摘要:
A pseudo-esterase activity -based fluorescent probe for specific detection of albumin and its applications. This probe is based on human serum albumin's pseudo-esterase activity, that is to say, under the condition of physiological pH value, the carboxylic ester bond of the probe (λex = 342 nm, λem = 416 nm) could be selectively cleaved by human serum albumin (HSA) to release the 4-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore, while the dibenzoyl group covalently bound to the amino acid residues of HSA. The fluorescence emission spectrum of the product is significantly different from that of the substrate molecule (λex = 452 nm, λe m = 564 nm), and according to the fluorescence intensity of substrate and product we can detect the content of HSA in the system. This probe can be used for the determination of the absolute content of albumin in biological samples with the advantage of high accuracy, sensitivity, little influence from the environment and it is compatible with a variety of endogenous substances, exogenous drugs, and surfactant and so on.
