Abstract excerpt
N-[7-Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl]psychosine sulfate (NBD-PS), a fluorescent analog of cerebroside sulfate (CS), was synthesized and tested as an alternative to the radiolabeled forms of CS used for assaying arylsulfatase A (ASA) in its physiological role as a cerebroside sulfate sulfohydrolase. NBD-PS simulates the natural substrate for ASA. Protocols have been developed for its use in differentiating low...
