General description
A cell-permeable N-dimethylallylated 3-hydroxyindole based compound that is shown to selectively stain neutral lipids, but not phospholipids, in various cells lines with bright fluorescence and with minimal non-specific background. Generates stronger staining with lipid droplets (~10 µM) when compared to Nile Red. Shown to be more effective than BODIPY® 493/503 in assessing hepatotoxicity of several known compounds using HepG2 cells. Also suitable for staining fat deposits in developing zebrafish embryos. Can be used in conjunction with LipidToxt red dye for multicolor imaging of neutral lipids.
