(In the formula, A represents an amino acid residue or N-substituted amino acid residue, with A forming an amide bond with the adjacent NH in the formula; R1 represents a hydrogen atom or 1 to 4 same or different substituent groups that bond with a benzene ring; R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group, or a halogen atom; R8 and R9 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; and X represents a C1-C3 alkylene group.)
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of detecting activity of an enzyme that strictly recognizes a substrate, such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE). There is provided a method for detecting activity of an enzyme in a biological sample using a microdevice, the method including a step of bringing the biological sample into contact with a substrate analog or a natural substrate, and a compound represented by General Formula (I) below or a salt thereof, wherein the substrate analog or the natural substrate generates a compound A having a thiol group (R—SH), a selenol group (R—SeH), or a poly sulfur atom (R—(S)n-H) (R is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, and n is 1 to 5) by a reaction with the enzyme, and fluorescence is observed or measured, the fluorescence being emitted or enhanced from a fluorescent product generated by the reaction of the compound represented by General Formula (I) or the salt thereof with the thiol group, the selenol group, or the poly sulfur atom.
