D-LuciferinFirefly,sodiumsaltmonohydrate

D-Luciferin Firefly, sodium salt monohydrate (S)-4,5-Dihydro-2-(6-hydroxy-2-benzothiazolyl)-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid sodium salt D-Luciferin is a substrate for bioluminescence. It is used in the diagnosis of diseases and to test for the presence of certain enzymes in cells and tissues. D-Luciferin is an analogue of coelenterazine, which has a similar structure to luciferin, but without the sugar moiety. D-Luciferin is an organic compound that can be synthesized from sodium salts and D-glucose. The reaction proceeds by the following mechanism: 4Na+ + D-Glucose ? 4Na+ + 2D-Gluconic acid ? 4Na+ + 2D-Lactonic acid ? 4Na+ + 3D-Lactaldehyde ? 4Na+ + 3D-Lactic acid ? 3D-Lactone ? 3D-luciferin The final product, 3D-luciferin, can be purified by crystallization or distillation.
