Impact of Cyanine Conformational Restraint in the Near-Infrared Range.

ABSTRACT: Appending conformationally restraining ring systems to the cyanine chromophore creates exceptionally bright fluorophores in the visible range. Here, we report the application of this strategy in the near-infrared range through the preparation of the first restrained heptamethine indocyanine. Time-resolved absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy verify that, unlike the corresponding parent unrestrained variant, the restrained molecule is not subject to photoisomerization. Notably, however, the room-temperature emission efficiency and the fluorescence lifetime of the restrained cyanine are not extended relative to the parent cyanine, even in viscous solvents. Thus, in contrast to prior reports, the photoisomerization of heptamethine cyanines does not contribute significantly to the excited-state chemistry of these molecules. We also find that the fluorescence lifetime of the restrained heptamethine cyanine is temperature-insensitive and significantly extended at moderately elevated temperatures relative to the parent cyanine. Finally, computational studies have been used to evaluate the impact of the conformational restraint on atomic and orbital structure across the cyanine series. These studies clarify the role of photoisomerization in the heptamethine cyanine scaffold and demonstrate the dramatic effect of restraint on the temperature sensitivity of these dyes.

Cyanine Conformational Restraint in the Far-Red Range.

Project description:Far-red cyanine fluorophores find extensive use in modern microscopy despite modest quantum yields. To improve the photon output of these molecules, we report a synthetic strategy that blocks the major deactivation pathway: excited-state trans-to-cis polyene rotation. In the key transformation, a protected dialdehyde precursor undergoes a cascade reaction to install the requisite tetracyclic ring system. The resulting molecules exhibit the characteristic features of conformational restraint, including improved fluorescence quantum yield and extended lifetime. Moreover, these compounds recover from hydride reduction with dramatically improved efficiency. These observations enable efficient single-molecule localization microscopy in oxygenated buffer without addition of thiols. Enabled by modern organic synthesis, these studies provide a new class of far-red dyes with promising spectroscopic and chemical properties.

Transparent organic photodetector using a near-infrared absorbing cyanine dye.

Project description:Organic photodetectors are interesting for low cost, large area optical sensing applications. Combining organic semiconductors with discrete absorption bands outside the visible wavelength range with transparent and conductive electrodes allows for the fabrication of visibly transparent photodetectors. Visibly transparent photodetectors can have far reaching impact in a number of areas including smart displays, window-integrated electronic circuits and sensors. Here, we demonstrate a near-infrared sensitive, visibly transparent organic photodetector with a very high average visible transmittance of 68.9%. The transmitted light of the photodetector under solar irradiation exhibits excellent transparency colour perception and rendering capabilities. At a wavelength of 850 nm and at -1 V bias, the photoconversion efficiency is 17% and the specific detectivity is 10(12) Jones. Large area photodetectors with an area of 1.6 cm(2) are demonstrated.

Impact of C4'-O-Alkyl Linker on in Vivo Pharmacokinetics of Near-Infrared Cyanine/Monoclonal Antibody Conjugates.

Project description:Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores have several advantages over visible-light fluorophores, including superior tissue penetration and lower autofluorescence. We recently accessed a new class of readily synthesized NIR cyanines containing a novel C4'-O-alkyl linker, which provides both high chemical stability and excellent optical properties. In this study, we provide the first in vivo analysis of this new class of compounds, represented by the tetrasulfonate FNIR-774 (Frederick NIR 774). Monoclonal antibody (mAb) conjugates of FNIR-774 were compared to conjugates of the commercially available dye (IRDye800CW (IR800)), one of the most widely used NIR fluorophores for clinical translation. Both dyes were conjugated to panitumumab (pan) or cetuximab (cet) with ratios of 1:2 or 1:5. Conjugates of both dyes demonstrated similar quenching capacity, stability, and brightness in target cells in vitro. In contrast, in vivo imaging in mice showed different pharmacokinetics between pan-FNIR-774 (1:5) and pan-IR800 (1:5), or cet-FNIR-774 (1:5) and cet-IR800 (1:5). Particularly at the higher labeling density, mAb-FNIR-774 conjugates showed superior specific accumulation in tumors compared with mAb-IR800 conjugates. Thus, FNIR-774 conjugates showed superior in vivo pharmacokinetics compared with IR800 conjugates, independent of the mAb. These results suggest that FNIR-774 is a promising fluorescent probe for NIR optical imaging.

