Abstract: Provided is an enzyme-specific fluorescent compound capable of being retained in cells, which can emit fluorescence specifically in a target cell, particularly a cell capable of expressing a reporter enzyme such as ?-galactosidase, and can covalently bind to a protein in the cell to exhibit an excellent property of being retained in the cell. The fluorescent compound comprises a compound represented by formula (I?) or a salt thereof. In formula (I?), A, X, Y and R1 to R9 are as described in claim 1.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide the following: a novel fluorescent probe for detecting a compound, such as glutathione, that contains a —SH group; a detection method using said fluorescent probe; and a detection kit containing said probe.

Abstract: A fluorescent probe for detecting pancreatic fluid containing a compound or salt thereof represented by formula (I) below. (In the formula, A represents an amino acid residue or N-substituted amino acid residue, with A forming an amide bond with the adjacent NH in the formula; R1 represents a hydrogen atom or 1 to 4 same or different substituent groups that bond with a benzene ring; R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group, or a halogen atom; R8 and R9 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; and X represents a C1-C3 alkylene group).

Abstract: The present invention has an object of providing a novel drug inhibiting formation of leukocyte extracellular traps. The present invention provides a lactoferrin-containing inhibitor of formation of leukocyte extracellular traps, and a lactoferrin-containing composition for treating a disease associated with the formation of the leukocyte extracellular traps.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a fluorescent probe capable of rapidly detecting and imaging with high sensitivity the presence of leakage of pancreatic fluid during or after surgery, and to furthermore provide a detection method and detection kit that use the fluorescent probe. [Solution] A fluorescent probe for detecting pancreatic fluid containing a compound or salt thereof represented by formula (I) below. (In the formula, A represents an amino acid residue or N-substituted amino acid residue, with A forming an amide bond with the adjacent NH in the formula; R1 represents a hydrogen atom or 1 to 4 same or different substituent groups that bond with a benzene ring; R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group, or a halogen atom; R8 and R9 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; and X represents a C1-C3 alkylene group.

Abstract: A fluorescent probe which is represented by the following formula (I): (wherein, R1 represents a monovalent substituent other than hydrogen atom, carboxy group, or sulfo group; R2 represents hydrogen atom, or a monovalent substituent; R3 and R4 each independently represents hydrogen atom or a halogen atom; and R5 represents a monovalent group which is cleaved by contact with a measuring object, provided that a combination of R1 and R2 is selected so that the oxidation potential of the benzene ring to which they bind makes (1) the compound represented by the formula (I) substantially no fluorescent before the cleavage, and (2) a compound after the cleavage, which is derived from the compound represented by the formula (I), substantially highly fluorescent after the cleavage).
