The new fluorescent indicator, mag-fura-5, was evaluated for its ability to measure accurately physiological changes in cytosolic free magnesium. The apparent dissociation constants (Kd) of the fluorochrome for Mg2+, Mg2+/EGTA and Ca2+/EGTA solutions were 14.7 mM, 15.4 mM, and 1.8 mM respectively. The calculated difference in the fluorescence ratios and in the resulting pMg between the standards with low-Ca2+or low H+backgrounds and the corresponding samples with approximately physiological levels were not significant. In contrast, the changes due to an increased Ca2+or H+content were statistically significant, with mean pMg differences of 0.10±0.09 (P<0.02) and 0.33±0.26 (P<0.01) respectively. Repetitive measurements on 3 consecutive days yielded comparable data with differences not exceeding 4%. Because of the good reproducibility, it is suggested that the new fluoresecent probe may be suitable for free cytosolic magnesium determinations in isolated cells.
