Résumé

Analogues of apelin-13 carrying diverse spacers and an ad hoc DY647-derived fluorophore were designed and synthesized by chemoselective acylation of α-hydrazinopeptides. The resulting probes retain very high affinity and efficacy for both the wild-type and SNAP-tagged apelin receptor (ApelinR). They give a time-resolved FRET (TR-FRET) signal with rare-earth lanthanides used as donor fluorophores grafted onto the SNAP-tagged receptor. This specific signal allowed the validation of a binding assay with a high signal-to-noise ratio. In such an assay, the most potent sub-nanomolar fluorescent probe was found to be competitively displaced by the endogenous apelin peptides with binding constants similar to those obtained in a classical radioligand assay. We have thus validated the first TR-FRET cell-based binding assay for ApelinR with potential high-throughput screening applications.
