A New Coumarin-Acridone Compound as a Fluorescence Probe for Fe³⁺ and Its Application in Living Cells and Zebrafish.

ABSTRACT: A new coumarin-acridone fluorescent probe S was designed and synthesized, and the structure was confirmed with ¹H/¹³C NMR spectrometry, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. This probe has high sensitivity and selectivity for Fe³⁺ over other testing metal ions at 420 or 436 nm in acetonitrile-MOPS (3-Morpholinopropanesulfonic Acid) buffer solution (20.0 μM, pH = 6.9, 8:2 (v/v)). Under physiological conditions, the probe displayed satisfying time stability with a detection limit of 1.77 µM. In addition, probe S was successfully used to detect intracellular iron changes through a fluorescence-off mode, and the imaging results of cells and zebrafish confirmed their low cytotoxicity and satisfactory cell membrane permeability, as well as their potential biological applications.

Furo[3,2-c]coumarin-derived Fe3+ Selective Fluorescence Sensor: Synthesis, Fluorescence Study and Application to Water Analysis.

Project description:Furocoumarin (furo[3,2-c]coumarin) derivatives have been synthesized from single step, high yielding (82-92%) chemistry involving a 4-hydroxycoumarin 4?+?1 cycloaddition reaction. They are characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR, and, for the first time, a comprehensive UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy study has been carried out to determine if these compounds can serve as useful sensors. Based on the fluorescence data, the most promising furocoumarin derivative (2-(cyclohexylamino)-3-phenyl-4H-furo[3,2-c]chromen-4-one, FH), exhibits strong fluorescence (?F?=?0.48) with long fluorescence lifetime (5.6?ns) and large Stokes' shift, suggesting FH could be used as a novel fluorescent chemosensor. FH exhibits a highly selective, sensitive and instant turn-off fluorescence response to Fe3+ over other metal ions which was attributed to a charge transfer mechanism. Selectivity was demonstrated against 13 other competing metal ions (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Al3+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Pb2+ and Ru3+) and aqueous compatibility was demonstrated in 10% MeOH-H2O solution. The FH sensor coordinates Fe3+ in a 1:2 stoichiometry with a binding constant, Ka?=?5.25 × 103?M-1. This novel sensor has a limit of detection of 1.93?µM, below that of the US environmental protection agency guidelines (5.37?µM), with a linear dynamic range of ~28 (~2-30?µM) and an R2 value of 0.9975. As an exemplar application we demonstrate the potential of this sensor for the rapid measurement of Fe3+ in mineral and tap water samples demonstrating the real-world application of FH as a "turn off" fluorescence sensor.

Design and Synthesis of New Acridone-Based Nitric Oxide Fluorescent Probe.

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes. Fluorescent imaging is a useful tool for monitoring NO concentration, which could be essential in various biological and biochemical studies. Here, we report the design of a novel small-molecule fluorescent probe based on 9(10H)acridone moiety for nitric oxide sensing. 7,8-Diamino-4-carboxy-10-methyl-9(10H)acridone reacts with NO in aqueous media in the presence of O2, yielding a corresponding triazole derivative with fivefold increased fluorescence intensity. The probe was shown to be capable of nitric oxide sensing in living Jurkat cells.

Synthesis of a Coumarin-Based PPARγ Fluorescence Probe for Competitive Binding Assay.

Project description:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a molecular target of metabolic syndrome and inflammatory disease. PPARγ is an important nuclear receptor and numerous PPARγ ligands were developed to date; thus, efficient assay methods are important. Here, we investigated the incorporation of 7-diethylamino coumarin into the PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone and used the compound in a binding assay for PPARγ. PPARγ-ligand-incorporated 7-methoxycoumarin, 1, showed weak fluorescence intensity in a previous report. We synthesized PPARγ-ligand-incorporating coumarin, 2, in this report, and it enhanced the fluorescence intensity. The PPARγ ligand 2 maintained the rosiglitazone activity. The obtained partial agonist 6 appeared to act through a novel mechanism. The fluorescence intensity of 2 and 6 increased by binding to the ligand binding domain (LBD) of PPARγ and the affinity of reported PPARγ ligands were evaluated using the probe.

The Synthesis of a Coumarin Carbohydrazide Dinuclear Copper Complex Based Fluorescence Probe and Its Detection of Thiols.

Project description:Small-molecule thiols, such as cysteine (CYS) and glutathione (GSH), are essential for maintaining the cellular redox environment and play important roles in regulating various cellular physiological functions. A fluorescence probe (compound 1-Cu2+) for thiols based on coumarin carbohydrazide dinuclear copper complex was developed. Compound 1 was synthesized from the reaction of 7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide with 4-tert-butyl-2,6- diformylphenol. Accordingly, the copper complex (compound 1-Cu2+) was prepared by mixing compound 1 with 2 equivalents copper ions. Compound 1 had strong fluorescence while compound 1-Cu2+ hardly possessed fluorescence owing to the quenching nature of paramagnetism Cu2+ to the fluorescence molecule excited state. However, the fluorescence intensity of compound 1-Cu2+ was increased dramatically after the addition of thiol-containing amino acids, but not the other non-sulfhydryl amino acids. UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra indicated that compound 1-Cu2+ had good selectivity and sensitivity for thiols such as glutathione in CH3CN:H2O (3:2, v/v) PBS solution. The fluorescence imaging experiments implied that compound 1-Cu2+ has potential application in thiol-containing amino acids detection in living cells.

New Acridone- and (Thio)Xanthone-Derived 1,1-Donor-Acceptor-Substituted Alkenes: pH-Dependent Fluorescence and Unusual Photooxygenation Properties.

