Modular Access to Diverse Chemiluminescent Dioxetane-Luminophores through Convergent Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Adamantyl-dioxetane luminophores are an important class of chemiluminescent molecular probes for diagnostics and imaging. We have developed a new efficient synthetic route for preparation of adamantyl-enolether as precursors for dioxetane chemiluminescent luminophores. The synthesis is convergent, using an unusual Stille cross-coupling reaction employing a stannane-enolether, to directly afford adamantyl-enolether. In a following simple step, the dioxetane is obtained by oxidation of the enolether precursor with singlet-oxygen. The scope of this synthetic route is broad since a large number of haloaryl substrates are either commercially available or easily accessible. Such a late-stage derivatization strategy simplifies the rapid exploration of novel luminogenic molecular structures in a library format and simplifies the synthesis of known dioxetane luminophores. We expect that this new synthetic strategy will be particularly useful in the design and synthesis of yet unexplored dioxetane chemiluminescent luminophores.

Chemiluminescent duplex analysis using phenoxy-1,2-dioxetane luminophores with color modulation.

Project description:Multiplex technology is an important emerging field, in diagnostic sciences, that enables the simultaneous detection of several analytes in a single sample. The light-emission spectrum of a chemiluminescent phenoxy-dioxetane luminophore can be accurately predicted by determining the fluorescence-emission spectrum of its corresponding benzoate species, which is generated during the chemiexcitation process. Based on this observation, we designed a library of chemiluminescent dioxetane luminophores with multicolor emission wavelengths. Two dioxetane luminophores that have different emission spectra, but similar quantum yield properties, were selected from the synthesized library for a duplex analysis. The selected dioxetane luminophores were equipped with two different enzymatic substrates to generate turn-ON chemiluminescent probes. This pair of probes exhibited a promising ability to act as a chemiluminescent duplex system for the simultaneous detection of two different enzymatic activities in a physiological solution. In addition, the pair of probes were also able to simultaneously detect the activities of the two enzymes in a bacterial assay, using a blue filter slit for one enzyme and a red filter slit for the other enzyme. As far as we know, this is the first successful demonstration of a chemiluminescent duplex system composed of two-color phenoxy-1,2-dioxetane luminophores. We believe that the library of dioxetanes presented here will be beneficial for developing chemiluminescence luminophores for multiplex analysis of enzymes and bioanalytes.

Universal Access to Protease Chemiluminescent Probes through Solid-Phase Synthesis.

Project description:Protease chemiluminescent probes exhibit extremely high detection sensitivity for monitoring activity of various proteolytic enzymes. However, their synthesis, performed in solution, involves multiple synthetic and purification steps, thereby generating a major limitation for rapid preparation of such probes with diverse substrate scope. To overcome this limitation, we developed a general solid-phase-synthetic approach to prepare chemiluminescent protease probes, by peptide elongation, performed on an immobilized chemiluminescent enol-ether precursor. The enol-ether precursor is immobilized on a 2-chlorotrityl-chloride resin through an acrylic acid substituent by an acid-labile ester linkage. Next, a stepwise elongation of the peptide is performed using standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis. After cleavage of the peptide-enol-ether precursor from the resin, by hexafluoro-iso-propanol, a simple oxidation of the enol-ether yields the final chemiluminescent dioxetane protease probe. To validate the applicability of the methodology, two chemiluminescent probes were efficiently prepared by solid-phase synthesis with dipeptidyl substrates designed for activation by aminopeptidase and cathepsin-B proteases. A more complex example was demonstrated by the synthesis of a chemiluminescent probe for detection of PSA, which includes a peptidyl substrate of six amino acids. We anticipate that the described methodology would be useful for rapid preparation of chemiluminescent protease probes with vast and diverse peptidyl substrates.

Rapid chemiexcitation of phenoxy-dioxetane luminophores yields ultrasensitive chemiluminescence assays.

