Synthesis, structure, and EPR characterization of deuterated derivatives of Finland trityl radical.

ABSTRACT: Substituted trityl radicals are important spin probes for functional electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging including oxygen and pH mapping in vivo. Here we report the synthetic procedure for large scale synthesis of deuterated Finland trityl radical with superior EPR spectral properties and higher sensitivity towards oxygen concentrations in solution. Additionally Finland trityl radicals substituted with linkers suitable for attaching peptide, or other synthetic precursors have been synthesized. The effect of deutero-substitution on EPR spectra of homologous derivatives has been evaluated. The compounds are potential candidates for targeted spin probes in EPR imaging.

Characterization of the Binding of the Finland Trityl Radical with Bovine Serum Albumin.

Project description:Understanding the interactions of trityl radicals with proteins is required to expand their biomedical applications. In this work, we demonstrate that the Finland trityl radical CT-03 binds to bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution. Upon binding with BSA, CT-03 exhibits a much broader electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal and this line broadening can be reversed by proteolysis of the BSA. The binding induces a red-shift of the maximal UV-Vis absorbance wavelength of CT-03 around 470 nm, likely due to localization of CT-03 in the relatively hydrophobic region of the protein. The interaction between CT-03 and BSA is driven by a hydrophobic interaction with an estimated binding constant of 2.18 ×105 M-1 at 298 K. Furthermore, only one CT-03 is bound to each molecule of BSA and the binding site is determined to be the sub-domain IIA (Sudlow's site I). This protein binding of the trityl probe to albumin can be used to study the structure and function of albumin and also must be considered for its use as an in vivo imaging agent or spin label.

Large-scale synthesis of a persistent trityl radical for use in biomedical EPR applications and imaging.

Project description:Tetrathiatriarylmethyl radicals are ideal spin probes for biological electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and imaging. The wide application of trityl radicals as biosensors of oxygen or other biological radicals was hampered by the lack of affordable large-scale syntheses. We report the large-scale synthesis of the Finland trityl radical using an improved addition protocol of the aryl lithium monomer to methylchloroformate. A new reaction for the formal one-electron reduction of trityl alcohols to trityl radicals using neat trifluoroacetic acid is reported as well. Initial applications show that the compound is very sensitive to molecular oxygen. It has already provided high-resolution EPR images on large aqueous samples and should be suitable for a broad range of in vivo applications.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of a Highly Hydrophilic Triarylmethyl Radical for Biomedical EPR.

Project description:Stable tetrathiatriarylmethyl radicals have significantly contributed to the recent progress in biomedical electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) due to their unmatched stability in biological media and long relaxation times. However, the lipophilic core of the most commonly used structure (Finland trityl) is responsible for its interaction with plasma biomacromolecules, such as albumin, and self-aggregation at high concentrations and/or low pH. While Finland trityl is generally considered inert toward many reactive radical species, we report that sulfite anion radical efficiently substitutes the three carboxyl moieties of Finland trityl with a high rate constant of 3.53 × 108 M-1 s-1, leading to a trisulfonated Finland trityl radical. This newly synthesized highly hydrophilic trityl radical shows an ultranarrow linewidth (ΔBpp = 24 mG), a lower affinity for albumin than Finland trityl, and a high aqueous solubility even at acidic pH. Therefore, this new tetrathiatriarylmethyl radical can be considered as a superior spin probe in comparison to the widely used Finland trityl. One of its potential applications was demonstrated by in vivo mapping oxygen in a mouse model of breast cancer. Moreover, we showed that one of the three sulfo groups can be easily substituted with S-, N-, and P-nucleophiles, opening access to various monofunctionalized sulfonated trityl radicals.

EPR distance measurements in deuterated proteins.

Project description:One of the major problems facing distance determination by pulsed EPR, on spin-labeled proteins, has been the short relaxation time T(m). Solvent deuteration has previously been used to slow relaxation and so extend the range of distance measurement and sensitivity. We demonstrate here that deuteration of the underlying protein, as well as the solvent, extends the T(m) to a considerable degree. Longer T(m) gives greatly enhanced sensitivity, much extended distance measurement, more reliable distance distribution calculation and better baseline correction.

Synthesis of trityl radical-conjugated disulfide biradicals for measurement of thiol concentration.

Project description:Measurement of thiol concentrations is of great importance for characterizing their critical role in normal metabolism and disease. Low-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and imaging, coupled with the use of exogenous paramagnetic probes, have been indispensable techniques for the in vivo measurement of various physiological parameters owing to the specificity, noninvasiveness and good depth of magnetic field penetration in animal tissues. However, in vivo detection of thiol levels by EPR spectroscopy and imaging is limited due to the need for improved probes. We report the first synthesis of trityl radical-conjugated disulfide biradicals (TSSN and TSST) as paramagnetic thiol probes. The use of trityl radicals in the construction of these biradicals greatly facilitates thiol measurement by EPR spectroscopy since trityls have extraordinary stability in living tissues with a single narrow EPR line that enables high sensitivity and resolution for in vivo EPR spectroscopy and imaging. Both biradicals exhibit broad characteristic EPR spectra at room temperature because of their intramolecular spin-spin interaction. Reaction of these biradicals with thiol compounds such as glutathione (GSH) and cysteine results in the formation of trityl monoradicals which exhibit high spectral sensitivity to oxygen. The moderately slow reaction between the biradicals and GSH (k(2) ? 0.3 M(-1) s(-1) for TSSN and 0.2 M(-1) s(-1) for TSST) allows for in vivo measurement of GSH concentration without altering the redox environment in biological systems. The GSH concentration in rat liver was determined to be 3.49 ± 0.14 mM by TSSN and 3.67 ± 0.24 mM by TSST, consistent with the value (3.71 ± 0.09 mM) determined by the Ellman's reagent. Thus, these trityl-based thiol probes exhibit unique properties enabling measurement of thiols in biological systems and should be of great value for monitoring redox metabolism.

