Acetylcholine detection at micromolar concentrations with the use of an artificial receptor-based fluorescence switch

An inclusion complex between water-soluble p-sulfocalix[n]arene (Cn, n=4, 6, 8) and the chromophore trans-4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]-1-methylpyridinium-p-toluenesulfonate (D) formed the basis for a highly sensitive sensor for the selective detection of neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). Formation of the [Cn.D] complex (Ka=approximately 10(5) M(-1)) was accompanied by a drastic increase (up to 20-60-fold) in the chromophore relative quantum yield and by a large hypsochromic shift of the emission band maximum. The observed optical effects are fully reversible: ACh displaces the chromophore molecules from the calixarene cavity as shown by the reappearance of the free chromophore emission band. Formation and dissociation of the complex were studied by fluorescence, 1H NMR, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopies. The [Cn.D] complex is capable of sensing ACh selectively in solution at sub-micromolar concentrations. Immobilization of monocarboxyl p-sulfocalix[4]arene (C4m) on an oxide-containing silicon surface is in keeping with its properties, such as chromophore binding and the ability of the immobilized inclusion complex to detect ACh. The unique [Cn.D] complex optical switching paves the way for application in ACh imaging and optoelectronic sensing.     

Spectroscopic studies on the inclusion interaction of p-sulfonatocalix[6]arene with vitamin B6

The formation of the inclusion complex of p-sulfonatocalix[6]arene (SCX6) with different forms of vitamin B₆ (VB₆) was studied by using fluorescence spectroscopy. VB₆ can exist in one of three forms (the acidic form, neutral zwitterionic form and basic form) depending on pH. The fluorescence intensities of acidic and basic forms of VB₆ remarkably decreased in presence of SCX6. SCX6 preferred to form 1:1 inclusion complexes with acidic and basic forms of VB₆ but hardly form inclusion complex with neutral zwitterionic form. According to the nonlinear curve fitting method, the inclusion constant (K) for the formation of inclusion complexes of acidic and basic forms of VB₆ with SCX6 were evaluated to be 1.4?×?10⁴ and 9?×?10³ L/mol, respectively. The binding affinity of SCX6 towards acidic form is attributed to hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interaction, furthermore, additional electrostatic interaction also plays a crucial role. The possible inclusion mode was given by ¹H NMR technique.     

Spectroscopic studies of water-soluble sulfonated calix[6]arene

Fluorescence and absorption studies of water-soluble sulfonated calix[6]arene (SCX6) are reported. Water-soluble calixarenes are potentially useful as host molecules for luminophores, and studies of their spectroscopic characteristics are therefore crucial. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of these molecules in aqueous solution were collected, analyzed, and compared with 4-hydroxybenzene sulfonate at different pHs. A red shift in the absorption spectrum and a change in the fluorescence spectrum of the calixarenes are observed upon an increase in pH from 2.0 to 13.0. Some of these spectroscopic changes are attributed to intramolecular hydrogen bonding between adjacent hydroxyl groups of SCX6 after proton disassociation. The formation of excimers between phenolic groups in the calixarene molecule is proposed. In addition, inner-filter effects of SCX6 are discussed. These inner-filter effects prove to be a disadvantage for the use of SCX6 as a host molecule for complexation studies by use of fluorescence probes whose absorption spectra overlap with those of calixarenes.     

Recognition-mediated contrasting fluorescence behaviour of 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI): probing the pKa of p-sulfonatocalix[4/6]arenes

Abstract

The interaction between a biologically important dye, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and a macrocyclic host, p-sulfonatocalix[6]arene (SCX6) has been investigated using ground-state absorption, steady-state as well as time-resolved fluorescence measurements at two preset pH conditions: 2.5 and 6. Acknowledging the complexation with SCX6 at both the pHs with strong binding, DAPI shows spectral shifts in the absorption and emission spectra; however, strikingly, the fluorescence intensity behaviour is seen contrastingly opposite. At lower pH (~2.5), DAPI displays six-fold intensity, whereas drastic quenching in the fluorescence intensity is recorded at pH 6. Detailed spectroscopic analysis revealed that the SCX6 with phenolate ion stabilised at the lower rim, prevailing at pH 6, efficiently quench the excited state of DAPI, presumably through an electron transfer process, whereas at pH 2.5, the undissociated phenolic groups extend the dye a favourable encapsulation to prevent the excited-state protonation process resulting in remarkable enhancement in the fluorescence. This interesting host–guided fluorescence response with pH is worth as fluorescence on-off switch at lower pH conditions as well as the DAPI system offers a good optical probe for the easy determination of the pK_a of p-sulfonatocalixarenes by visible fluorescence measurements.     

