Application

Umbelliferyl Arachidonate also known as 7-Hydroxycoumarinyl Arachidonate was used as a fluorogenic substrate for developing a fluorescence-based assay to evaluate the inhibitors against human recombinant monoacylglycerol lipase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) protein facilitates the hydrolysis of Umbelliferyl Arachidonate and generates arachidonic acid and the highly fluorescent 7-hydroxyl coumarin (7-HC). Hence, it acts as a marker in a fluorescence-based assay.

Preparation Note

Umbelliferyl Arachidonate can be dissolved in DMSO at 25 mg/ml and in DMF at 50 mg/ml. The product is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers.

A fluorescent assay for the evaluation of inhibitors of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is described. 1,3-Dihydroxypropan-2-yl 4-pyren-1-ylbutanoate was designed and synthesized as novel fluorogenic substrate. Activity of human recombinant MAGL was determined in the presence of the surfactant Triton X-100 without

A novel fluorescence-based assay of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) activity that is simple, sensitive, and amenable to the screening of small molecule inhibitors is described. Purified recombinant human MAGL protein and 7-hydroxycoumarinyl-arachidonate (7-HCA), a fluorogenic substrate for MAGL, were employed in

The membrane topology of the human Na+/glucose cotransporter SGLT1 has been probed using N-glycosylation scanning mutants and nested truncations. Functional analysis proved essential for establishment of signal-anchor topology. The resultant model diverges significantly from previously held suppositions of structure based
