Fluorogenic phospholipid substrate to detect lysophospholipase D/autotaxin activity

Org Lett. 2006 May 11;8(10):2023-6. doi: 10.1021/ol060414i.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] Lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD), also known as autotaxin (ATX), is an important source of the potent mitogen lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Two fluorogenic substrate analogues for lysoPLD were synthesized in nine steps from (S)-PMB-glycerol. The substrates (FS-2 and FS-3) show significant increases in fluorescence when treated with recombinant ATX and have potential applications in screening for this emerging drug target.
