Fluorescent ligands for G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are valuable tools for studying the expression, pharmacology and modulation of these therapeutically important proteins in living cells. Here we report a fluorescent photoaffinity probe for Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1), a critical component of the innate immune response to bacterial infection and a promising target in inflammatory diseases. We demonstrate that the probe binds and covalently crosslinks to FPR1 with good specificity at nanomolar concentrations in living cells and is a useful tool for visualisation and characterisation of this receptor.
