Abstract
Phosphorescent platinum(II) coproporphyrin label (PtCP) is evaluated for the detection of cellular proteases by time-resolved fluorescence in homogeneous format. An octameric peptide containing the recognition motif for the caspase-3 enzyme was dual labeled with a new maleimide derivative of PtCP and with the dark quencher dabcyl. Following photophysical characterization, the quenched substrate was employed in cleavage assays for caspase-3 using Jurkat and HL60 cell lines treated with proapoptotic stimuli performed on a commercial plate reader. Dose-response and time course assays for the drug camptothecin were obtained for comparison with conventional fluorometric detection.
