Development of Rhodamine 6G-Based Fluorescent Chemosensors for Al3+-Ion Detection: Effect of Ring Strain and Substituent in Enhancing Its Sensing Performance.

ABSTRACT: Four rhodamine 6G-based chemosensors (H 3 L1-H 3 L4) are designed for selective detection of Al3+ ion. They are characterized using various spectroscopic techniques and X-ray crystallography. All absorption and emission spectral studies have been performed in 10 mM N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N'-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer solution at pH 7.4 in H2O/MeOH (9:1, v/v) at 25 °C. In absorption spectra, chemosensors exhibit an intense band around 530 nm in the presence of Al3+ ion. Chemosensors (H 3 L1-H 3 L4) are nonfluorescent when excited around 490 nm. The presence of Al3+ ion enhances the emission intensity (555 nm) many times. The formation of complexes 1-4 is established with the aid of different spectroscopic techniques. The limit of detection value obtained in the nanomolar range confirms the high sensitivity of the probes toward Al3+ ion. It has been observed that the presence of aliphatic spacers in the diamine part and different halogen substituents in the salicylaldehyde part strongly influences the selectivity of the chemosensors toward Al3+ ion. The propensity of the chemosensors to identify intracellular Al3+ ions in triple-negative human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 by fluorescence imaging is also examined in this study.

Two colorimetric fluorescent turn-on chemosensors for detection of Al3+ and N3 - : Synthesis, photophysical and computational studies.

Project description:Two new rhodamine derivative L1 and L2 bearing 2-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 5-bromo-3-methoxy salicylaldehyde units were designed and synthesized using microwave-assisted organic synthesis and utilized towards sequential fluorescence detection of aluminum ion (Al3+ ) and azide (N3 - ) in aqueous acetonitrile solution. Aluminum ion (Al3+ ) triggers the formation of highly fluorescent ring-open spirolactam. The fluorescence and colorimetric response of the L1 -Al3+ and L2 -Al3+ complexes were quenched by the addition of N3 - , which extracting the Al3+ from the complexes and turn-off the sensors, confirming that the recognition process is reversible. The recognition ability of the sensors was investigated by fluorescence titration, Job's plot, 1 H-NMR spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Tunable cytotoxicity of rhodamine 6G via anion variations.

Project description:Chemotherapeutic agents with low toxicity to normal tissues are a major goal in cancer research. In this regard, the therapeutic activities of cationic dyes, such as rhodamine 6G, toward cancer cells have been studied for decades with observed toxicities toward normal and cancer cells. Herein, we report rhodamine 6G-based organic salts with varying counteranions that are stable under physiological conditions, display excellent fluorescence photostability, and more importantly have tunable chemotherapeutic properties. Our in vitro studies indicate that the hydrophobic compounds of this series allow production of nanoparticles which are nontoxic to normal cells and toxic to cancer cells. Furthermore, the anions, in combination with cations such as sodium, were observed to be nontoxic to both normal and cancer cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that both the cation and anion play an extremely important and cooperative role in the antitumor properties of these compounds.

A Highly Selective and Sensitive Turn-On Fluorescent Chemosensor Based on Rhodamine 6G for Iron(III).

Project description:Recently, more and more rhodamine derivatives have been used as fluorophores to construct sensors due to their excellent spectroscopic properties. A rhodamine-based fluorescent and colorimetric Fe(3+) chemosensor 3',6'-bis(ethylamino)-2-acetoxyl-2',7'-dimethyl-spiro[1H-isoindole-1,9'-[9H]xanthen]-3(2H)-one (RAE) was designed and synthesized. Upon the addition of Fe(3+), the dramatic enhancement of both fluorescence and absorbance intensity, as well as the color change of the solution, could be observed. The detection limit of RAE for Fe(3+) was around 7.98 ppb. Common coexistent metal ions showed little or no interference in the detection of Fe(3+). Moreover, the addition of CN(-) could quench the fluorescence of the acetonitrile solution of RAE and Fe(3+), indicating the regeneration of the chemosensor RAE. The robust nature of the sensor was shown by the detection of Fe(3+) even after repeated rounds of quenching. As iron is a ubiquitous metal in cells and plays vital roles in many biological processes, this chemosensor could be developed to have applications in biological studies.

Highly sensitive and selective colorimetric and off-on fluorescent reversible chemosensors for Al³⁺ based on the rhodamine fluorophore.

Project description:A series of rhodamine derivatives L1-L3 have been prepared and characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and ESI-MS. These compounds exhibited selective and sensitive "turn-on" fluorescent and colorimetric responses to Al3+ in methanol. Upon the addition of Al(III), the spiro ring was opened and a metal-probe complex was formed in a 1:1 stoichiometry, as was further confirmed by ESI-MS spectroscopy. The chemo-dosimeters L1-L3 exhibited good binding constants and low detection limits towards Al(III). We also successfully demonstrate the reversibility of the metal to ligand complexation (opened ring to spirolactam ring).

