requires sensitive substrates. Fluorogenic glycosides typically offer the best sensitivity but
typically must be used in a stopped format to generate good signal. Use of fluorescent
phenols of pKa< 7, such as halogenated coumarins, allows direct screening at neutral pH.
The synthesis and characterisation of a set of nine different glycosides of 6-chloro-4-
methylumbelliferone are described. The use of these substrates in a pooled format for …
