Spectral Properties of Fluorogenic Thiophene-derived Triarylmethane Dyes.

ABSTRACT: Spectral properties and fluorogenic behaviors of five novel thiophene variants of malachite green (MG), termed MGTs, were determined. Appreciable changes as a function of homologation and substitution pattern, including absorption band positions and intensities and fluorescence quantum yields were observed. In particular, the shorter wavelength y-band absorption was found to shift over a nearly 200 nm range based on aryl group variation, allowing fine-tuning of the excitation wavelength for these dyes. In addition, the fluorescence intensity of some MGTs increased significantly (up to 4600-fold) when the dye was bound to a cognate protein partner, which is potentially useful for cell imaging studies.

Near-instant surface-selective fluorogenic protein quantification using sulfonated triarylmethane dyes and fluorogen activating proteins.

Project description:Agonist-promoted G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) endocytosis and recycling plays an important role in many signaling events in the cell. However, the approaches that allow fast and quantitative analysis of such processes still remain limited. Here we report an improved labeling approach based on the genetic fusion of a fluorogen activating protein (FAP) to a GPCR and binding of a sulfonated analog of the malachite green (MG) fluorogen to rapidly and selectively label cell surface receptors. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry demonstrate that this dye does not cross the plasma membrane, binds with high affinity to a dL5** FAP-GPCR fusion construct, activating tagged surface receptors within seconds of addition. The ability to rapidly and selectively label cell surface receptors with a fluorogenic genetically encoded tag allows quantitative imaging and analysis of highly dynamic processes like receptor endocytosis and recycling.

Synthesis and spectral properties of cholesterol- and FTY720-containing boron dipyrromethene dyes.

Project description:Two analogues (1, 2) of free cholesterol and one analogue (3) of the immunosuppressive sphingolipid FTY720 containing a boron dipyrromethene chromophore (BODIPY) were synthesized. The synthetic routes involved preparation of boron dipyrromethene moieties (5, 11), bearing a phenylethynyl group at different positions of the chromophore, and lipids (13, 20) bearing an azido group. The dye was tethered to the lipid via a 1,2,3-triazole in the linker by the click reaction. Analogues derived from 11 [in which an (E)-styrylethynyl moiety is bonded to C-5 of BODIPY] exhibited a marked red shift (approximately 70-80 nm) compared with those derived from 5 (in which a phenylethynyl moiety is bonded to C-8 of BODIPY).

One- and two-photon absorption properties of quadrupolar thiophene-based dyes with acceptors of varying strengths.

Project description:The one-photon (1P) and two-photon (2P) absorption properties of three quadrupolar dyes, featuring thiophene as a donor and acceptors of varying strengths, are determined by a combination of experimental and computational methods employing the density functional theory (DFT). The emission shifts in different solvents are well reproduced by time-dependent DFT calculations with the linear response and state specific approaches in the framework of the polarizable continuum model. The calculations show that the energies of both 1P- and 2P-active states decrease with an increase of the strength of the acceptor. The 2P absorption cross-sections predicted by the response theory are accounted for by considering just one intermediate state (S1) in the sum-over-states formulation. For the chromophore featuring the stronger acceptor, the energetic positions of the 1P- and 2P-active states prevent the exploitation of the theoretically predicted very high 2P activity due to the competing 1P absorption into the S1 state.

Fluorogenic Targeting of Voltage-Sensitive Dyes to Neurons.

Project description:We present a method to target voltage-sensitive fluorescent dyes to specified cells using an enzyme-catalyzed fluorogenic reaction on cell surfaces. The dye/enzyme hybrids are composed of a photoinduced electron transfer (PeT)-based fluorescent voltage indicator and a complementary enzyme expressed on the cell surface. Action of the exogenous enzyme on the dye results in fluorogenic activation of the dye, enabling fast voltage imaging in defined neurons with sensitivity surpassing those of purely genetically encoded approaches. We employ a bulky methylcyclopropylacetoxymethyl ether to diminish the fluorescence of a PeT-based voltage-sensitive dye, or VoltageFluor. The hydrolytically stable ether can be removed by the action of porcine liver esterase (PLE) to reveal the bright unmodified VoltageFluor. We established that the chemically modified VoltageFluor is a substrate for PLE in vitro and in live cells. When PLE is targeted to the external face of cell membranes, it controls the apparent staining of cells. The use of neuron-specific promoters can direct staining to mammalian neurons to provide clear detection of neuronal action potentials in single trials. All of the new VoltageFluors targeted by esterase expression (VF-EXs) report single spikes in cultured mammalian neurons. The best, VF-EX2, does so with a signal-to-noise ratio nearly double that of comparable genetically encoded voltage reporters. By targeting PLE to neurons, VF-EX2 can interrogate the neuromodulatory effects of serotonin in cultured hippocampal neurons. Taken together, our results show that a combination of synthetic chemistry and biochemistry enables bright and fast voltage imaging from genetically defined neurons in culture.

