At least three different linkers have been commonly used to connect the recognition unit and reporting unit in reported probes for NTR. Meanwhile, the linker is known to be a key factor for achieving best sensing performance. In this work, three near-infrared fluorescence probes CyNP-1, CyNP-2 and CyNP-3 were designed and synthesized from an aminocyanine dye CyNP. The three probes have the same recognition unit and same fluorescence reporting unit, but different linkers. CyNP-1 was found to have the best sensing performance for NTR with 40-fold of fluorescence enhancement. It is well investigated how the difference of the linkers brings out the different sensing performance by HPLC, MS and docking calculations. In the end, CyNP-1 was found to have good selectivity for NTR and used to imaging hypoxia in Hela cells.展开更多

Herein, we wish to report a coumarin-thiazolidine masked D-penicillamine based dual-modality fluorescent probe COU-DPA-1 for selective detection, differentiation, and detoxification of multiple heavy metal ions(Ag^(+), Hg^(2+), Cu^(2+)). The probe shows divergent fluorescence(FL)/circular dichroism(CD) responses via divergent bond-cleavage cascade reactions(metal ion promoted C-S cleavage and hydrolysis at two distinctive cleavage sites): FL “turn-off” and CD “turn-on” for Ag+(no hydrolysis), FL “turn-on” and CD “turn-off” for Hg^(+)(imine hydrolysis), and FL “self-threshold ratiometric” and CD “turn-off” for excess Cu^(2+)(lactone and imine hydrolysis), providing the first example of a fluorescence/CD dual-modality probe for multiple species with complimentary responses. Moreover, the bond-cleavage cascade reactions also lead to the formation of D-penicillamine heavy metal ion complexes for potential detoxification treatments.展开更多

Apart from that, curcumin and its derivatives can interact with numerous molecular targets, thereby exerting less side effects on human body. The fluorescence emission wavelength and fluorescence intensity of curcumin can be enhanced by modifying its π-conjugated system and β-diketone structure. Some curcumin-based fluorescent probes have been utilized to detect soluble/insoluble amyloid-β protein, intracranial reactive oxygen species, cysteine, cancer cells, etc. Based on the binding characteristics of curcumin-based fluorescent probes with various target molecules, the factors affecting the fluorescence intensity and emission wavelength of the probes are analyzed, in order to obtain a curcumin probe with higher sensitivity and selectivity. Such an approach will be greatly applicable to in vivo fluorescence imaging.展开更多

However, the in vivo detection of endogenous cysteine still suffers from lacking small-molecule fluorophores with both excitation and emission in the near-infrared(650-900 nm)/shortwave-infrared region. Herein, we report a molecular engineering strategy for shortwave infrared(SWIR, 900-1700 nm) sensing of cysteine, which integrated an excited-state intermolecular proton transfer(ESIPT) building block into the intramolecular charge transfer(ICT) scaffold. The obtained novel fluorophore SH-OH displays a maximum absorption at the NIR region, and emission at the SWIR region. We introduce the cysteine-recognition moiety to SH-OH structure, and demonstrate sensing of endogenous cysteine in living animals, using the SWIR emission as a reliable off-on fluorescence signal. This fluorophore design strategy of cooperation of ICT and ESIPT processes expands the in vivo sensing toolbox for accurate analysis in clinical applications.展开更多

Herein, we wish to report a coumarin-thiazolidine masked D-penicillamine based dual-modality fluorescent probe COU-DPA-1 for selective detection, differentiation, and detoxification of multiple heavy metal ions(Ag^(+), Hg^(2+), Cu^(2+)). The probe shows divergent fluorescence(FL)/circular dichroism(CD) responses via divergent bond-cleavage cascade reactions(metal ion promoted C-S cleavage and hydrolysis at two distinctive cleavage sites): FL “turn-off” and CD “turn-on” for Ag+(no hydrolysis), FL “turn-on” and CD “turn-off” for Hg^(+)(imine hydrolysis), and FL “self-threshold ratiometric” and CD “turn-off” for excess Cu^(2+)(lactone and imine hydrolysis), providing the first example of a fluorescence/CD dual-modality probe for multiple species with complimentary responses. Moreover, the bond-cleavage cascade reactions also lead to the formation of D-penicillamine heavy metal ion complexes for potential detoxification treatments.