Cucurbit[7]uril Complexation of Near-Infrared Fluorescent Azobenzene-Cyanine Conjugates.

Project description:Two new azobenzene heptamethine cyanine conjugates exist as dispersed monomeric molecules in methanol solution and exhibit near-infrared (NIR) cyanine absorption and fluorescence. Both conjugates form non-emissive cyanine H-aggregates in water, but the addition of cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) induces dye deaggregation and a large increase in cyanine NIR fluorescence emission intensity. CB7 encapsulates the protonated azonium tautomer of the 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)azobenzene component of each azobenzene-cyanine conjugate and produces a distinctive new absorption band at 534 nm. The complex is quite hydrophilic, which suggests that CB7 can be used as a supramolecular additive to solubilize this new family of NIR azobenzene-cyanine conjugates for future biomedical applications. Since many azobenzene compounds are themselves potential drug candidates or theranostic agents, it should be possible to formulate many of them as CB7 inclusion complexes with improved solubility, stability, and pharmaceutical profile.

Near-infrared fluorescence activation probes based on disassembly-induced emission cyanine dye.

Project description:Currently most of the fluorogenic probes are designed for the detection of enzymes which work by converting the non-fluorescence substrate into the fluorescence product via an enzymatic reaction. On the other hand, the design of fluorogenic probes for non-enzymatic proteins remains a great challenge. Herein, we report a general strategy to create near-IR fluorogenic probes, where a small molecule ligand is conjugated to a novel γ-phenyl-substituted Cy5 fluorophore, for the selective detection of proteins through a non-enzymatic process. Detail mechanistic studies reveal that the probes self-assemble to form fluorescence-quenched J-type aggregate. In the presence of target analyte, bright fluorescence in the near-IR region is emitted through the recognition-induced disassembly of the probe aggregate. This Cy5 fluorophore is a unique self-assembly/disassembly dye as it gives remarkable fluorescence enhancement. Based on the same design, three different fluorogenic probes were constructed and one of them was applied for the no-wash imaging of tumor cells for the detection of hypoxia-induced cancer-specific biomarker, transmembrane-type carbonic anhydrase IX.

Cyanine-Flavonol Hybrids for Near-Infrared Light-Activated Delivery of Carbon Monoxide.

Project description:Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenous signaling molecule that controls a number of physiological processes. To circumvent the inherent toxicity of CO, light-activated CO-releasing molecules (photoCORMs) have emerged as an alternative for its administration. However, their wider application requires photoactivation using biologically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. In this work, a strategy to access such photoCORMs by fusing two CO-releasing flavonol moieties with a NIR-absorbing cyanine dye is presented. These hybrids liberate two molecules of CO in high chemical yields upon activation with NIR light up to 820 nm and exhibit excellent uncaging cross-sections, which surpass the state-of-the-art by two orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the biocompatibility and applicability of the system in vitro and in vivo are demonstrated, and a mechanism of CO release is proposed. It is hoped that this strategy will stimulate the discovery of new classes of photoCORMs and accelerate the translation of CO-based phototherapy into practice.

Theranostic Polyaminocarboxylate-Cyanine-Transferrin Conjugate for Anticancer Therapy and Near-Infrared Optical Imaging.

