We report the first account of metabolically labelling N-acetylglucosamine, in conjunction with either N-acetylgalactosamine or N-acetylmannosamine using a combination of isonitrile- and azide-based chemistries. With the appropriately labelled fluorescent probe molecules, that react with either the azido or isonitrile groups, the method enabled co-visualisation of cancer cell glycoproteins.

Introduction: Diseases such as celiac disease, environmental enteric dysfunction, infectious gastroenteritis, type II diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease are associated with increased gut permeability. Dual sugar absorption tests, such as the lactulose to rhamnose ratio (L:R) test, are the current standard for measuring gut permeability. Although easy to administer in adults, the L:R test has a number of drawbacks.