文摘A ratiometric fluorescent probe for hypoxanthine(Hx)detection was established based on the mimic enzyme and fluorescence characteristics of cobalt-doped graphite-phase carbon nitride(Co doped g-C_(3)N_(4)).In addition to emitting strong fluorescence,the peroxidase activity of Co doped g-C_(3)N_(4)can catalyze the reaction of O-phenylenediamine and H_(2)O_(2)to produce diallyl phthalate which can emit yellow fluorescence at 570 nm.Through the decomposition of Hx by xanthine oxidase,Hx can be indirectly detected by the generating hydrogen peroxide based on the measurement of fluorescent ratio I(F_(570)/F_(370)).The linear range was 1.7-272.2 mg/kg(R^(2)=0.997),and the detection limit was 1.52 mg/kg(3σ/K,n=9).The established method was applied to Hx detection in bass,grass carp,and shrimp,and the data were verified by HPLC.The result shows that the established probe is sensitive,accurate,and reliable,and can be used for Hx detection in aquatic products.

文摘Curcumin and its derivatives have good electrical and optical properties due to the highly symmetric structure of delocalized π electrons. Apart from that, curcumin and its derivatives can interact with numerous molecular targets, thereby exerting less side effects on human body. The fluorescence emission wavelength and fluorescence intensity of curcumin can be enhanced by modifying its π-conjugated system and β-diketone structure. Some curcumin-based fluorescent probes have been utilized to detect soluble/insoluble amyloid-β protein, intracranial reactive oxygen species, cysteine, cancer cells, etc. Based on the binding characteristics of curcumin-based fluorescent probes with various target molecules, the factors affecting the fluorescence intensity and emission wavelength of the probes are analyzed, in order to obtain a curcumin probe with higher sensitivity and selectivity. Such an approach will be greatly applicable to in vivo fluorescence imaging.

文摘A novel ZnII-based metal-organic framework with the formula of{[Zn_(2)(BBIP)_(2)(NDC)_(2)]·H_(2)O}n(JXUST-5)derived from 3,5-bis(benzimidazol-1-yl)pyridine(BBIP)and 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid(H_(2)NDC)has been synthesized.The adjacent Zn^(II)ions are linked through two BBIP ligands to form a[Zn_(2)(BBIP)_(2)]secondary building unit(SBU).The neighbouring SBUs are further connected by NDC^(2-)withμ2-η^(1):η^(1)andμ2-η^(1):η^(1):η^(1)bridging modes to form a two-dimensional(2D)framework.Topological analysis shows that JXUST-5 could be simplified as an uninodal fes topology with a point symbol of{4.8^(2)}.Furthermore,the 2D framework net could be extended through C-H···πinteraction to form the three-dimensional supramolecular structure.Luminescent experiments suggest that JXUST-5 could selectively and sensitively recognize Al^(3+)and Ga^(3+)through fluorescence enhancement effect along with a relatively large red shift.The detection limits for Al^(3+)and Ga^(3+)are 0.17 and 0.69 ppm,respectively.Interestingly,the sensing process for both Al^(3+)and Ga^(3+)could be directly observed with naked eyes under 365 nm UV lamp.Notably,JXUST-5 could be recycled at least five times as a fluorescent sensor toward Al^(3+)and Ga^(3+),which is the second example of turn-on MOF based fluorescent sensor toward Ga^(3+).

文摘Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)can cause serious liver damage.Early diagnosis and effective treatment of NAFLD can greatly improve treatment rates.The initiation and development of NAFLD has been closely linked to endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress,which might cause ER viscosity variations.Therefore,if the internal relationship between ER viscosity and NAFLD is clarified,an effective approach for early diagnosis may result.Herein,we fabricated a novel near-infrared(NIR)fluorescence imaging probe,Er-V,for monitoring ER viscosity through a molecular rotor strategy.Er-V exhibited a strong NIR fluorescence signal(at 626 nm)when the environmental viscosity hindered the rotation of the malononitrile group.Using Er-V,we successfully observed a significant enhancement in viscosity in the liver of mice with NAFLD.Therefore,this imaging method based on Er-V is expected to provide a new approach for early detection and diagnosis of NAFLD.

