1,4-Benzenediboronic acid bis(pinacol) ester is a compound with semiconducting properties. It is used in the preparation of protease inhibitors that can be used to treat conditions such as pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis. 1,4-Benzenediboronic acid bis(pinacol) ester has been shown to inhibit trypsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins in the digestive system. This compound also has a fluorescent property that can be monitored using real-time fluorescence. The fluorescence of 1,4-benzenediboronic acid bis(pinacol) ester decreases when it binds to proteins and it can be used as a way to measure protease activity. 1,4-Benzenediboronic acid bis(pinacol) ester dissociates from proteins at pH values below 7 and transfer measurements are best done at pH 7 or higher.
