TokyoGreen (TG) derivatives were found to be efficient and specific substrates of an important drug-metabolizing enzyme, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1. A rapid, specific, and sensitive assay of the enzyme was achieved simply by monitoring the change in fluorescence intensity. We also designed and developed the first “turn-on” fluorescent probes for UGTs.
东京绿(TokyoGreen, TG)衍生物被发现是重要的药物代谢酶——尿苷二磷酸葡萄糖醛酸转移酶(UDP-葡萄糖醛酸转移酶 UGT)1A1的高效且特异性底物。通过简单地监测荧光强度的变化,实现了对该酶的快速、特异且敏感的检测。我们还设计并开发了首批针对UGT的“开启型”荧光探针。
