Synthesis of a dual-labeled probe of dimethyl lithospermate B with photochemical and fluorescent properties.

ABSTRACT: Dimethyl lithosermate B (DLB) is a highly potent natural antioxidant and antidiabetic polyphenol with unknown mode of action. To determine its cellular targets, a photochemical and fluorescent dimethyl lithopermate B probe was designed and efficiently synthesized. The dual-labeled chemical probe for biological application was evaluated by UV and fluorescence to determine its electrochemical absorption and emission properties. This probe could be valuable for investigating ligand-protein interactions and subcellular localization.

Synthesis and application of a <sup>19</sup>F-labeled fluorescent nucleoside as a dual-mode probe for i-motif DNAs.

Project description:Because of their stable orientations and their minimal interference with native DNA interactions and folding, emissive isomorphic nucleoside analogues are versatile tools for the accurate analysis of DNA structural heterogeneity. Here, we report on a bifunctional trifluoromethylphenylpyrrolocytidine derivative (FPdC) that displays an unprecedented quantum yield and highly sensitive 19F NMR signal. This is the first report of a cytosine-based dual-purpose probe for both fluorescence and 19F NMR spectroscopic DNA analysis. FPdC and FPdC-containing DNA were synthesized and characterized; our robust dual probe was successfully used to investigate the noncanonical DNA structure, i-motifs, through changes in fluorescence intensity and 19F chemical shift in response to i-motif formation. The utility of FPdC was exemplified through reversible fluorescence switching of an FPdC-containing i-motif oligonucleotide in the presence of Ag(i) and cysteine.

Dual-Function Fluorescent Probe for Detection of Hydrogen Sulfide and Water Content in Dimethyl Sulfoxide.

Project description:To detect hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and water content in dimethyl sulfoxide, the fluorescent probe (Probe 1) was used, as it not only detects H2S but also detects the water content. After H2S was added into Probe 1, the intensity of fluorescence increased and was up to 1300 times. In case the H2S concentration was in the range 0-20 μM, it was able to be detected by Probe 1, and the limit of detection was 0.851 nM. When Probe 1 and H2S underwent a reaction, the solution color had some changes. These colors changed in terms of the concentration changes of H2S, ranging from colorless to yellow. The Probe 1 test paper only needed to be exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas for 20 s for the color change to occur. Besides, Probe 1-H2S was used to detect water content in dimethyl sulfoxide which ranged from 0 to 100%. The color change of the solution was opposite to that of H2S, ranging from yellow to colorless.

Facile synthesis of dual-emission fluorescent carbon nanodots for a multifunctional probe.

Project description:In this study, we developed a facile method for synthesizing dual-emission carbon nanodots (CDs) through trimesic acid and o-phenylenediamine through electrolysis for 2 h. The synthesized CDs were mainly 3-7 nm in size, with an average size of 5.17 nm. The dual-emission fluorescent property of these CDs could be observed under two different excitation wavelengths. The green emission of the CDs could be quenched after the addition of mercury ions or copper ions, and the blue emission of the CDs could be inhibited using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Furthermore, the quenched fluorescence of CDs/Cu2+ could be recovered through the addition of glyphosate. We developed a multifunctional chemical sensor by using these special fluorescence materials. Under optimal conditions, the detection limits of mercury ions, glyphosate, and HCQ were 0.42 μM, 1.1 mg L-1, and 0.14 μM, respectively. Moreover, this method can be used to detect mercury ions, glyphosate, and HCQ in environmental water, cereals, and urine samples, respectively.

Novel Phototransformable Fluorescent Protein SAASoti with Unique Photochemical Properties.

Project description:SAASoti is a unique fluorescent protein (FP) that combines properties of green-to-red photoconversion and reversible photoswitching (in its green state), without any amino acid substitutions in the wild type gene. In the present work, we investigated its ability to photoswitch between fluorescent red ('on') and dark ('off') states. Surprisingly, generated by 400 nm exposure, the red form of SAASoti (R1) does not exhibit any reversible photoswitching behavior under 550 nm illumination, while a combination of prior 470 nm and subsequent 400 nm irradiation led to the appearance of another-R2-form that can be partially photoswitched (550 nm) to the dark state, with a very fast recovery time. The phenomenon might be explained by chemical modification in the chromophore microenvironment during prior 470 nm exposure, and the resulting R2 SAASoti differs chemically from the R1 form. The suggestion is supported by the mass spectrometry analysis of the tryptic peptides before and after 470 nm light exposure, that revealed Met164 oxidation, as proceeds in another dual phototransformable FP, IrisFP.

Synthesis of DNA and RNA Oligonucleotides Containing a Dual-Purpose Selenium-Modified Fluorescent Nucleoside Probe.

