  • Fluorescent benzothiazole derivatives
    Patent number: 5424440
    Abstract: Novel benzothiazole derivatives having a fluorescence inhibiting group linked by an enzyme cleavable bond and methods for their synthesis are provided. Upon cleavage of the enzyme-cleavable bond, a strongly fluorescent reaction product is produced. These compounds may be used to detect enzymatic activity. The fluorescent reaction products are detectable at an attomolar level using a fluorometer.
