Article Description

A fluorescent substrate 12-( N -methyl- N (7-nitro-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) aminododecanoyl sphingosyl β- D -galactoside (‘NBD galactocerebroside’) was synthesized and used for the detection of galactocerebrosidase activity. The enzyme determinations using this substrate were found to be extremely sensitive yielding unambiguous results. This substrate was used for the prenatal diagnosis of a fetus affected with Krabbe disease; the diagnosis was later confirmed in the aborted fetus.