Project description:Development of efficient tools that would enable direct correlation of nucleic acid structure and recognition in solution and in solid state at atomic resolution is highly desired. In this context, we recently developed dual-purpose nucleoside probes made of a 5-selenophene-modified uracil core, which serves both as a conformation-sensitive fluorophore and as an X-ray crystallography phasing agent. In this article, we provide a detailed synthetic procedure to synthesize the phosphoramidites of 5-selenophene-modified 2'-deoxyuridine and 5-selenophene-modified uridine analogs. We also describe their site-specific incorporation into therapeutically relevant DNA and RNA oligonucleotide motifs by an automated solid support synthesis protocol. The dual-purpose and minimally invasive nature of the probes enables efficient analysis of the conformation and ligand binding abilities of bacterial decoding site RNA (A-site) and G-quadruplex structures of the human telomeric overhang in real time by fluorescence and in 3D by X-ray crystallography. © 2020 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Substituted Dibenzodiazocines: Rapid Synthesis and Photochemical Properties.

Project description:11,12-Dihydrodibenzo[c,g]-1,2-diazocines have been established as a viable alternative to azobenzene for photoswitching, in particular, as they show an inverted switching behavior: the ground state is the Z isomer. In this paper, we present an improved method to obtain dibenzodiazocine and its derivatives from the respective 2-nitrotoluenes in two reaction steps, each proceeding in minutes. This fast access to a variety of derivatives permitted the study of substitution effects on the synthesis and on the photochemical properties. With biochemical applications in mind, methanol was chosen as a protic solvent system for the photochemical investigations. In contrast to the azobenzene system, none of the tested substitution patterns resulted in more efficient switching or in significantly prolonged half-lives, showing that the system is dominated by the ring strain.

Asymmetric and Reduced Xanthene Fluorophores: Synthesis, Photochemical Properties, and Application to Activatable Fluorescent Probes for Detection of Nitroreductase.

Project description:Xanthene fluorophores, including fluorescein, rhodol, and rhodamines, are representative classes of fluorescent probes that have been applied in the detection and visualization of biomolecules. "Turn on" activatable fluorescent probes, that can be turned on in response to enzymatic reactions, have been developed and prepared to reduce the high background signal of "always-on" fluorescent probes. However, the development of activity-based fluorescent probes for biological applications, using simple xanthene dyes, is hampered by their inefficient synthetic methods and the difficulty of chemical modifications. We have, thus, developed a highly efficient, versatile synthetic route to developing chemically more stable reduced xanthene fluorophores, based on fluorescein, rhodol, and rhodamine via continuous Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling. Their fluorescent nature was evaluated by monitoring fluorescence with variation in the concentration, pH, and solvent. As an application to activatable fluorescent probe, nitroreductase (NTR)-responsive fluorescent probes were also developed using the reduced xanthene fluorophores, and their fluorogenic properties were evaluated.

Micro flow photochemical synthesis of Ca-sensitive fluorescent sensor particles.

Project description:Fluorescence probes have widely been used for detecting and imaging Ca2+-enriched parts of cells but more rarely for quantitative determination of concentrations. In this study we show how this can be achieved by a novel approach using hydrogel particles. In a microfluidic co-flow arrangement spherical droplets were generated from an aqueous solution of acrylamide, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide crosslinker and photoinitiator and subsequently photo-cured in situ yielding gel particles in a sub millimeter range. These particles were separated, dried under reduced pressure and re-swollen in water containing Rhod-5N tri potassium salt as calcium ion selective fluorescence probe. After that the particles were dried again and stored for further investigations. Upon exposure of dried particles to calcium chloride solutions they swell and take up Ca2+-ions forming a strong fluorescing complex with Rhod-5N. Thus, fluorescence intensity increases with calcium ion concentration. Up to ca. 0.50 mM the enhancement effect is strong and then becomes considerably weaker. The intensity-concentration-dependence is well described by an equation derived from the equilibrium of the formation of a 1:1 Ca2+:Rhod-5N complex. The particles allow for a fast optical determination of Ca2+-concentrations up to 0.50 mM in analyte volumes down to below 10 μL.

Structural Heterogeneity in a Phototransformable Fluorescent Protein Impacts its Photochemical Properties.

Project description:Photoconvertible fluorescent proteins (PCFP) are important cellular markers in advanced imaging modalities such as photoactivatable localization microscopy (PALM). However, their complex photophysical and photochemical behavior hampers applications such as quantitative and single-particle-tracking PALM. This work employs multidimensional NMR combined with ensemble fluorescence measurements to show that the popular mEos4b in its Green state populates two conformations (A and B), differing in side-chain protonation of the conserved residues E212 and H62, altering the hydrogen-bond network in the chromophore pocket. The interconversion (protonation/deprotonation) between these two states, which occurs on the minutes time scale in the dark, becomes strongly accelerated in the presence of UV light, leading to a population shift. This work shows that the reversible photoswitching and Green-to-Red photoconversion properties differ between the A and B states. The chromophore in the A-state photoswitches more efficiently and is proposed to be more prone to photoconversion, while the B-state shows a higher level of photobleaching. Altogether, this data highlights the central role of conformational heterogeneity in fluorescent protein photochemistry.
