Summary: | We have presently studied a dialdehydic reagent, i.e. naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA), as a fluorogenic probe for the labeling of intracellular reduced glutathione (GSH), using a yeast strain
Candida albicans as a cell model. Chemical reactivity of NDA with both amino and sulfhydryl groups of the GSH molecule leads to a highly selective detection. Moreover, fluorescence properties of the resulting adduct fit well with most of modern instruments adapted for in situ measurements, and equipped with an argon laser. After incubation of cells with 100
μM of NDA for 20
min, cells were harvested and corresponding lysates obtained after a freezing cycle, were suspended in 0.2
M borate buffer pH 9.2 and analysed with HPLC (column: Spherisorb ODS-2 (125

nM). The cell loading step of the free probe NDA and the extraction efficiency of the resulting NDA-GSH adduct were optimized. |