Experimental and computational investigation of unsymmetrical cyanine dyes: understanding torsionally responsive fluorogenic dyes.

Project description:Unsymmetrical cyanine dyes are widely used in biomolecular detection due to their fluorogenic behavior, whereby fluorescence quantum yields can be very low in fluid solution but are significantly enhanced in conformationally restricted environments. Herein we describe a series of fluorinated analogues of the dye thiazole orange that exhibit improved fluorescence quantum yields and photostabilities. In addition, computational studies on these dyes revealed that twisting about the monomethine bridge beyond an interplanar angle of 60 degrees leads to a dark state that decays nonradiatively to the ground state, accounting for the observed fluorogenic behavior. The effects of position and number of fluorine substituents correlate with both observed quantum yield and calculated activation energy for twisting beyond this critical angle.

Developing visible fluorogenic 'click-on' dyes for cellular imaging.

Project description:New fluorogenic dyes were designed and synthesized based on Cu(I)-catalyzed 'click' reaction. Conjugating weakly fluorescent benzothiazole derivatives with an electron-deficient alkyne group at the 2-position with azide-containing molecules in aqueous solution form 'click-on' fluorescent adducts. Model reactions and cell culture experiment indicated that the developed 'click-on' dye could be applied to labeling various biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and other molecules, in cells.

Solvatochromic and Single Crystal Studies of Two Neutral Triarylmethane Dyes with a Quinone Methide Structure.

Project description:The crystal structure of two neutral triarylmethane dyes with a p-quinone methide core was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The spectroscopic characteristics of both compounds in 23 solvents with different polarities or hydrogen-bonding donor (HBD) abilities has been studied as a function of three solvatochromic parameters (ET(30), ?* and ?). Both compounds 1 and 2 showed a pronounced bathochromic shift of the main absorption band on increasing solvent polarity and HBD ability. The correlation is better for compound 2 than for compound 1. The stronger effect and better correlation was observed for compound 2 with the increment of the solvent HBD ability (? parameter).

Synthesis and spectral properties of new fluorescent hydrazone disperse dyes and their dyeing application on polyester fabrics.

Project description:A new series of solid state fluorescent disperse dyes based on hybrid structure of pyrrolinone ester (PES)/coumarin moiety was prepared and fully characterized using spectroscopic analysis such as 1HNMR, MS and IR spectra. The coumarin derivative (7- amino-4- methyl coumarin) was initially prepared from amino phenol via multi steps condensation reactions and its diazonium salt coupled with the pyrrolinone ester to form the hydrazone dyes. 1HNMR data of the prepared dyes exhibited a pure hydrazone form as a mixture of E, Z isomers. These dyes showing a significant emission in solid state as well as on the dyed fabric. The dyeing application on polyester fabrics was investigated which showing that these dyes show high affinity to polyester fabric, and minor change in the dye affinity by changing pH even under alkaline conditions was observed.

Bovine serum albumin nanoparticles with fluorogenic near-IR-emitting squaraine dyes.

Project description:Two squaraine (SQ) dyes, N-propanesulfonate-benzothiazolium squaraine (SQ-1) and N-propanesulfonate-benzoindolium squaraine (SQ-2), were synthesized with sulfonate groups to increase water solubility. Both dyes are almost nonfluorescent in aqueous solution with fluorescent quantum yields of 0.03, but exhibited fluorescence enhancement after noncovalently binding with bovine serum albumin (BSA). Upon addition of BSA, the fluorescence intensity increased by ca. a factor of 10, along with a 10-fold extension in the fluorescence lifetime. SQ-1 and SQ-2 interacted with BSA efficiently and appeared to show a preference for binding at site II, which involves combinational effects of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The fluorogenic squaraine dyes were then used to label BSA, forming BSA-based nanoparticles (NPs) through noncovalent binding. The resulting BSA-SQ NPs exhibited enhanced near-IR fluorescence and reduced aggregation of the squaraine moiety. The BSA-SQ NPs were used for cell incubation and bioimaging studies. Confocal fluorescent images were obtained for HCT 116 cells incubated with the BSA-SQ NPs and LysoSensor Green, demonstrating the utility of the NP probes for intracellular imaging. This strategy ovecomes the generally low fluorescence emission of SQ dyes in water and aggregation-reduced fluorescence, providing a versatile strategy for sensing and imaging in biological environments.
