Synthesis and Properties of Two PRODAN-based Fluorescent Models of Cholesterol.

ABSTRACT: The syntheses and photophysical properties of 1-(5-methylhexyl)-2,3,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-naphtho[2,1-e]indol-9(6H)-one (7a) and 1-(5-methylhexyl)-2,3,8,9-tetrahydro-1H-naphtho[2,1-e]indol-6(7H)-one (7b) are reported. They are prepared in eight steps from the corresponding bromonaphthylamines. These fluorescent compounds have PRODAN-like cores, and they are structurally similar to cholesterol. Compound 7a is the first reported PRODAN derivative where both the amino and carbonyl groups are constrained to be coplanar with the naphthalene core. Comparing the photophysical behavior of these compounds with related compounds indicates that locking the amino group in a five-membered ring enhances their desirable properties as solvent polarity sensors.

Synthesis and Fluorescent Properties of Novel Isoquinoline Derivatives.

Project description:Isoquinoline derivatives have attracted great interest for their wide biological and fluorescent properties. In the current study, we focused on the synthesis of a series of novel isoquinoline derivatives substituted at position 3 of the heteroaromatic ring. Compounds were obtained in a Goldberg-Ullmann-type coupling reaction with appropriate amides in the presence of copper(I) iodide, N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (DMEDA), and potassium carbonate. The structures of novel isoquinolines were confirmed by IR, NMR, and elemental analysis, as well as X-ray crystallography. In the course of our research work, the visible fluorescence of this class of compounds was observed. The above findings prompted us to investigate the optical properties of the selected compounds.

Novel Fluorescent Azacyanine Compounds: Improved Synthesis and Optical Properties.

Project description:Benzothiazoles are known to possess a number of biological activities and therefore are considered to be an important scaffold in the design and synthesis of pharmacophores. In this study, an improved synthesis method for novel fluorescent benzothiazole-based cyclic azacyanine (CAC) dyes bearing different electron-donating/withdrawing groups on their scaffold is presented. The improved method enabled us to increase the synthesis yield for the previously reported CACs. More importantly, it allowed us to synthesize new CAC dyes that were not synthesizable with the previously reported method. The synthesized dyes were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and mass spectrometry and their optical (absorption and fluorescence) properties were investigated. All of the synthesized CACs were found to be displaying strong absorption within the range of 387-407 nm. The spectral shifts observed in the absorption and fluorescence measurements suggested that the spectroscopic and optical properties of CACs can be directly modulated by the nature of the electron-donating/withdrawing substituents. The fluorescence quantum yields (QYs) of the unsubstituted (parent CAC) and substituted CACs were also measured and compared. The fluorescence QY of CACs with electron-donating substituents (methoxy or ethoxy) was found to be at least four times higher than that of the parent CAC with no substitutions.

Bio-Derived Fluorescent Carbon Dots: Synthesis, Properties and Applications.

Project description:The transformation of biowaste into products with added value offers a lucrative role in nation-building. The current work describes the synthesis of highly water-soluble, luminous carbon quantum dots (CQDs) in the size range of 5-10 nm from discarded rice straw. The small spherical CQDs that were formed had outstanding optical and luminescent qualities as well as good photostabilities. By performing quantitative multi-assay tests that included antioxidant activities, in vitro stability and colloidal assay investigations as a function of different CQD concentrations, the biocompatibility of CQDs was evaluated. To clearly visualize the type of surface defects and emissive states in produced CQDs, excitation-dependent fluorescence emission experiments have also been carried out. The "waste-to-wealth" strategy that has been devised is a successful step toward the quick and accurate detection of Cu2+ ion in aqueous conditions. The fluorescence-quenching behavior has specified the concentration dependency of the developed sensor in the range of 50 μM to 10 nM, with detection limit value of 0.31 nM. The main advantage of the current research is that it offers a more environmentally friendly, economically viable and scaled-up synthesis of toxicologically screened CQDs for the quick fluorescence detection of Cu2+ ions and opens up new possibilities in wastewater management.

Design, synthesis and photochemical properties of the first examples of iminosugar clusters based on fluorescent cores.

Project description:The synthesis and photophysical properties of the first examples of iminosugar clusters based on a BODIPY or a pyrene core are reported. The tri- and tetravalent systems designed as molecular probes and synthesized by way of Cu(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloadditions are fluorescent analogues of potent pharmacological chaperones/correctors recently reported in the field of Gaucher disease and cystic fibrosis, two rare genetic diseases caused by protein misfolding.

A Novel BODIPY Quaternary Ammonium Salt-Based Fluorescent Probe: Synthesis, Physical Properties, and Live-Cell Imaging.