文摘Humanβ-galactosidase(β-gal)is recognized as a crucial biomarker for evaluating senescence at the cellular and tissue levels in humans.However,tools to precisely track the endogenousβ-gal are still limited.Herein,we present two novel self-calibratingβ-gal probes 7a and 7b which were constructed on a unique green/red dual-emissive fluorescence platform.The two probes inherently exhibited a stable green fluorescence signal impervious toβ-gal activity,serving as a reliable internal reference.They also displayed a progressively diminishing red fluorescence signal with the increasing ofβ-gal expression levels.The dual behavior endows them with self-calibration capacity and then renders excellently selective and sensitive for precisely monitoringβ-gal activity.Notably,compared with E.coliβ-gal,the two probes are more effectively response to A.oryzaeβ-gal homologous to humanβ-gal,indicating their unique species-selectivity.Furthermore,7a was validated for its effectiveness in determining senescenceassociatedβ-galactosidase(SA-β-gal)expression in senescent NRK-52E and HepG2 cells,underscoring its practical applicability in senescence research.

文摘Sulfur dioxide and its derivative sulfite widely existed in air,water as the environment pollutant.Sulfite is also commonly used as preservative and additive in fresh fruits,vegetables,wines and pharmaceutical materials.Due to sulfite is closely related with human diseases,it is very urgent for the sensitive and rapid quantification of sulfite in various samples.In our study,a turn-on near infrared(NIR)fluorescent probe(MDQ)was developed for sulfite detection based on a Michael addition reaction,with high sensitivity(LOD 4.16 nmol/L),selectivity and fast response time(400 s).Using MDQ,a quantify method for sulfite in traditional Chinese medicines(TCMs)was developed with the advantages of high precision,accuracy and convenient operation.Furthermore,according to the photophysical property of MDQ,a portable fluorescence detector is designed to quantify sulfite for TCMs and surface water in Dalian city of China.Therefore,the developed fluorescent probe MDQ and portable fluorescent detector as a rapid inspection instrument were successfully used to real-time monitor the sulfite in various complex samples.

文摘Cysteine is well-known to be an important biothiol and related to many diseases. However, the in vivo detection of endogenous cysteine still suffers from lacking small-molecule fluorophores with both excitation and emission in the near-infrared(650-900 nm)/shortwave-infrared region. Herein, we report a molecular engineering strategy for shortwave infrared(SWIR, 900-1700 nm) sensing of cysteine, which integrated an excited-state intermolecular proton transfer(ESIPT) building block into the intramolecular charge transfer(ICT) scaffold. The obtained novel fluorophore SH-OH displays a maximum absorption at the NIR region, and emission at the SWIR region. We introduce the cysteine-recognition moiety to SH-OH structure, and demonstrate sensing of endogenous cysteine in living animals, using the SWIR emission as a reliable off-on fluorescence signal. This fluorophore design strategy of cooperation of ICT and ESIPT processes expands the in vivo sensing toolbox for accurate analysis in clinical applications.
文摘Direct measurement of dipole potential in biological membranes has been impossible and 3-hydroxyflavones(3HFs) have allowed detection of changes in dipole potential in biological systems.In the present study,sixteen derivatives of 3HF with aliphatic hydrocarbon chains of different lengths at 4′-position and 6-position were synthesized.The basic fluorescence properties of 3HFs are maintained in all the probes in terms of strong blue shift in maximum fluorescence emission wavelength and>100 fold increase in quantum yield in organic solvents and in dioleoylphosphatidylcholine(DOPC) small unilamellar vesicles(SUV) in comparison to in aqueous Hepes buffer(15 mmol/L,pH 7.4).More importantly,the ability of the new compounds to report dipole potential changes in biological systems are also maintained,since all the new probes showed spectrum properties that are similar to yet different from that of F4N1,which potentially may allow more sensitive measurement of the dipole potential change in membranes.