Site Selective and Efficient Spin Labeling of Proteins with a Maleimide-Functionalized Trityl Radical for Pulsed Dipolar EPR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Pulsed dipolar electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (PDS) in combination with site-directed spin labeling (SDSL) of proteins and oligonucleotides is a powerful tool in structural biology. Instead of using the commonly employed gem-dimethyl-nitroxide labels, triarylmethyl (trityl) spin labels enable such studies at room temperature, within the cells and with single-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments. However, it has been repeatedly reported that labeling of proteins with trityl radicals led to low labeling efficiencies, unspecific labeling and label aggregation. Therefore, this work introduces the synthesis and characterization of a maleimide-functionalized trityl spin label and its corresponding labeling protocol for cysteine residues in proteins. The label is highly cysteine-selective, provides high labeling efficiencies and outperforms the previously employed methanethiosulfonate-functionalized trityl label. Finally, the new label is successfully tested in PDS measurements on a set of doubly labeled Yersinia outer protein O (YopO) mutants.

Trityl-based EPR probe with enhanced sensitivity to oxygen.

Project description:An asymmetric derivative of the triarylmethyl radical, TAM-H, containing one aldehyde and two carboxyl groups, was synthesized. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum of TAM-H is characterized by a doublet of narrow lines with a linewidth of 105 mG under anoxic conditions and hyperfine interaction constant of 245 mG. The partial overlap of the components of the doublet results in enhanced sensitivity of the spectral amplitudes ratio to oxygen compared with oxygen-induced linewidth broadening of a single line. Application of the TAM-H probe allows for EPR measurements in an extended range of oxygen pressures from atmospheric to 1 mm Hg, whereas the EPR spectrum linewidth of the popular TAM-based oxygen sensor Oxo63 is practically insensitive to oxygen partial pressures below 20 mm Hg. Enhanced sensitivity of the TAM-H probe relative to Oxo63 was demonstrated in the detection of oxygen consumption by Met-1 cancer cells. The TAM-H probe allowed prolonged measurements of oxygen depletion during the hypoxia stage and down to true anoxia (<or=1.5 mm Hg).

Synthesis of Enantioenriched α-Deuterated α-Amino Acids Enabled by an Organophotocatalytic Radical Approach.

Project description:A mild, versatile organophotoredox protocol has been developed for the preparation of diverse, enantioenriched α-deuterated α-amino acids. Distinct from the well-established two-electron transformations, this radical-based strategy offers the unrivaled capacity of the convergent unification of readily accessible feedstock carboxylic acids and a chiral methyleneoxazolidinone fragment and the simultaneous highly diastereo-, chemo-, and regioselective incorporation of deuterium. Furthermore, the approach has addressed the long-standing challenge of the installation of sterically demanding side chains into α-amino acids.

Synthesis of Deuterated Benzopyran Derivatives as Selective COX-2 Inhibitors with Improved Pharmacokinetic Properties.

Project description:We designed a series of specifically deuterated benzopyran analogues as new COX-2 inhibitors with the aim of improving their pharmacokinetic properties. As expected, the deuterated compounds retained potency and selectivity for COX-2. The new molecules possess improved pharmacokinetic profiles in rats compared to their nondeuterated congeners. Most importantly, the new compounds showed pharmacodynamic efficacy in several murine models of inflammation and pain. The benzopyran derivatives were separated into their enantiomers, and the activity was found to reside with the S-isomers. To streamline the synthesis of the desired S-isomers, an organocatalytic asymmetric domino oxa-Michael/aldol condensation reaction was developed for their preparation.

Fourier transform EPR spectroscopy of trityl radicals for multifunctional assessment of chemical microenvironment.

Project description:Pulse techniques in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) allow for a reduction in measurement times and increase in sensitivity but require the synthesis of paramagnetic probes with long relaxation times. Here it is shown that the recently synthesized phosphonated trityl radical possesses long relaxation times that are sensitive to probe the microenvironment, such as oxygenation and acidity of an aqueous solution. In principle, application of Fourier transform EPR (FT-EPR) spectroscopy makes it possible to acquire the entire EPR spectrum of the trityl probe and assess these microenvironmental parameters within a few microseconds. The performed analysis of the FT-EPR spectra takes into consideration oxygen-, proton-, buffer-, and concentration-induced contributions to the spectral shape, therefore enabling quantitative and discriminative assessment of pH, pO2, and concentrations of the probe and inorganic phosphate.