Rhodamine 6G-Ligand Influencing G-Quadruplex Stability and Topology.

Project description:The involvement of G-quadruplex (G4) structures in nucleic acids in various molecular processes in cells such as replication, gene-pausing, the expression of crucial cancer-related genes and DNA damage repair is well known. The compounds targeting G4 usually bind directly to the G4 structure, but some ligands can also facilitate the G4 folding of unfolded G-rich sequences and stabilize them even without the presence of monovalent ions such as sodium or potassium. Interestingly, some G4-ligand complexes can show a clear induced CD signal, a feature which is indirect proof of the ligand interaction. Based on the dichroic spectral profile it is not only possible to confirm the presence of a G4 structure but also to determine its topology. In this study we examine the potential of the commercially available Rhodamine 6G (RhG) as a G4 ligand. RhG tends to convert antiparallel G4 structures to parallel forms in a manner similar to that of Thiazole Orange. Our results confirm the very high selectivity of this ligand to the G4 structure. Moreover, the parallel topology of G4 can be verified unambiguously based on the specific induced CD profile of the G4-RhG complex. This feature has been verified on more than 50 different DNA sequences forming various non-canonical structural motifs.

Enhancing the biocompatibility of rhodamine fluorescent probes by a neighbouring group effect.

Project description:Fluorescence microscopy is an essential tool for understanding dynamic processes in living cells and organisms. However, many fluorescent probes for labelling cellular structures suffer from unspecific interactions and low cell permeability. Herein, we demonstrate that the neighbouring group effect which results from positioning an amide group next to a carboxyl group in the benzene ring of rhodamines dramatically increases cell permeability of the rhodamine-based probes through stabilizing a fluorophore in a hydrophobic spirolactone state. Based on this principle, we create probes targeting tubulin, actin and DNA. Their superb staining intensity, tuned toxicity and specificity allows long-term 3D confocal and STED nanoscopy with sub-30 nm resolution. Due to their unrestricted cell permeability and efficient accumulation on the target, the new probes produce high contrast images at low nanomolar concentrations. Superior performance is exemplified by resolving the real microtubule diameter of 23 nm and selective staining of the centrosome inside living cells for the first time.

A Highly Selective and Sensitive Fluorescent Chemosensor for Detecting Al3+ Ion in Aqueous Solution and Plant Systems.

Project description:The solubilized form of aluminum, Al3+, is present under acid soil conditions and toxic to both animals and plants. Detecting and quantifying Al3+ is vital for both chemistry and biology. A new Schiff-based fluorescent turn-on sensor (probe L) for the selective detection of the Al3+ ion was synthesized by coupling 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 2-aminoisoindoline-1,3-dione, and the structure was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The probe L exhibited an excellent selective and sensitive response to the Al3+ ion over other metal ions in DMSO-H₂O (1:9 v/v). Fluorescence quantification revealed that probe L was promising for the detection and accumulation of Al3+. Treating rice seedlings with Al3+ at 25⁻200 μM inhibited their growth. Al3+ treatment produced reactive oxygen species in rice roots. Practical applications of the fluorescent probe for the quantification of Al3+ in water samples and rice seedlings are demonstrated. Detecting the Al3+ ion with the probe L is easy and a potential alternative to existing analytical methods. The method can be used for detecting the Al3+ content of aqueous solution and plant systems. The novel fluorescent probe L has good potential for monitoring Al3+ content in the environment and biological systems.

Consecutive Photoinduced Electron Transfer (conPET): The Mechanism of the Photocatalyst Rhodamine 6G.

Project description:The dye rhodamine 6G can act as a photocatalyst through photoinduced electron transfer. After electronic excitation with green light, rhodamine 6G takes an electron from an electron donor, such as N,N-diisopropylethylamine, and forms the rhodamine 6G radical. This radical has a reduction potential of around -0.90 V and can split phenyl iodide into iodine anions and phenyl radicals. Recently, it has been reported that photoexcitation of the radical at 420 nm splits aryl bromides into bromide anions and aryl radicals. This requires an increase in reduction potential, hence the electronically excited rhodamine 6G radical was proposed as the reducing agent. Here, we present a study of the mechanism of the formation and photoreactions of the rhodamine 6G radical by transient absorption spectroscopy in the time range from femtoseconds to minutes in combination with quantum chemical calculations. We conclude that one photon of 540 nm light produces two rhodamine 6G radicals. The lifetime of the photoexcited radicals of around 350 fs is too short to allow diffusion-controlled interaction with a substrate. A fraction of the excited radicals ionize spontaneously, presumably producing solvated electrons. This decay produces hot rhodamine 6G and hot rhodamine 6G radicals, which cool with a time constant of around 10 ps. In the absence of a substrate, the ejected electrons recombine with rhodamine 6G and recover the radical on a timescale of nanoseconds. Photocatalytic reactions occur only upon excitation of the rhodamine 6G radical, and due to its short excited-state lifetime, the electron transfer to the substrate probably takes place through the generation of solvated electrons as an additional step in the proposed photochemical mechanism.