Project description:The utility of dioxetane-based chemiluminescent probes in biosensing and bioimaging is being increasingly recognized. While phenoxy-dioxetane luminophores with fast chemiexcitation kinetics are highly desired, current luminophores suffer from slow chemiexcitation. Herein we describe a rational, computationally-supported design of phenoxy-dioxetanes with fast chemiexcitation kinetics. These new luminophores were designed to contain a substituent that promotes rapid chemiexcitation, emitting light up to 100-fold faster than currently known dioxetanes. We demonstrate the superiority of the new phenoxy-dioxetanes by preparing three chemiluminescent probes for NAD(P)H, which differ from each other in the rate of the chemiexcitation. Comparison of these probes reveals a correlation between the chemiexcitation rate and the probe sensitivity. We anticipate that these new phenoxy-dioxetanes could serve as an ideal platform for designing chemiluminescence probes with enhanced sensitivity for numerous bioassays.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Ubiquitin-Dioxetane Conjugate as a Chemiluminescent Probe for Monitoring Deubiquitinase Activity.

Project description:The removal of ubiquitin (Ub) from a modified protein or Ub chain is a process that occurs regularly by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. This process is known to be mediated by various deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) in order to control the protein's half-life and its expression levels among many other signaling processes. Since the function of DUBs is also involved in numerous human diseases, such as cancer, there is an obvious need for an effective diagnostic probe that can monitor the activity of these enzymes. We have developed the first chemiluminescence probe for detection of DUBs activity. The probe was prepared by conjugation of the chemically synthesized C-terminally activated Ub(1-75) with a Gly-enolether precursor. Subsequent oxidation, under aqueous conditions, of the enolether conjuagate with singlet-oxygen furnished the dioxetane probe Ub-CL. This synthesis provides the first example of a dioxetane-luminophore protein conjugate. The probe's ability to detect deubiquitinating activity was successfully validated with three different DUBs. In order to demonstrate the advantage of our new probe, comparison measurements for detection of DUB UCH-L3 activity were performed between the chemiluminescent probe Ub-CL and the well-known Ub-AMC probe. The obtained data showed significantly higher S/N, for probe Ub-CL (>93-fold) in comparison to that observed for Ub-AMC (1.5-fold). We anticipate that the successful design and synthesis of the turn-ON protein-dioxetane conjugate probe, demonstrated in this work, will provide the insight and motivation for preparation of other relevant protein-dioxetane conjugates.

Chemiluminescent 1,2-Dioxetane Iridium Complexes for Near-Infrared Oxygen Sensing.

Project description:Chemiluminescent iridium-based sensors which demonstrate oxygen dependent responses have been developed. The molecular probes, named IrCL-1, IrCL-2 and IrCL-3 consist of oxygen-sensitive iridium complexes attached to a spiroadamantane 1,2 dioxetane and operate via energy transfer from the chemiexcited benzoate to the corresponding iridium(III) complex. Complexing the iridium(III) center with π-extended ligands results in emission in the biologically relevant, near-infrared (NIR) region. All probes demonstrate varying oxygen tolerance, with IrCL-1 being the most oxygen sensitive. These probes have been further utilized for in vitro ratiometric imaging of oxygen, as well as for intraperitoneal, intramuscular and intratumoral imaging in live mice. To our knowledge, these are the first iridium-based chemiluminescent probes that have been employed for in vitro ratiometric oxygen sensing, and for in vivo tumor imaging.

Enzyme-Activated, Chemiluminescent Siderophore-Dioxetane Probes Enable the Selective and Highly Sensitive Detection of Bacterial Pathogens.

Project description:The sensitive detection of bacterial infections is a prerequisite for their successful treatment. The use of a chemiluminescent readout was so far hampered by an insufficient probe enrichment at the pathogens. We coupled siderophore moieties, that harness the unique iron transport system of bacteria, with enzyme-activatable dioxetanes and obtained seven trifunctional probes with high signal-to-background ratios (S/B=426-859). Conjugates with efficient iron transport capability into bacteria were identified through a growth recovery assay. All ESKAPE pathogens were labelled brightly by desferrioxamine conjugates, while catechols were weaker due to self-quenching. Bacteria could also be detected inside lung epithelial cells. The best probe 8 detected 9.1×103 CFU mL-1 of S. aureus and 5.0×104 CFU mL-1 of P. aeruginosa, while the analogous fluorescent probe 10 was 205-305fold less sensitive. This qualifies siderophore dioxetane probes for the selective and sensitive detection of bacteria.

Opening a Gateway for Chemiluminescence Cell Imaging: Distinctive Methodology for Design of Bright Chemiluminescent Dioxetane Probes.

