We report a novel fluorogenic substrate of bovine plasma amine oxidase (BPAO), namely,(2- (6-(aminomethyl) naphthalen-2-yloxy) ethyl) trimethylammonium (ANETA), which displays extremely tight binding to BPAO (K m 183±14 nM) and yet is metabolized fairly quickly (k cat 0.690±0.010 s− 1), with the aldehyde turnover product (2-(6-formylnaphthalen-2-yloxy) ethyl) trimethylammonium serving as a real time reporting fluorophore of the enzyme ...
