Fluorescence Spectral Studies on the Interaction of Alanine and Valine with Resorcinol-Based Acridinedione Dyes in Aqueous Solution: A Comparative Study with Glycine.

ABSTRACT: Photophysical studies were carried out for simple amino acids like alanine and valine with resorcinol-based aqueous acridinedione (ADDR) dyes. ADDR dyes exhibit interesting excited-state characteristics on altering the substituents at the 9th and 10th sites (Scheme 1). The longest-wavelength absorption maxima remain the same on adding the amino acids to the fluorophore, whereas the excited-state behavior varies significantly mostly based on the nature of the substituent at the 9th position. The absence of fluorescence enhancement was observed with addition of ?-alanine, l-alanine, and l-valine to ADDR1 dye (photoinduced electron transfer, PET), whereas addition of glycine exhibits enhancement accompanied with a shift toward a longer-wavelength region. Interestingly, the addition of amino acids to non-PET dyes results in a fluorescence quenching accompanied with a larger shift toward the shorter-wavelength region. The properties of fluorophore and nonfluorophore dyes in the presence of alanine or valine are found to be entirely different from those of glycine. The interaction of alanine with ADDR dyes is predominantly through H-bonding, but the structural aspects of H-bonding interactions of alanine and water are completely different from those of glycine and water. The time-correlated single-photon counting method portrays the existence of fluorophore in two distinguishable microenvironments in the presence of amino acids. The fluorescence spectral technique used as a tool in elucidating the mode of interaction of dye with neutral amino acids in aqueous solution is illustrated in the present study.

Project description:UnlabelledBackgroundMany efforts have been recently devoted to design, investigate and synthesize biocompatible, biodegradable polymers for applications in medicine for either the fabrication of biodegradable devices or as drug delivery systems. Many of them consist of condensation of polymers having incorporated peptide linkages susceptible to enzymatic cleavage. Polyamides (PAs) containing α-amino acid residues such as L-leucine, L-alanine and L-phenylalanine have been reported as biodegradable materials. Furthermore, polyamides (PAs) derived from C10 and C14 dicarboxylic acids and amide-diamines derived from 1,6-hexanediamine or 1,12-dodecanediamine and L-phenylalanine, L-valyl-L-phenylalanine or L-phenylalanyl-L-valine residues have been reported as biocompatible polymers. We have previously described the synthesis and thermal properties of a new type of polyamides-containing amino acids based on eight new symmetric meta-oriented protected diamines derived from coupling of amino acids namely; Fomc-glycine, Fmoc-alanine, Fomc-valine and Fomc-leucine with m-phenylene diamine or 2,6-diaminopyridine. Results revealed that incorporation of pyridine onto the polymeric backbone of all series decreases the thermal stability.Here we describe another family of polyamides based on benzene dicarboxylic acid, pyridine dicarboxylic acid, and α-amino acid linked to benzidine and 4,4'-oxydianiline to study the effect of the dicarboxylic acid as well as the amino acids on the nature and thermal stability of the polymers.ResultsWe report here the preparation of a new type of polyamides based on benzene dicarboxylic acid, pyridine dicarboxylic acid, and α-amino acid linked to benzidine and 4,4'-oxydianiline to study the effect of the dicarboxylic acid as well as the amino acids on the nature and thermal stability of polymers. The thermal properties of the polymers were evaluated by different techniques. Results revealed that structure-thermal property correlation based on changing the dicarboxylic acid monomer or the diamine monomer demonstrated an interesting connection between a single change (changing the dicarboxylic acids in each series while the diamine is fixed) and thermal properties. The newly prepared polymers may possess biodegradability and thus may find some applications as novel biomaterials.ConclusionsThe thermal properties of the new type of polyamides based on benzene dicarboxylic acid, pyridine dicarboxylic acid, and α-amino acid (alanine and valine) linked to benzidine and 4,4'-oxydianiline were evaluated by thermal gravimetric (TG), differential thermal gravimetric (DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. Results revealed that the structure-thermal property correlation based on changing the dicarboxylic acid monomer or the diamine monomer demonstrated an interesting connection between a single change (changing the dicarboxylic acids in each series while the diamine is fixed) and thermal properties. In addition, pyridine-containing polymers exhibited semicrystalline characteristic with melting temperature, Tm. where none of the valine-containing polymers showed a melting and crystallization peak indicating that the polymers were amorphous. This is expected since L-valine side chain can inhibit close packing and eliminate crystallization. The newly prepared polymers may possess biodegradability and thus may find some applications as novel biomaterials.
