A synthetic three-fluorophore system with two enzymatically cleavable linkers has been developed for the simultaneous detection of two proteases in a mixture. The probe was designed to afford single excitation/triple emission ratiometric detection through a fluorescence change during the cleavage of a peptide linker. The developed assays were verified for trypsin and chymotrypsin as the model enzymes.
This paper describes the synthesis of precursors with a benzo [b]furan skeleton for the intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides prepared from N-substituted 3-allyl-aminobenzo[b]furan-2-aldehydes and secondary amines derived from α-amino acid esters. Reactions were initiated by heating. The products consisted of four fused rings with three stereogenic centers. Their structure and stereochemistry were determined by NMR spectra and X-ray measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
