Spermine-NBD as Fluorescent Probe for Studies of Polyamine Transport System in Leishmania Donovani
Keyword(s):
This study describes the synthesis of fluorescent probes as potential substrates for the polyamine transport system (PTS) of <i>Leishmania donovani</i>. A competitive radioassay was used to determine the most efficient probe. We observed that the conjugate spermine-nitrobenzofurazan (Spm-NBD) was able to compete with [<sup>3</sup>H]-spermidine in <i>L. donovani</i> at a relevant IC<sub>50</sub> of 60 µM. <p><br></p>
