V-Coelenterazine (V-CTZ) is a synthetic analogue of Coelenterazine with an additional Benzyl ring. This compound has the unique ability to shift the emission spectra of wildtyp Renilla Luciferase, RLuc8 and Green Renilla Luciferase to longer wavelengths.
V-Coelenterazine is particular difficult to get into solution. We recommend using CAT#398 NanoFuel-V Solvent for dissolving and stabilizing v-Coelenterazine.

Compound ID v-Coelenterazine (V-CTZ) or Coelenterazine-v Molecular Formula
C28H21N3O3 Alternative Name 16-benzyl-5-hydroxy-13-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-11,14,17-triazatetracyclo [8.7.0.0^{2,7}.0^{11,15}] heptadeca-1(10),2(7),3,5,8,13,15-heptaen-12-one MW 447.48 g/mol Solvent We recommend NanoFuel-V Solvent, especially designed for this compound. Solubility in Ethanol or Methanol is very low. Shift in emission with RLuc 8
Renilla Luciferases emission spectra
The advantages of lyophilized luciferins
- pre-aliquoted in small amounts, fresh substrate for every set of experiments
- long shelf-life (packed under Argon)
- faster to dissolve due to its fine crystal structure
- consistent quality between aliquotes
The luciferin is shipped as filtered, lyophilized, batch controlled substrate in 500 µg and 1 mg aliquots (1 mg = 2x 500 µg).
10 mgs is packed as regular powder in one tube.
