Permeant fluorescent probes visualize the activation of SARM1 and uncover an anti-neurodegenerative drug candidate

SARM1 regulates axonal degeneration through its NAD-metabolizing activity and is a drug target for neurodegenerative disorders. We designed and synthesized fluorescent conjugates of styryl derivative with pyridine to serve as substrates of SARM1, which exhibited large red shifts after conversion. Wi...
