AI Technical Summary
Existing dipeptidyl peptidase-4 detection methods suffer from low accuracy, long detection time, and complex operation, making it difficult to achieve simple, rapid, and efficient quantitative detection.
A class of bioluminescent probes was designed and synthesized. By introducing glycine-L-proline groups specific to dipeptidyl peptidase 4 into D-luciferin-like substances, bioluminescence is generated under the action of luciferase, ATP and Mg2+, achieving highly sensitive detection of dipeptidyl peptidase 4.
It achieves highly selective and sensitive detection of dipeptidyl peptidase 4, and is suitable for labeling and imaging tumor cells such as prostate cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, malignant mesothelioma, and liver cancer, with specificity and high efficiency.
