A Robust and Biocompatible Bismuth Ellagate MOF Synthesized Under Green Ambient Conditions.

ABSTRACT: The first bioinspired microporous metal-organic framework (MOF) synthesized using ellagic acid, a common natural antioxidant and polyphenol building unit, is presented. Bi2O(H2O)2(C14H2O8)·nH2O (SU-101) was inspired by bismuth phenolate metallodrugs, and could be synthesized entirely from nonhazardous or edible reagents under ambient aqueous conditions, enabling simple scale-up. Reagent-grade and affordable dietary supplement-grade ellagic acid was sourced from tree bark and pomegranate hulls, respectively. Biocompatibility and colloidal stability were confirmed by in vitro assays. The material exhibits remarkable chemical stability for a bioinspired MOF (pH = 2-14, hydrothermal conditions, heated organic solvents, biological media, SO2 and H2S), attributed to the strongly chelating phenolates. A total H2S uptake of 15.95 mmol g-1 was recorded, representing one of the highest H2S capacities for a MOF, where polysulfides are formed inside the pores of the material. Phenolic phytochemicals remain largely unexplored as linkers for MOF synthesis, opening new avenues to design stable, eco-friendly, scalable, and low-cost MOFs for diverse applications, including drug delivery.

Project description:Multiple tryptophan (Trp) proteins are not amenable to fluorescence study because individual residue emission is not resolvable. Biosynthetic incorporation of an indole analogue such as 5-hydroxyindole has not provided sufficient spectroscopic resolution because of low quantum yield and small emission shift. Here, 5-hydroxyindole is used as the starting framework for building a blue emitting fluorophore of high quantum yield, 2-phenyl-6H-oxazolo[4,5-e]indole (PHOXI). This is a three reagent reaction completed in 10 min under ambient conditions in borate buffer at pH 8. Reaction conditions have been optimized using 5-hydroxyindole. Derivatization is demonstrated on tryptophanyl 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and a stable ?-hairpin "zipper" peptide with four tryptophan residues, TrpZip2, where Trp 4 has been replaced with 5-HTP, W4 ? 5-HTP. Reaction optimization yields a PHOXI fluorophore that is essentially free of byproducts. Reaction specificity is demonstrated by the lack of reaction with N-acetyl-cysteine and amyloid ?-40, a peptide containing all amino acids except tryptophan, proline, and cysteine and lacking 5-HTP. Fluorescence study of PHOXI-derivatized 5-hydroxyindole in different solvents reveals the sensitivity of PHOXI to solvent polarity with a remarkable 87 nm red-shift in water relative to cyclohexane while maintaining high quantum yield. Thus, PHOXI joins the ranks of solvatochromic fluorophores such as PRODAN. Surprisingly, DFT calculations reveal coplanarity of the oxazolo/indole extended ring system and the phenyl substituent for both the HOMO and LUMO orbitals. Despite the crowded environment of three additional Trps in TrpZip2, CD spectroscopy shows that the TrpZip2 ?-hairpin structure is partially retained upon PHOXI incorporation. In an environment of smaller residues, PHOXI incorporation can be less disruptive of protein secondary structure, especially at molecular interfaces and other environments where there is typically less steric hindrance.
