DAPI (4,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole) dilactate is a DAPI dye. DAPI is a fluorescent dye that binds strongly to DNA. It binds to the AT base pair of the double-stranded DNA minor groove, and one DAPI molecule can occupy three base pair positions. The fluorescence intensity of DAPI molecules bound to double-stranded DNA is increased by about 20 times, and it is commonly observed with fluorescence microscopy, and the amount of DNA can be determined based on the intensity of fluorescence. DAPI cannot penetrate intact cell membranes and is commonly used for staining both live and fixed cells[1]. DAPI (Compound 3) is an acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3) inhibitor. DAPI binds to ASIC3 and blocks the channel function. DAPI can be used in the study of chronic pain treatment (Ex/Em = 356/451 nm)[2].
