An activity-based fluorogenic probe for sensitive and selective monoamine oxidase-B detection

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Jul 21;48(57):7164-6. doi: 10.1039/c2cc33089j. Epub 2012 Jun 12.

Abstract

We report the design and synthesis of a new class of fluorogenic probes based on monoamine oxidase-triggered oxidative C-O bond cleavage. The selectivity of probe P1 towards MAO-B was 22-fold higher than that towards MAO-A.
