Abstract
We report a chemiluminescent probe (CLPT1) that permits the paired detection of tyrosinase (Tyr) and biological thiols. Tyr only leads to a poor chemiluminescence response, a finding ascribed to the formation of a stableo-benzoquinone intermediate. The addition of glutathione (GSH), or ascorbate to theo-benzoquinone intermediate results in thiol conjugation or reduction to this intermediate, respectively. This produces a strong chemiluminescence response. Thiol co-dependence was demonstrated in live cells using the cell permeable analogue,CLPT3. The present chemiluminescence-based strategy allows the concurrent detection of tyrosinase activity and biological thiols.
