Fluorescein-based amino acids for solid phase synthesis of fluorogenic protease substrates

Add time:07/26/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

An efficient synthesis of new type fluorescent amino acids is described. The Fmoc-protected dyes can be prepared in a four-step procedure with ∼30% overall yield from aminofluoresceins and other inexpensive commercially available precursors. The dyes are much more photostable compared to fluorescein and exhibit constant pH-independent fluorescence that is advantageous in biological applications. The Fmoc-protected fluorescent amino acids are ready for use in solid phase peptide synthesis. As a proof of concept, a fluorogenic papain substrate was synthesized and employed for on-bead detection of the protease activity. By using a novel technique for quantitative analysis of bead fluorescence, a ∼2.7-fold increase in mean bead brightness was measured and was attributed to substrate cleavage by papain. The new type fluorescent amino acids seem to be a promising tool for the synthesis of fluorescent peptide ligands and fluorogenic protease substrates.
