ELECTROCHEMICAL SACCHARIDE SENSOR

摘要

The invention provides compounds 1/4/6 for detecting sacchharides by electrochemistry. The compounds have a structure that includes a first boronic acid group attached by a first linker group (B) to a first tertiary amine. The first tertiary amine is attached to a reporter group that includes an organometalic reporter moiety. A spacer group (R2) attaches the first tertiary amine to a second tertiary amine. The second tertiary amine is attached to an R group and a second linker group (B). The second linker group (B) is attached to a second boronic acid group. In preferred embodiments, the compound 1/4/6 selectively detects glucose and has a higher relative stability constant for glucose than for other saccharides.
