Abstract

D-(-)-2-(6′-Hydroxy-7′-[123I]iodobenzothiazolyl)- Δ2-thiazoline-4-caroxylic acid (7′-[123I]iodo- D-luciferin) was synthesized as a novel reporter probe for in vivo studies of firefly luciferase gene expression. 7′-Iodo-D-luciferin, a nonradioactive standard, was synthesized and showed the binding property (KM=4.28 μM) similar to that of D-luciferin (2.53 μM) for firefly luciferase in luminescence assay.
