N(10)-Trifluoroacetylpteroic acid was conjugated to chemiluminescent N-sulfonylacridinium-9-carboxamide labels at the N(10) or 9-position carboxamide. Upon binding to folate binding protein the light output of the N(10) derivative (9) was quenched up to 62% upon triggering with basic peroxide, while the
