Abstract
Quenched activity-based probes (qABP) are invaluable tools to visualize aberrant protease activity. Unfortunately, most studies so far have only focused on cysteine proteases, and only a few studies describe the synthesis and use of serine protease qABPs. We recently used phosphinate ester electrophiles as a novel type of reactive group to construct ABPs for serine proteases. Here, we report on the construction of qABPs based on the phosphinate warhead, exemplified by probes for the neutrophil serine proteases. The most successful probes show sub-stoichiometric reaction with human neutrophil elastase, efficient fluorescence quenching, and rapid unquenching of fluorescence upon reaction with target proteases.
