+ imaging whereby FluoDiPine 6 was found to be the best candidate for live-cell fluorescence imaging. Low concentration of FluoDiPine 6 (50 nM) and a quick labeling protocol (5 min) are successfully applied to fixed and live cells to image LTCCs with good specificity.

One thing @chemjobber.bsky.social appreciates about the commercial chemical manufacturing world is that it uses the standard ‘retest date’, rather than the food-related term ‘expiration date’.
