BODIPY-labeled Soraphen A derivative 4 was synthesized and characterized as an acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) binder. Biophysical measurements indicate that the molecule binds in the biotin carboxylase domain where Soraphen A has been shown to bind. The fluorescent label of the BODIPY can be used to biophysically identify a compound that binds to the Soraphen A site of the biotin carboxylase domain versus the carboxytransferase domain of ACC.
