Fluorogenic substrate targeting caspases 3 and 7

Caspase substrates are a class of pharmacological agents that regulate apoptosis. Caspases are proteases that cleave specific proteins in the cell, leading to apoptosis. Pro-apoptotic proteins activate caspases, while anti-apoptotic proteins inhibit them. Caspase substrates can be either pro-caspase or anti-caspase, depending on the desired effect. They may also be used to regulate caspases without affecting their activity. The caspase substrate is cleaved by caspases and releases a polypeptide fragment that triggers apoptosis in some cells, but not others. For example, the Hl-60 cell line is resistant to the pro-apoptotic effects of the substrate because it contains an anti-apoptotic protein called Bcl-2. In contrast, myocardial cells contain pro-apoptotic proteins and are sensitive to the pro-apoptotic effects of the substrate. In

4-Methylumbelliferyl 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-b-D-galactopyranoside is a fluorogenic substrate that is used in the detection of β-galactosidase activity. This product is a white to off white powder that has a purity of 99.2%. It has been given CAS number 53654–95–1 and it can be found in the Diagnostics section of Acros Organics.

This Clips-O substrate 7-(4'-L-Alaninamido)-rac-(3'-octanoyloxy)butyloxy) coumarin allows the detection of three enzymatic activities (L-alanine aminopeptidase, C8-esterase and oxidation of 4-amino-3-hydroxybutyloxy either enzymatically or by exposure to sodium periodate) with one single substrate and give a positive fluorescent signal only in presence of all activities. The main virtues of Clips-O substrates are an increased stability towards non-enzymatic hydrolysis that results in a reduced background and high sensitivity.

4-Methylumbelliferyl 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-a-D-glucopyranoside is a chromogenic substrate for enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds. It can be used in diagnostic tests to identify antibodies against certain bacteria and fungi. The fluorogenic form of 4-methylumbelliferyl 2-acetamido-3,4,6-triO acetyl -2 deoxy a D glucopyranoside can be used as a chemiluminescent substrate for detecting bacterial activity. 4 methylumbelliferyl 2 acetamido 3,4,6 triO acetyl -2 deoxy a D glucopyranoside is also useful in bioluminescent assays to detect ATP production in bacteria and other microorganisms. CAS No: 1174287–76–3

3-Carboxyumbelliferyl b-D-galactopyranoside is a fluorescent probe that can be used to study protein synthesis in live cells. It binds to the active site of the enzyme peptidyl transferase, which catalyzes the covalent linkage of amino acids to form a polypeptide chain. 3CMBG is specific for the amino acid proline and is a substrate for peptidyl transferase. The fluorescence of 3CMBG increases when it is bound to peptidyl transferase, making it useful as a marker for protein synthesis.