Study on the inclusion interaction of p-sulfonated calix[n]arenes with Vitamin K3 using methylene blue as a spectral probe

The characteristics of host-guest complexation between p-sulfonated calix[n]arene (SCnA, n = 4, 6) and Vitamin K(3) (VK(3)) were investigated by fluorescence spectrometry and absorption spectrometry using methylene blue (MB) as a probe. Interaction with MB and SCnA led to an obvious decrease in fluorescence intensity of MB, accompanying with shifts of emission peaks. Absorption peaks also showed interesting changes; however, when VK(3) was added, fluorescence intensity and absorbance recovered and a slight and slow red shift was observed. The obtained results showed that the inclusion ability of p-sulphonated calix[n]arenes towards VK(3) was the order: p-sulphonated calix[6]arene (SC6A) >p-sulphonated calix[4]arene (SC4A). Relative mechanism was proposed to explain the inclusion process.

Intermolecular Complexation Between p-Sulfonated Calix[4,6,8]arene Sodium and Neutral Red

The inclusion complexation behavior of the dye guest molecule neutral red with three kinds of water-soluble p-sulfonated calix[n]arene sodium (n=4,6,8) was investigated. p-Sulfonated calix[4,6,8]arene sodium (pSC4, pSC6, pSC8) can react with neutral red to form inclusion complexes, which were confirmed by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Fluorescence spectroscopy experiments were performed in pH=4.6 acetic buffer solutions at 25 °C to calculate the stability constants (K _S) for the stoichiometric 1:1 inclusion complexes of pSC4, pSC6 and pSC8 with neutral red. The thermodynamic parameters for the inclusion complexes were determined through a van’t Hoff analysis. Formation of the inclusion complexes of pSC4, pSC6 and pSC8 with neutral red was driven by favorable enthalpic changes with their accompanying negative entropy changes. The complex stability constants monotonically increased with the number of phenolic units in the calixarene ring, which was attributed mainly to electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding, rather than to the cavity size.     

Spectrofluorometric study on the inclusion behavior of p-(p-carboxyl benzeneazo) calix[4]arene with norfloxacin

Spectrofluorometric titrations have been performed to investigate the inclusion behavior of p-(p-carboxyl benzeneazo) calix[4]arene (CBC4A) with norfloxacin (NFLX) in NaAc-HAc buffer solution (pH=5.0). It was found that the fluorescence intensity of NFLX quenched regularly upon the addition of CBC4A. The results indicated 1:1 complex stoichiometry and an association constant of 8.21 x 10(5) L mol(-1) at 20.0 degrees C were calculated by applying a deduced equation. Job's plot also verified the existence of 1:1 inclusion complex. The proposed interaction mechanism indicates that NFLX goes into (or partially goes into) the cavity of CBC4A with the help of hydrogen bonding and other forces. The various factors (pH value, ionic strength, and surfactants) affecting the inclusion process were examined in details.     

Encapsulation of Metronidazole in Biocompatible Macrocycles and Structural Characterization of Its Nano Spray-Dried Nanostructured Composite

Due to the great potential of biocompatible cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) and 4-sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SCX4) macrocycles in drug delivery, the confinement of the pharmaceutically important metronidazole as an ionizable model drug has been systematically studied in these cavitands. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic measurements gave 1.9 × 10⁵ M⁻¹ and 1.0 × 10⁴ M⁻¹ as the association constants of the protonated metronidazole inclusion in CB7 and SCX4, whereas the unprotonated guests had values more than one order of magnitude lower, respectively. The preferential binding of the protonated metronidazole resulted in 1.91 pH unit pK_a diminution upon encapsulation in CB7, but the complexation with SCX4 led to a pK_a decrease of only 0.82 pH unit. The produced protonated metronidazole–SCX4 complex induced nanoparticle formation with protonated chitosan by supramolecular crosslinking of the polysaccharide chains. The properties of the aqueous nanoparticle solutions and the micron-sized solid composite produced therefrom by nano spray drying were unraveled. The results of the present work may find application in the rational design of tailor-made self-assembled drug carrier systems.
