New fluorogenic substrates for monoamine oxidases
- Technology Benefits
- -- The technology highlights enzyme activity with greater sensitivity than other fluorogenic substrates because it emits at a range farther away from regions of autofluorescence.
- Technology Application
- -- The technology can be used for real-time monitoring of MAO activity (e.g., in neurotransmission) in intact neural tissue.-- The technology can be used for drug screening.
- Detailed Technology Description
- The technology is an efficient and selective fluorogenic reporter substrate for MAO-A and MAO-B. This substrate is based upon 6-aminocoumarin modified with an aminoethyl side chain. The technology relies upon a redox switch based on a sequence of oxi...
