A Novel Fluorescence Probe 9-（4-（1,2-diamine）benzeneN 1-phenyl）acridine for Nitric Oxide Determination

A novel fluorescent probe 9-(4-(1,2-diamine)benzene-N1-phenyl)acridine(DABPA) was synthesized for the detection of nitric oxide(NO) and characterized by IR, 1H-NMR and EI-MS spectroscopy. Based on a photoelectron transfer mechanism, the fl uorescence intensities of DABPA were investigated with the different concentrations of NO. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the fl uorescence intensity of DABPA had a good linear relationship(R2=0.9977) with NO concentration in the range from 1×10-7 to 1.5×10-6 mol/L with a detection limit of 1×10-8 mol/L. The cytotoxicity induced by DABPA was evaluated by the MTT(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay for biological application. Furthermore, the probe DABPA had also been successfully applied to real-time image NO produced in PC12 cells in the presence of L-arginine.     

Synthesis,Photophysical Properties and Incorporation of a Highly Emissive and Environment‐Sensitive Uridine Analogue Based on the Lucifer Chromophore

The majority of fluorescent nucleoside analogues used in nucleic acid studies have excitation maxima in the UV region and show very low fluorescence within oligonucleotides (ONs); hence, they cannot be utilised with certain fluorescence methods and for cell‐based analysis. Here, we describe the synthesis, photophysical properties and incorporation of a highly emissive and environment‐sensitive uridine analogue, derived by attaching a Lucifer chromophore (1,8‐naphthalimide core) at the 5‐position of uracil. The emissive nucleoside displays excitation and emission maxima in the visible region and exhibits high quantum yield. Importantly, when incorporated into ON duplexes it retains appreciable fluorescence efficiency and is sensitive to the neighbouring base environment. Notably, the nucleoside signals the presence of purine repeats in ON duplexes with an enhancement in fluorescence intensity, a property rarely displayed by other nucleoside analogues.     

Genetically Encoded FRET-Sensor Based on Terbium Chelate and Red Fluorescent Protein for Detection of Caspase-3 Activity

This article describes the genetically encoded caspase-3 FRET-sensor based on the terbium-binding peptide, cleavable linker with caspase-3 recognition site, and red fluorescent protein TagRFP. The engineered construction performs two induction-resonance energy transfer processes: from tryptophan of the terbium-binding peptide to Tb³⁺ and from sensitized Tb³⁺ to acceptor—the chromophore of TagRFP. Long-lived terbium-sensitized emission (microseconds), pulse excitation source, and time-resolved detection were utilized to eliminate directly excited TagRFP fluorescence and background cellular autofluorescence, which lasts a fraction of nanosecond, and thus to improve sensitivity of analyses. Furthermore the technique facilitates selective detection of fluorescence, induced by uncleaved acceptor emission. For the first time it was shown that fluorescence resonance energy transfer between sensitized terbium and TagRFP in the engineered construction can be studied via detection of microsecond TagRFP fluorescence intensities. The lifetime and distance distribution between donor and acceptor were calculated using molecular dynamics simulation. Using this data, quantum yield of terbium ions with binding peptide was estimated.     

Long Residence Times Revealed by Aurora A Kinase‐Targeting Fluorescent Probes Derived from Inhibitors MLN8237 and VX‐689

We report the development of three fluorescent probes for protein kinase Aurora A that are derived from the well‐known inhibitors MLN8237 and VX‐689 (MK‐5108). Two of these probes target the ATP site of Aurora A, and one targets simultaneously the ATP and substrate sites of the kinase. The probes were tested in an assay with fluorescence polarisation/anisotropy readout, and we demonstrated slow association kinetics and long residence time of the probes (k_on 10⁵–10⁷ M ^?1 s^?1, k_off 10^?3–10^?4 s^?1; residence time 500–3000 s). The presence of the Aurora A activator TPX2 caused a significant reduction in the on‐rate and increase in the off‐rate of fluorescent probes targeting ATP site. These observations were supported by Aurora A inhibition assays with MLN8237 and VX‐689. Overall, our results emphasise the importance of rational design of experiments with these compounds and correct interpretation of the obtained data.     

An Expanded Set of Fluorogenic Sulfatase Activity Probes

Fluorogenic probes that are activated by an enzymatic transformation are ideally suited for profiling enzyme activities in biological systems. Here, we describe two fluorogenic enzyme probes, 3‐O‐methylfluorescein‐sulfate and resorufin‐sulfate, that can be used to detect sulfatases in mycobacterial lysates. Both probes were validated with a set of commercial sulfatases and used to reveal species‐specific sulfatase banding patterns in a gel‐resolved assay of mycobacterial lysates. The fluorogenic probes described here are suitable for various assays and provide a starting point for creating new sulfatase probes with improved selectivity for mycobacterial sulfatases.     

One‐pot synthesis of self‐stabilized and carboxyl‐functionalized fluorescent poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres covalently dyed with tris(8‐hydroquinolinato)aluminium by dispersion polymerization

The dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with fluorescent monomer tris[2‐((8‐hydroxyquinolin‐5‐yl)methoxy)ethyl methacrylate]aluminium (Al‐HQHEMA) was investigated to obtain fluorescent microspheres under varying conditions (such as composition of dispersion medium, and content of stabilizer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and Al‐HQHEMA) in methanol–water at 70 °C with 2,2′‐azoisobutyronitrile as the initiator. Fluorescent microspheres with particle size of 2.039 µm and uniformity of 0.171 were obtained under the following conditions: methanol–water, 7:3 (v/v); PVP, 15 wt% of MMA; Al‐HQHEMA solution, 1.5 mL. Maleic monoester of monomethoxyl poly(ethylene glycol) (Mal‐MPEG) was used as a comonomer to simultaneously incorporate carboxyl groups and PEG chains. With Mal‐MPEG, no aggregation was observed in the measurements of particle size and size distribution for the obtained microspheres after cleaning off PVP, indicating that self‐stabilized fluorescent microspheres were obtained. While without Mal‐MPEG, obvious aggregation was observed. The determination of surface carboxyl content using aqueous acid–base titration showed that most of the carboxyl groups of Mal‐MPEG were located on the surface of the microspheres. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry
