Popis: Three β-galactosidase-specific nitric-oxide-releasing diazeniumdiolate conjugated probes were prepared as a prelude to studies of new potential molecular MRI imaging agents. A glycosylated derivative, 2e, designed to be trafficked across cell membranes, was also prepared. We report, in detail, the synthesis and characterization of these probes. In addition, the release of diazeniumdiolate from the probes by β-galactosidase-catalyzed hydrolysis was used to estimate their efficacy as serum-stable, specific NO donors.
