Small Molecule Colorimetric Probes for Specific Detection of Human Arylamine N-Acetyltransferase 1, a Potential Breast Cancer Biomarker
摘要:
The identification, synthesis, and evaluation of a series of naphthoquinone derivatives as selective inhibitors of human arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 and mouse arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 are described. The compounds undergo a distinctive color change (red -> blue) upon binding to these human and mouse NAT isoenzymes driven by a proton transfer event. No color change is observed in the presence of functionally distinct but highly similar isoenzymes which are >70% identical. These molecules may be used as sensors to detect the presence of human NAT1 in cell lysates.
