Targeted pH-dependent fluorescent activity-based cathepsin probes

Abstract

Bifunctional, pH-activatable BODIPY dyes were developed and incorporated in mannose cluster-containing activity-based probes for cysteine proteases. Mannose receptor-dependent uptake of the probes in dendritic cells, followed by trafficking to acidic cellular compartments resulted in fluorescence as seen by live-cell imaging, and subsequent cathepsin inhibition.
