Synthesis of fluorescent-labeled aeruginosin derivatives for high-throughput fluorescence correlation spectroscopy assays

The design and solid-phase synthesis of effective fluorescent-labeled aeruginosin derivatives and their application to the fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS)-based competitive binding assay of an aeruginosin library are described. The phenolic hydroxyl group on the (R)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)lactic acid (d-Hpla) residue was observed to be suitable for connecting Rhodamine green derivative with minimum loss of biological activity. In addition, the FCS-based binding assay of the library using fluorescent-labeled chemical probes was also achieved.
