Project description:We report herein the application of kinetically inert luminescent iridium(III) complexes as dual inhibitors and probes of beta-amyloid fibrillogenesis. These iridium(III) complexes inhibited Aβ1-40 peptide aggregation in vitro, and protected against Aβ-induced cytotoxicity in neuronal cells. Furthermore, the complexes differentiated between the aggregated and unaggregated forms of Aβ1-40 peptide on the basis of their emission response.

Project description:The development of synthetic lanthanide luminescent probes for selective sensing or binding anions in aqueous medium requires an understanding of how these anions interact with synthetic lanthanide probes. Synthetic lanthanide probes designed to differentiate anions in aqueous medium could underpin exciting new sensing tools for biomedical research and drug discovery. In this direction, we present three mononuclear lanthanide-based complexes, EuLCl3 (1), SmLCl3 (2), and TbLCl3 (3), incorporating a hexadentate aminomethylpiperidine-based nitrogen-rich heterocyclic ligand L for sensing anion and establishing mechanistic insight on their binding activities in aqueous medium. All these complexes are meticulously studied for their preferential selectivities towards different anions such as HPO42-, SO42-, CH3COO-, I-, Br-, Cl-, F-, NO3-, CO32-/HCO3-, and HSO4- at pH 7.4 in aqueous HEPES (2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethanesulfonic acid) buffer. Among the anions scanned, HPO42- showed an excellent luminescence change with all three complexes. Job's plot and ESI-MS support the 1:2 association between the receptors and HPO42-. Systematic spectrophotometric titrations of 1-3 against HPO42- demonstrates that the emission intensities of 1 and 2 were enhanced slightly upon the addition of HPO42- in the range 0.01-1 equiv and 0.01-2 equiv., respectively. Among the three complexes, complex 3 showed a steady quenching of luminescence throughout the titration of hydrogen phosphate. The lower and higher detection limits of HPO42- by complexes 1 and 2 were determined as 0.1-4 mM and 0.4-3.2 mM, respectively, while complex 3 covered 0.2-100 μM. This concludes that all complexes demonstrated a high degree of sensitivity and selectivity towards HPO42-.

Project description:DNA aptamers have many benefits for cell imaging, such as high affinity and specificity, easiness of chemical functionalization, and low cost of production. Among known aptamers, Sgc8-aptamer was selected against acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells with a dissociation constant in a nanomolar range. The aptamer was previously used for the covalent coupling with fluorescent and magnetic nanoparticles, as well as for the fabrication of aptamer-based biosensors. Among commonly used fluorescent tags, lanthanide nanoparticles offer stable luminescence with narrow, well-resolved emission peaks and the absence of photoblinking. In other words, lanthanide nanoparticles could serve as luminescence reporters and be used in biosensing. In our study, we conjugated amino- and carboxyl-modified silica-coated terbium (III) thiacalix[4]arenesulfonate luminescent nanoparticles with Sgc8-aptamer and showed the ability of the aptamer-conjugated nanoparticles to detect leukemia cells using fluorescence microscopy. In addition, we conducted a cell viability assay and confirmed that the nanoparticles do not induce spontaneous cell apoptosis or necrosis and could be potentially used for bioimaging applications.

Project description:The synthesis, structure, and photophysical properties of several Tb(III) complexes with octadentate, macrotricyclic ligands that feature a bicapped topology and 2-hydroxyisophthalamide (IAM) chelating units are reported. These Tb(III) complexes exhibit highly efficient emission (?(total) ? 50%), large extinction coefficients (?(max) ? 20,000 M(-1) cm(-1)), and long luminescence lifetimes (?(H(2)O) ? 2.45 ms) at dilute concentrations in standard biological buffers. The structure of the methyl-protected ligand was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and confirms the macrotricyclic structure of the parent ligand; the amide groups of the methyl-protected cage compound generate an anion binding cavity that complexes a chloride anion. Once the ligand is deprotected, a conformational change generates a similar cavity, formed by the phenolate and ortho amide oxygen groups that strongly bind lanthanide ions. The Tb(III) complexes thus formed display long-term stability, with little if any change in their spectral properties (including lifetime, quantum yield, and emission spectrum) over time or in different chemical environments. Procedures to prepare functionalized derivatives with terminal amine, carboxylate, and N-hydroxysuccinimide groups suitable for derivatization and protein bioconjugation have also been developed. These bifunctional ligands have been covalently attached to a number of different proteins, and the terbium complexes' exceptional photophysical properties are retained. These compounds establish a new aqueous stability and quantum yield standard for long-lifetime lanthanide reporters.

Project description:A new luminescent Tb-DOTAGA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1-glutaric-4,7,10- triacetic acid) complex (TbL) was synthesized and covalently immobilized on a silicon wafer. The grafting process was monitored by means of IR and XPS spectroscopies and the optical properties of the functionalized silicon wafer (TbL@Si) were investigated by fluorescence experiments. A homemade setup was then implemented in order to follow TbL@Si optical properties in the presence of gaseous nitric oxide (NO). The prima facie results indicated that in the presence of NO, the wafer fluorescence was partially quenched. This quenching was reversible as soon as NO was pumped outside the fluorescence cell, which could be interesting for the further development of lanthanide labelled silicon wafers as gas phase sensors.

