Names

[ Name ]:
1,1'-DIHEXADECYL-3,3,3',3'-TETRAMETHYLINDOCARBOCYANINE PERCHLORATE

[Synonym ]:
3H-Indolium,1-hexadecyl-2-[3-(1-hexadecyl-1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2H-indol-2-ylidene)-1-propen-1-yl]-3,3-dimethyl-,perchlorate (1:1)

Biological Activity

[Description]:

DiIC16(3) is the lipid-mimetic dialkylindocarbocyanine (DiI) derivative. DiIC16(3) is a lipophilic red-orange fluorescent. DiIC16(3) is weakly fluorescent in water but highly fluorescent and quite photostable when incorporated into membranes. DiIC16(3) preferentially enters late endosomes/lysosomes[1].
