Popis: Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) convert aldehydes into carboxylic acids and are often upregulated in cancer. They have been linked to therapy resistance and are therefore potential therapeutic targets. However, only a few selective and potent inhibitors are currently available for this group of enzymes. Competitive activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) would aid the development and validation of new selective inhibitors. Herein, a broad-spectrum activity-based probe that reports on several ALDHs is presented. This probe was used in a competitive ABPP protocol against three ALDH inhibitors in lung cancer cells to determine their selectivity profiles and establish their target engagement.
