Luciferin is an organic substance that produces light when oxidized in the presence of the enzyme luciferase. It is widely used in molecular imaging, as an in vivo imaging method, and for other scientific purposes. This light-emitting compound is also utilized in drug discovery and protein-protein interactions. Moreover, it finds its application in bioluminescence imaging microscopy to visualize cellular processes and protein tendencies. It is also used to detect and estimate microorganisms in a variety of foods, including meat, milk, poultry, etc.

The market for luciferin is majorly led by its wide usage for various scientific purposes, which contributes to its market expansion. Its extensive application as a method of in vivo imaging in science and medicine significantly boosts its demand in the medical, pharmaceutical, healthcare, and medical devices industries. Additionally, its employment in industrial applications, including molecular imaging, drug discovery, and protein-protein interaction, further promotes its demand in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Additionally, its employment in the enumeration of microbial load in various food varieties, such as milk and meat, remarkably enhances its demand in the food industry. Furthermore, several factors influence industrial luciferin procurement, such as the source and purity, cost and pricing, compliance with pharmaceutical regulations, quality standards, technological advancements, environmental considerations, sustainability practices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, safety standards, etc.

Raw Material for Luciferin Production

According to the Luciferin manufacturing plant project report, the major raw material for Luciferin production includes Beetles.

Manufacturing Process of Luciferin

The extensive Luciferin production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Biosynthetic Pathway: This production process involves in vivo biosynthesis using various Coleoptera families, including fireflies (Lampyridae), click beetles (Elateridae), etc. The procedure involves the condensation of 2-cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole with D-cysteine, which results in the formation of D-luciferin.

Luciferin appears as a pale yellow-to-white crystalline solid. It is a light-emitting molecule that reacts with oxygen to create light. This reaction of glow and creating light is called bioluminescence. It serves as a substrate of luciferase (enzyme) that catalyzes the reaction between luciferin and oxygen. It is also known as firefly luciferin. These substances are naturally produced by various luminescent organisms such as fireflies and some marine creatures. It is more stable under acidic conditions than in an alkaline solution. The molecular formula of luciferin is C11H8N2O3S2, and its molar mass is 280.32 g/mol. The density of the compound is 1.8 g/cm3.
