General description

Bromobimane is also known as monobromobimane. It is also a known probe for thiols and is a fluorescent reagent activated upon a photolysis reaction.

Application

Bromobimane is used for the determination of thiols by the HPLC method. It is suitable as a pre-column derivatization agent for fluorometric determination of 2,3-dimercaptopropane-1-sulfonic acid and other dithiols. Bromobimane has been used as a fluorescent label in studying oligomycin-sensitive ATPase from beef heart mitochondria.
Bromobimane has been used for the quantitative measurement of free hydrogen sulfide in vivo and in vitro. It has been used for the labeling of proteins containing thiol groups.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bromobimane in solution reacts with small thiol groups (e.g., GSH) and with reactive protein thiol groups (e.g., hemoglobin). The reaction of Bromobimane with thiols is of second-order and dependent on pH and upon reacting with thiolate, it activates the water-soluble fluorescent product for detection.

The bimane fluorescent labels, monobromobimane, dibromobimane, and monobromotrimethylammoniobimane, are derivatives of syn-9,10-dioxabimane:1,5-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octa-3,6-diene-2,8-dione. They efficiently label hemoglobin (reactive thiol groups), membrane proteins, and glutathione of normal human red cells under physiological conditions.

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is the most prevalent form of human immunotoxicity. It is caused by skin exposure to haptens, i.e., protein-reactive, low-molecular-weight chemical compounds, which form hapten-protein complexes (HPCs) in the skin, triggering the immune system. These immunogenic HPCs

A method based on the differential reactivity of thiol and thiolate with monobromobimane (mBBr) has been developed to measure nucleophilicity and acidity of protein and low-molecular-weight thiols. Nucleophilicity of the thiolate is measured as the pH-independent second-order rate constant of