Project description:Iron chelation therapy has been recognized as a promising antitumor therapeutic strategy. Herein we report a novel theranostic agent for targeted iron chelation therapy and near-infrared (NIR) optical imaging of cancers. The theranostic agent was prepared by incorporation of a polyaminocarboxylate-based cytotoxic chelating agent (N-NE3TA; 7-[2-[(carboxymethyl)amino]ethyl]-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4-diacetic acid) and a NIR fluorescent cyanine dye (Cy5.5) onto a tumor-targeting transferrin (Tf). The N-NE3TA-Tf conjugate (without Cy5.5) was characterized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity in HeLa, HT29, and PC3 cancer cells, which have elevated expression levels of the transferrin receptor (TfR). The N-NE3TA-Tf conjugate displayed significant inhibitory activity against all three cancer cell lines. The NIR dye Cy5.5 was then incorporated into N-NE3TA-Tf, and the resulting cytotoxic and fluorescent transferrin conjugate N-NE3TA-Tf-Cy5.5 was shown by microscopy to enter TfR-overexpressing cancer cells. This theranostic conjugate has potential application for dual use in targeted iron chelation cancer therapy and NIR fluorescence imaging.

Red and Near-Infrared Absorbing DicyanomethyleneSquaraine Cyanine Dyes: PhotophysicochemicalProperties and Anti-Tumor Photosensitizing Effects.

Project description:Photodynamic therapy is a medical modality developed for the treatment of several diseases of oncological and non-oncological etiology that requires the presence of a photosensitizer, light and molecular oxygen, which combined will trigger physicochemical reactions responsible for reactive oxygen species production. Given the scarcity of photosensitizers that exhibit desirable characteristics for its potential application in this therapeutic strategy, the main aims of this work were the study of the photophysical and photochemical properties and the photobiological activity of several dicyanomethylene squaraine cyanine dyes. Thus, herein, the study of their aggregation character, photobleaching and singlet oxygen production ability, and the further application of the previously synthesized dyes in Caco-2 and HepG2 cancer cell lines, to evaluate their phototherapeutic effects, are described. Dicyanomethylene squaraine dyes exhibited moderate light-stability and, despite the low singlet oxygen quantum yields, were a core of dyes that exhibited relevant in vitro photodynamic activity, as there was an evident increase in the toxicity of some of the tested dyes exclusive to radiation treatments.

Synthesis and Optical Properties of Near-Infrared meso-Phenyl-Substituted Symmetric Heptamethine Cyanine Dyes.

Project description:Heptamethine cyanine dyes are a class of near infrared fluorescence (NIRF) probes of great interest in bioanalytical and imaging applications due to their modifiability, allowing them to be tailored for particular applications. Generally, modifications at the meso-position of these dyes are achieved through Suzuki-Miyaura C-C coupling and SRN1 nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom at the meso-position of the dye. Herein, a series of 15 meso phenyl-substituted heptamethine cyanines was synthesized utilizing a modified dianil linker. Their optical properties, including molar absorptivity, fluorescence, Stokes shift, and quantum yield were measured. The HSA binding affinities of two representative compounds were measured and compared to that of a series of trimethine cyanines previously synthesized by our lab. The results indicate that the binding of these compounds to HSA is not only dependent on hydrophobicity, but may also be dependent on steric interferences in the binding site and structural dynamics of the NIRF compounds.

A Cyanine Photooxidation/β-Elimination Sequence Enables Near-infrared Uncaging of Aryl Amine Payloads.

Project description:Uncaging strategies that use near-infrared wavelengths can enable the highly targeted delivery of biomolecules in complex settings. Many methods, including an approach we developed using cyanine photooxidation, are limited to phenol-containing payloads. Given the critical role of amines in diverse biological processes, we sought to use cyanine photooxidation to initiate the release of aryl amines. Heptamethine cyanines substituted with an aryl amine at the C4' position undergo only inefficient release, likely due electronic factors. We then pursued the hypothesis that the carbonyl products derived from cyanine photooxidation could undergo efficient β-elimination. After examining both symmetrical and unsymmetrical scaffolds, we identify a merocyanine substituted with indolenine and coumarin heterocycles that undergoes efficient photooxidation and aniline uncaging. In total, these studies provide a new scheme-cyanine photooxidation followed by β-elimination-through which to design photocages with efficient uncaging properties.