Project description:Iron ion is widely present in the environment and in biological systems, and are indispensable trace elements in living organisms, so development of an efficient and simple sensor for sensing Fe(III) ions has attracted much attention. Here, six heterometallic AE-Ln coordination polymers (CPs) [Ln2 (pda)4(Hnda)2Ca2(H2O)2]·MeOH (Ln = Eu (1), Tb (2); H2pda = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, H2nda = 2,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid), [Ln (pda)2 (nda)AE2(HCOO)(H2O)] (AE = Sr, Ln = Eu (3), Tb (4); AE = Ba, Ln = Eu (5), Tb (6)) with two-dimensional (2D) layer structures were synthesized by hydrothermal method. All of them were characterized by elemental analysis, XRD, IR, TG, as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction. They all show infinite 2D network structure, where complexes 1 and 2 are triclinic with space group of P1¯ , while 3-6 belong to the monoclinic system, space group P21/n . The solid-state fluorescence lifetimes of complexes 1, 3 and 5 are τobs1 = 1930.94, 2049.48 and 2,413.04 µs, respectively, and the quantum yields Ф total are 63.01, 60.61, 87.39%, respectively, which are higher than those of complexes 2, 4 and 6. Complexes 1-6 all exhibited efficient fluorescence quenching response to Fe3+ ions in water, and were not interfered by the following metal ions: Cu2+, Cd2+, Mg2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Sr2+, Li+, Na+, K+, Al3+, Fe2+, Pb2+, Cr3+, Mn2+ and Zn2+. The quenching coefficient K SV for complexes 1-6 is 1.41 × 105 M-1, 7.10 × 104 M-1, 1.70 × 105 M-1, 1.57 × 105 M-1, 9.37 × 104 M-1, 1.27 × 105 M-1, respectively. The fluorescence quenching mechanism of these complexes towards Fe3+ ions was also investigated. It is possible that the weak interaction formed between the complexes and the Fe3+ ions reduce the energy transfer from the ligand to the Ln3+ ion, producing the emission burst effect. This suggests that complexes 1-6 can be candidate for efficient luminescent sensor of Fe3+.

Project description:The luminescent coarse-, micro- and nanocrystalline europium(III) terephthalate tetrahydrate (Eu2bdc3·4H2O) metal-organic frameworks were synthesized by the ultrasound-assisted wet-chemical method. Electron micrographs show that the europium(III) terephthalate microparticles are 7 μm long leaf-like plates. According to the dynamic light scattering technique, the average size of the Eu2bdc3·4H2O nanoparticles is equal to about 8 ± 2 nm. Thereby, the reported Eu2bdc3·4H2O nanoparticles are the smallest nanosized rare-earth-based MOF crystals, to the best of our knowledge. The synthesized materials demonstrate red emission due to the 5D0-7FJ transitions of Eu3+ upon 250 nm excitation into 1ππ* state of the terephthalate ion. Size reduction results in broadened emission bands, an increase in the non-radiative rate constants and a decrease in both the quantum efficiency of the 5D0 level and Eu3+ and the luminescence quantum yields. Cu2+, Cr3+, and Fe3+ ions efficiently and selectively quench the luminescence of nanocrystalline europium(III) terephthalate, which makes it a prospective material for luminescent probes to monitor these ions in waste and drinking water.

Project description:A new mixed pyridyl-carboxylate ligand with two picolinate chromophores and a flexible linear spacer, potassium 2,2'-(butane-1,4-diylbis((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)azanediyl))diacetate (K2bpbd), which is obtained in high yield and spectroscopically characterized, has been utilized to make new lanthanide complexes, namely, [Ln(bpbd) (H2O)2(NO3)]·xH2O, where Ln = Tb (1) and x = 6, Ln = Sm (2) and x = 7, and Ln = Dy (3) and x = 7. These complexes have been extensively characterized by various spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analysis, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. These show very intense characteristic luminescence features that confirm the antenna effect of the ligand on the metal center. These complexes have been utilized for the detection of various nitroaromatic compounds. Among these three complexes, 1 is found to be the best for the selective sensing of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol in water with a detection limit of (0.35 ± 0.05) ppm. Its Stern-Volmer constant, K SV [(5.48 ± 0.1) × 104 M-1], is one of the highest among similar sensors reported so far.

Project description:We report the characterization of amphiphilic aminoglycoside conjugates containing luminophores with aggregation-induced emission properties as transfection reagents. These inherently luminescent transfection vectors are capable of binding plasmid DNA through electrostatic interactions; this binding results in an emission "on" signal due to restriction of intramolecular motion of the luminophore core. The luminescent cationic amphiphiles effectively transferred plasmid DNA into mammalian cells (HeLa, HEK 293T), as proven by expression of a red fluorescent protein marker. The morphologies of the aggregates were investigated by microscopy as well as ζ-potential and dynamic light-scattering measurements. The transfection efficiencies using luminescent cationic amphiphiles were similar to that of the gold-standard transfection reagent Lipofectamine® 2000.

Project description:Postproline proteases constitute a subset of serine proteases involved in the regulation of many signaling events and are emerging as promising therapeutic targets for prevalent diseases, such as diabetes and cancer. Therefore, monitoring their activity in different tissues and diverse physiological states would certainly facilitate the elucidation of their physiological role and the establishment of new therapeutic targets. Here, we have synthesized a dipeptidyl phosphonate activity-based probe that has proved to be highly selective for a specific postproline protease, prolyl oligopeptidase (POP). Its high sensitivity allows the detection of the endogenous activity of POP both by in-gel analysis and mass spectrometry. The evidence provided by mass spectrometry for the high selectivity of the synthesized probe opens the possibility of using dipeptidyl phosphonates not only for activity-based profiling (ABP), but also for other ABP applications like substrate-based protease identification.