Project description:Chemiluminescence probes are considered to be among the most sensitive diagnostic tools that provide high signal-to-noise ratio for various applications such as DNA detection and immunoassays. We have developed a new molecular methodology to design and foresee light-emission properties of turn-ON chemiluminescence dioxetane probes suitable for use under physiological conditions. The methodology is based on incorporation of a substituent on the benzoate species obtained during the chemiexcitation pathway of Schaap's adamantylidene-dioxetane probe. The substituent effect was initially evaluated on the fluorescence emission generated by the benzoate species and then on the chemiluminescence of the dioxetane luminophores. A striking substituent effect on the chemiluminescence efficiency of the probes was obtained when acrylate and acrylonitrile electron-withdrawing groups were installed. The chemiluminescence quantum yield of the best probe was more than 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of a standard, commercially available adamantylidene-dioxetane probe. These are the most powerful chemiluminescence dioxetane probes synthesized to date that are suitable for use under aqueous conditions. One of our probes was capable of providing high-quality chemiluminescence cell images based on endogenous activity of β-galactosidase. This is the first demonstration of cell imaging achieved by a non-luciferin small-molecule probe with direct chemiluminescence mode of emission. We anticipate that the strategy presented here will lead to development of efficient chemiluminescence probes for various applications in the field of sensing and imaging.

Convergent and Modular Synthesis of Candidate Precolibactins. Structural Revision of Precolibactin A.

Project description:The colibactins are hybrid polyketide-nonribosomal peptide natural products produced by certain strains of commensal and extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli. The metabolites are encoded by the clb gene cluster as prodrugs termed precolibactins. clb(+) E. coli induce DNA double-strand breaks in mammalian cells in vitro and in vivo and are found in 55-67% of colorectal cancer patients, suggesting that mature colibactins could initiate tumorigenesis. However, elucidation of their structures has been an arduous task as the metabolites are obtained in vanishingly small quantities (μg/L) from bacterial cultures and are believed to be unstable. Herein we describe a flexible and convergent synthetic route to prepare advanced precolibactins and derivatives. The synthesis proceeds by late-stage union of two complex precursors (e.g., 28 + 17 → 29a, 90%) followed by a base-induced double dehydrative cascade reaction to form two rings of the targets (e.g., 29a → 30a, 79%). The sequence has provided quantities of advanced candidate precolibactins that exceed those obtained by fermentation, and is envisioned to be readily scaled. These studies have guided a structural revision of the predicted metabolite precolibactin A (from 5a or 5b to 7) and have confirmed the structures of the isolated metabolites precolibactins B (3) and C (6). Synthetic precolibactin C (6) was converted to N-myristoyl-d-asparagine and its corresponding colibactin by colibactin peptidase ClbP. The synthetic strategy outlined herein will facilitate mechanism of action and structure-function studies of these fascinating metabolites, and is envisioned to accommodate the synthesis of additional (pre)colibactins as they are isolated.

A Modular Approach for the Synthesis of Diverse Heterobifunctional Cyanine Dyes.

Project description:Herein, we present a straightforward synthetic route for the design and synthesis of diverse heterobifunctional cyanine 5 dyes. We optimized the workup by harnessing the pH- and functional group-dependent solubility of the asymmetric cyanine 5 dyes. Therefore, purification through chromatography is deferred until the last synthesis step. Demonstrating successful large-scale synthesis, our modular approach prevents functional group degradation by introducing them in the last synthesis step. These modifiable heterobifunctional dyes offer significant utility in advancing biological studies.

Convergent Synthesis of Diverse Tetrahydropyridines via Rh(I)-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization Sequences.

Project description:A Rh-catalyzed C-H bond activation/alkenylation/electrocyclization cascade reaction provides diverse 1,2-dihydropyridines from simple and readily available precursors. The reaction can be carried out at low (<1%) Rh-catalyst loadings, and the use of the robust, air-stable Rh precatalyst, [RhCl(cod)]2, enables the cascade reaction to be easily performed on the benchtop. The 1,2-dihydropyridine products serve as extremely versatile synthetic intermediates for further elaboration often without isolation. The addition of electrophiles under kinetic or thermodynamic conditions provides a wide range of iminiums. Subsequent addition of a nucleophile then generates a diverse array of differently substituted piperidine products. Additionally, [3 + 2] and [4 + 2] cycloadditions of the 1,2-dihydropyridine intermediate provides access to bridged bicyclic structures such as tropanes and isoquinuclidines. These concise reaction sequences enable the formation of highly substituted piperidines in synthetically useful yields with excellent diastereoselectivity.