Project description:The development of biological fluorescent probes is of great significance to the field of cancer bio-imaging. However, most current probes within the bulky hydrophobic group have limited application in aqueous medium and restricted imaging under physiological conditions. Herein, we proposed two efficient molecules to study their physical properties and imaging work, and the absorption and fluorescence intensity were collected with varying ions attending in aqueous medium. We enhance the water solubility through the quaternization reaction and form a balance between hydrophilic and hydrophobicity with dipyrrome-theneboron difluoride (BODIPY) fluorophore. We introduced pyridine and dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) by quaternization and connected the BODIPY fluorophore by ethylenediamine. The final synthesized probes have achieved ideal affinity with HeLa cells (human cervical carcinoma cell line) in live-cell imaging which could be observed by Confocal Microscope. The probes also have a good affinity with subcutaneous tumor cells in mice in in vivo imaging, which may make them candidates as oncology imaging probes.

Two 8-Hydroxyquinolinate Based Supramolecular Coordination Compounds: Synthesis, Structures and Spectral Properties.

Project description:Two new Cr(III) complexes based on 2-substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline ligands, namely [Cr(L₁)₃] (1), (HL₁=(E)-2-[2-(4-nitro-phenyl)-vinyl]-8-hydroxy-quinoline) and [Cr(L₂)₃] (2), (HL₂=(E)-2-[2-(4-chloro-phenyl)vinyl]-8-hydroxy-quinoline), were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method and characterized thoroughly by single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR, TGA, ESI-MS, UV-Visible absorption spectra and fluorescence emission spectra. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the two compounds featured 3D supramolecular architectures constructed from noncovalent interactions, such as π···π stacking, C-H···π, C-H···O, C-Cl···π, C-H···Cl interactions. The thermogravimetric analysis and ESI-MS study of compounds 1 and 2 suggested that the Cr(III) complexes possessed good stability both in solid and solution. In addition, the ultraviolet and fluorescence response of the HL₁ and HL₂ shown marked changes upon their complexation with Cr(III) ion, which indicated that the two 8-hydroxyquinolinate based ligand are promising heavy metal chelating agent for Cr3+.

A rhodamine-based fluorescent sensor for selective detection of Cu2+ in aqueous media: synthesis and spectroscopic properties.

Project description:Two new chemosensors, rhodamine B derivative bearing 3-formyl-6-nitrochromone (L 1 ) and 3-formyl-6-methylchromone (L 2 ) units were designed and synthesized using microwave irradiation for the selective detection of Cu2+ in aqueous media. Copper triggers the formation of highly fluorescent ring-open spirolactam. The fluorescence intensity was remarkably increased upon the addition of Cu2+ within a minute, while the other metal ions caused no significant effect. More importantly, the resulting complexes can be used as a reversible fluorescence sensor for CN-. The recognition ability of the sensors was investigated by fluorescence titration, Job's plot, 1H NMR spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Fluorescent hexaaryl- and hexa-heteroaryl[3]radialenes: Synthesis, structures, and properties.

Project description:The syntheses of three new [3]radialenes - hexakis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)-, hexakis(3-cyanophenyl)-, and hexakis(3,4-dicyanophenyl)[3]radialene (1-3) - are reported. Compound 3 is obtained in five steps with an excellent yield of 76% in the key step. Compared to that, the respective steps of the syntheses of 1 and 2 result in lower yields. All compounds adopt a double bladed propeller conformation in solution. Compound 3 is considerably more electron deficient than previously reported hexaaryl[3]radialenes, with reduction potentials of -0.06 and -0.45 V in CH(2)Cl(2). The compounds mostly display red fluorescence with large Stokes shifts.

Synthesis, Optical Properties, and Antiproliferative Evaluation of NBD-Triterpene Fluorescent Probes.

Project description:A fluorescent labeling protocol for hydroxylated natural compounds with promising antitumor properties has been used to synthesize, in yields of 72-86%, 12 derivatives having fluorescent properties and biological activity. The reagent used for the synthesis of these fluorescent derivatives was 7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole chloride (NBD-Cl). The linkers employed to bind the NBD-Cl reagent to the natural compounds were ω-amino acids (Aa) of different chain lengths. The natural triterpene compounds chosen were oleanolic and maslinic acid, as their corresponding 28-benzylated derivatives. Thus, 12 NBD-Aa-triterpene conjugates have been studied for their optical fluorescence properties and their biological activities against cell proliferation in three cancer cell lines (B16-F10, HT-29, and HepG2), compared with three nontumor cell lines (HPF, IEC-18, and WRL68) from different tissues. The results of the fluorescence study have shown that the best fluorescent labels are those in which the ω-amino acid chain is shorter, and the carboxylic group is not benzylated. Analysis by confocal microscopy showed that these compounds were rapidly incorporated into cells in all three cancer cell lines, with these same derivatives showing the highest toxicity against the cancer cell lines tested. Then, the fluorescent labeling of these NBD-Aa-triterpene conjugates enabled their uptake and subcellular distribution to be followed in order to probe in detail their biological properties at the cellular and molecular level.
