Substrati fluorogenici

2-Dodecylresorufin is a fluorescent probe that reacts with the hydroxyl radicals in the cell, which are generated by the enzyme superoxide dismutase. 2-Dodecylresorufin can be used to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ROS-induced cellular damage. It is also used to study oxidative stress in vitro. The chemical structure of 2-dodecylresorufin contains a linker arm that provides a reversible linkage to the cell surface, allowing for extracellular measurements of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This compound has been shown to have high reactivity, making it useful for studying population dynamics and fluorescent techniques.

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

Fluorogenic substrate used to differentiate cytochrome P450 monooxygenases

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.

6,8-Difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl b-D-glucopyranoside is a versatile fluorogenic substrate suitable for the measurement of various glycosidase enzymes. Its unique structure allows for enhanced sensitivity and selectivity in enzyme assays, making it ideal for studying enzyme kinetics and screening of potential enzyme inhibitors.

4-Methylumbelliferyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-trifluoroacetamido-b-D-glucopyranoside is a fluorogenic substrate specifically designed for the detection and quantification of hexosaminidase enzymes. Upon cleavage by the target enzyme, it generates a bright fluorescent signal facilitating the investigation of enzyme activity, screening of inhibitors, and diagnostics.
