Selective Sugar Recognition by Anthracene-Type Boronic Acid Fluorophore/Cyclodextrin Supramolecular Complex Under Physiological pH Condition.

ABSTRACT: We synthesized novel PET (photoinduced electron transfer)-type fluorescence glucose probe 1 [(4-(anthracen-2-yl-carbamoyl)-3-fluorophenyl)boronic acid], which has a phenylboronic acid (PBA) moiety as the recognition site and anthracene as the fluorescent part. Although the PBA derivatives dissociate and bind with sugar in the basic condition, our new fluorescent probe can recognize sugars in the physiological pH by introducing an electron-withdrawing fluorine group into the PBA moiety. As a result, the pK a value of this fluorescent probe was lowered and the probe was able to recognize sugars at the physiological pH of 7.4. The sensor was found to produce two types of fluorescent signals, monomer fluorescence and dimer fluorescence, by forming a supramolecular 2:1 complex of 1 with glucose inside a ?-cyclodextrin (?-CyD) cavity. Selective ratiometric sensing of glucose by the 1/?-CyD complex was achieved in water at physiological pH.

Project description:UnlabelledBackgroundRecently, various metallocenes were synthesized and analyzed by biological activity point of view (such as antiproliferative properties): ruthenocenes, cobaltoceniums, titanocenes, zirconocenes, vanadocenes, niobocenes, molibdocenes etc. Two main disadvantages of metallocenes are the poor hydrosolubility and the hydrolytic instability. These problems could be resolved in two ways: synthetically modifying the structure or finding new formulations with enhanced properties. The aqueous solubility of metallocenes with cytostatic activities could be enhanced by molecular encapsulation in cyclodextrins, as well as the hydrolytic instability of these compounds could be reduced.ResultsThis study presents a theoretical approach on the nanoencapsulation of a series of titanocenes with cytotoxic activity in α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrin. The HyperChem 5.11 package was used for building and molecular modelling of titanocene and cyclodextrin structures, as well as for titanocene/cyclodextrin complex optimization. For titanocene/cyclodextrin complex optimization experiments, the titanocene and cyclodextrin structures in minimal energy conformations were set up at various distances and positions between molecules (molecular mechanics functionality, MM+). The best interaction between titanocene structures and cyclodextrins was obtained in the case of β- and γ-cyclodextrin, having the hydrophobic moieties oriented to the secondary face of cyclodextrin. The hydrophobicity of titanocenes (logP) correlate with the titanocene-cyclodextrin interaction parameters, especially with the titanocene-cyclodextrin interaction energy; the compatible geometry and the interaction energy denote that the titanocene/β- and γ-cyclodextrin complex can be achieved. Valuable quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) were also obtained in the titanocene class by using the same logP as the main parameter for the in vitro cytotoxic activity against HeLa, K562, and Fem-x cell lines.ConclusionsAccording to our theoretical study, the titanocene/cyclodextrin inclusion compounds can be obtained (high interaction energy; the encapsulation is energetically favourable). Further, the most hydrophobic compounds are better encapsulated in β- and γ-cyclodextrin molecules and are more stable (from energetically point of view) in comparison with α-cyclodextrin case. This study suggests that the titanocene / β- and γ-cyclodextrin complexes (or synthetically modified cyclodextrins with higher water solubility) could be experimentally synthesized and could have enhanced cytotoxic activity and even lower toxicity.
