annine-6plus annine-6plus annine-6plus is a water soluble voltage sensitive dye (also called potentiometric dyes). this compound was developed at the max planck institute for biochemistry in germany. it is used to optically measure the changes in transmembrane voltage of excitable cells, including neurons, skeletal and cardiac myocytes. annine-6plus names preferred iupac name 3-isoquinolin-2-ium-2-yl]-n,n,n-trimethylpropan-1-aminium dibromide identifiers cas number 1151942-85-6 y 3d model (jsmol) interactive image chemspider 27473575 pubchem cid 71308153 unii zsr3ub5rg2 y comptox dashboard (epa) dtxsid20745426 inchi inchi=1s/c39h47n3.2brh/c1-6-8-23-41(24-9-7-2)31-13-16-32-29(27-31)11-14-36-34(32)17-19-39-37-15-12-30-28-40(22-10-26-42(3,4)5)25-21-33(30)35(37)18-20-38(36)39;;/h11-21,25,27-28h,6-10,22-24,26h2,1-5h3;2*1h/q+2;;/p-2key: lgxpdfmrhwkugj-uhfffaoysa-linchi=1/c39h47n3.2brh/c1-6-8-23-41(24-9-7-2)31-13-16-32-29(27-31)11-14-36-34(32)17-19-39-37-15-12-30-28-40(22-10-26-42(3,4)5)25-21-33(30)35(37)18-20-38(36)39;;/h11-21,25,27-28h,6-10,22-24,26h2,1-5h3;2*1h/q+2;;/p-2key: lgxpdfmrhwkugj-nuqvwonbaz smiles c(c)(c)ccc1=cc(c=c2)=c(c=c1)c3=c2c(c=c4)=c(c=c3)c5=c4c6=cc=c(n(cccc)cccc)c=c6c=c5.. properties chemical formula c39h47br2n3 molar mass 717.634 g·mol−1 except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °c , 100 kpa). infobox references voltage sensitivity annine-6plus has a fractional fluorescent intensity change (δf/f per 100 mv change) of about 30% with single-photon excitation (~488 nm) and >50% with two-photon excitation (~1060 nm). applications annine-6plus has been applied in the microscopic imaging of action potentials of cardiomyocyte in perfused mice heart. using confocal microscopy in conjunction with annine-6plus, single sweep action potentials with high peak signal-to-noise ratio (snr) have been recorded from single transverse tubule (t-tubule) of a few micrometers in the ventricular cardiomyocyte.
