O-GlcNAcase (OGA) is implicated in several important biological and disease-relevant processes. Here, we synthesized fluorogenic probes for OGA by grafting GlcNAc directly or using a self-immolative linker to the hydroxyl position of 4-hydroxylisoindoline (BHID), a typical excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) probe. The probe was used for a fluorogenic assay to determine the half maximal inhibitory concentration of a known OGA inhibitor and differentiate between OGA and hexosaminidase when GlcNAc is replaced by GlcNPr, where a propionyl group is used instead of an acetyl group.
O-连接的N-乙酰葡糖胺酶（OGA）参与了多个重要的生物学过程以及与疾病相关的过程。在此，我们通过将N-乙酰葡糖胺直接连接或使用自毁型连接子连接到4-羟基异吲哚啉（BHID，一种典型的激发态分子内质子转移（ESIPT）探针）的羟基位置，合成了用于OGA的荧光探针。该探针用于荧光测定，以确定一种已知OGA抑制剂的半数最大抑制浓度，并在将N-乙酰葡糖胺替换为N-丙酰葡糖胺（其中使用丙酰基代替乙酰基）时区分OGA和己糖胺酶。