Project description:A synthetic route to new heterocyclic 1,1-donor-acceptor-substituted alkenes starting with N-methyl-acridone, xanthone, and thioxanthone was investigated, leading to the acridone- and xanthone-derived products methyl 2-methoxy-2-(10-methylacridin-9 (10H)-ylidene)acetate (7) and methyl 2-methoxy-2-(9H-xanthen-9-ylidene)acetate (10) in low yields with the de-methoxylated product methyl 2-(10-methylacridin-9 (10H)-ylidene)acetate (8) and the reduced compound methyl 2-methoxy-2-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)acetate (11) as the major products from N-methyl acridone and xanthone. From thioxanthone, only the rearrangement and reduction products (14) and (15) resulted. The photophysical properties of compounds (7), (8), and (10) were investigated in the presence and absence of the Brønsted acid TFA by NMR, UV-VIS absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Protonation of the acridone-derived alkenes (7) and (8) led to strong bathochromic and hyperchromic fluorescence shifts and a substantial increase in Stokes shift. The photooxygenation experiments with these substrates showed an unusual reactivity pattern in the singlet oxygen processes: whereas the electron-rich enolether (7) was chemically unreactive, (8) and (10) were oxidatively cleaved, presumably via intermediate 1,2-dioxetanes.

Visualization of Fluoride Ions In Vivo Using a Gadolinium(III)-Coumarin Complex-Based Fluorescence/MRI Dual-Modal Probe.

Project description:A new Gadolinium(III)-coumarin complex, DO3A-Gd-CA, was designed and prepared as a dual-modal probe for simultaneous fluorescence and relaxivity responses to fluoride ions (F-) in aqueous media and mice. DO3A-Gd-CA was designed by using Gd(III) center as an MRI signal output unit and fluoride binding site, and the 4-(diethylamino)-coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (CA) as a fluorescence reporter. Upon the addition of fluoride ions to the solution of DO3A-Gd-CA, the liberation of the coordinated CA ligand led to a 5.7-fold fluorescence enhancement and a 75% increase in the longitudinal relaxivity (r₁). The fluorescent detection limit for fluoride ions was determined to be 8 μM based on a 3σ/slope. The desirable features of the proposed DO3A-Gd-CA, such as high sensitivity and specificity, reliability at physiological pH and low cytotoxicity enable its application in visualization of fluoride ion in mice. The successful in vivo imaging indicates that DO3A-Gd-CA could be potentially used in biomedical diagnosis fields.

A New Fluorescence Turn-On Probe for Aluminum(III) with High Selectivity and Sensitivity, and its Application to Bioimaging.

Project description:The development of novel selective probes with high sensitivity for the detection of Al(3+) is widely considered an important research goal due to the importance of such probes in medicine, living systems and the environment. Here, we describe a new fluorescent probe, N'-(4-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (1), for Al(3+). Probe 1 was evaluated in a solution of acetonitrile/water (1:1 v/v). Compared with previously reported probes for Al(3+), probe 1 can be synthesized easily and in high yield. A Job plot confirmed that probe 1 is able to complex Al(3+) in a 1:1 ratio, and the binding constant was determined to be 4.25×10(8)?m(-1). Moreover, the detection limit was as low as 6.7×10(-9)?m, suggesting that probe 1 has a high sensitivity. Common coexistent metal ions, such as K(+), Co(2+), Ca(2+), Ba(2+), Ni(2+), Pb(2+), Hg(2+), Ce(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), Fe(3+), showed little or no interference in the detection of Al(3+) in solution, demonstrating the high selectivity of the probe. Finally, the ability of probe 1 to act as a fluorescent probe for Al(3+) in living systems was evaluated in Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, and confocal laser scanning microscopy confirmed its utility. The results of this study suggest that 1 has appropriate properties to be developed for application as a fluorescent probe of Al(3+) for use in biological studies.

Salivary Hydrogen Sulfide Measured with a New Highly Sensitive Self-Immolative Coumarin-Based Fluorescent Probe.

Project description:Ample evidence suggests that H?S is an important biological mediator, produced by endogenous enzymes and microbiota. So far, several techniques including colorimetric methods, electrochemical analysis and sulfide precipitation have been developed for H?S detection. These methods provide sensitive detection, however, they are destructive for tissues and require tedious sequences of preparation steps for the analyzed samples. Here, we report synthesis of a new fluorescent probe for H?S detection, 4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl 5-azidopentanoate (1). The design of 1 is based on combination of two strategies for H?S detection, i.e., reduction of an azido group to an amine in the presence of H?S and intramolecular lactamization. Finally, we measured salivary H?S concentration in healthy, 18?40-year-old volunteers immediately after obtaining specimens. The newly developed self-immolative coumarin-based fluorescence probe (C15H15N?O?) showed high sensitivity to H?S detection in both sodium phosphate buffer at physiological pH and in saliva. Salivary H?S concentration in healthy volunteers was within a range of 1.641?7.124 ?M.

A new coumarin compound DCH combats methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilm by targeting arginine repressor.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus infection is difficult to eradicate because of biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance. The increasing prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection necessitates the development of a new agent against bacterial biofilms. We report a new coumarin compound, termed DCH, that effectively combats MRSA in vitro and in vivo and exhibits potent antibiofilm activity without detectable resistance. Cellular proteome analysis suggests that the molecular mechanism of action of DCH involves the arginine catabolic pathway. Using molecular docking and binding affinity assays of DCH, and comparison of the properties of wild-type and ArgR-deficient MRSA strains, we demonstrate that the arginine repressor ArgR, an essential regulator of the arginine catabolic pathway, is the target of DCH. These findings indicate that DCH is a promising lead compound and validate bacterial ArgR as a potential target in the development of new drugs against MRSA biofilms.
