Abstract
Alkyne-hinged 3-fluorosialyl fluoride (DFSA) containing an alkyne group was shown to be a mechanism-based target-specific irreversible inhibitor of sialidases. The ester-protected analog DFSA (PDFSA) is a membrane-permeable precursor of DFSA designed to be used in living cells, and it was shown to form covalent adducts with virus, bacteria, and human sialidases. The fluorosialyl-enzyme adduct can be ligated with an azide-annexed biotin via click reaction and detected by the streptavidin-specific reporting signals. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry analysis on the tryptic peptide fragments indicates that the 3-fluorosialyl moiety modifies tyrosine residues of the sialidases. DFSA was used to demonstrate influenza infection and the diagnosis of the viral susceptibility to the anti-influenza drug oseltamivir acid, whereas PDFSA was used for in situ imaging of the changes of sialidase activity in live cells.
