Small molecule fluorometric boron dipyrromethene probes were developed to bind hepatitis C virus-encoded NS5A protein and aid subcellular distribution studies. These molecules did not co-locate with NS5A, therefore alternative 'silent' azide reporters were used to obtain a more relevant picture of their distribution. Following pre-incubation with replicon cells, click chemistry was used to append a fluorophore to the azide that confirmed the co-localisation of the small molecule with the NS5A protein, thus providing greater insight into the antiviral mode of action of this chemotype.

开发了小分子荧光硼二吡咯亚甲基探针,用于结合丙型肝炎病毒编码的NS5A蛋白并辅助亚细胞分布研究。这些分子并未与NS5A共定位,因此使用了替代性的“沉默”叠氮化物报告基团来更准确地了解它们的分布情况。在用复制子细胞进行预孵育后,利用点击化学将荧光团连接到叠氮化物上,证实了小分子与NS5A蛋白的共定位,从而更深入地了解了这种化学类型的抗病毒作用模式。
