ANEPPS dye is a fast-response membrane potential dye.
Di-8-ANEPPS is a naphthyl styryl potential-sensitive fluorescent dye that can be used for non-invasive measurement of transmembrane voltage and responds quickly to changes in membrane potential[1]. Both the fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of Di-8-ANEPPS will change with the change of V m. Di-8-ANEPPS does not emit fluorescence in water, but it will emit strong fluorescence when combined with the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, and the change of fluorescence intensity is proportional to the change of ΔΦ[2]. Di-8-ANEPPS has been used to detect transmembrane potentials in many types of static/dynamic cells, including nerve cells, endothelial cells, cardiac cells, and skeletal muscle cells.
Di-8-ANEPPS and Di-4-ANEPPS exhibit fairly consistent fluorescence intensity change rates (10% fluorescence change/100mV) in various tissues, cells and model membrane systems. Compared to Di-4-ANEPPS, Di-8-ANEPPS is more lipophilic and less susceptible to cellular internalization due to its sulfonate group, resulting in better retention on the plasma membrane, suitable for long-term membrane Potential research[2]. Di-8-ANEPPS is also more photostable and less toxic than Di-4-ANEPPS.
