BSA-tetraphenylethene derivative conjugates with aggregation-induced emission properties: fluorescent probes for label-free and homogeneous detection of protease and α1-antitrypsin

Herein, BSA-tetraphenylethene derivative conjugates with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties were constructed and used as fluorescent probes for label-free detection of protease and α1-antitrypsin. Conjugated AIE probes were formed based on the electrostatic induced assembly between an ammonium cation of quaternized tetraphenylethene salt and carboxyl anion groups of BSA. While water soluble quaternized tetraphenylethene salt showed very low fluorescence in its well-dispersed state, obvious enhancement in the fluorescence of the aggregated tetraphenylethene derivative on the BSA templates was achieved due to the abnormal aggregation-induced emission properties of tetraphenylethene. These BSA-tetraphenylethene derivative conjugates enabled label-free detection of protease. In the presence of trypsin, the BSA templates were enzymatically hydrolyzed and the conjugates decomposed. Therefore the quaternized tetraphenylethene molecules became increasingly isolated from each other. Accordingly, the aggregation to dispersing state change of tetraphenylethene derivative resulted in an obvious decrease in the fluorescence of the conjugates probes and enabled the sensitive and selective detection of trypsin. Furthermore, upon addition of α1-antitrypsin, the enzymatic activity of trypsin was inhibited and the fluorescence was consequently preserved. Sensitive detection of α1-antitrypsin was thus realised. The protein-tetraphenylethene derivative conjugates with aggregation-induced emission properties therefore show great promise for the monitoring of biological processes and cancer diagnostics with simplicity, high sensitivity, and rapid response.     

Photochromic dithienylethene derivatives containing Ru(II) or Os(II) metal units. Sensitized photocyclization from a triplet state

Efficient photocyclization from a low-lying triplet state is reported for a photochromic dithienylperfluorocyclopentene with Ru(bpy)3 units attached via a phenylene linker to the thiophene rings. The ring-closure reaction in the nanosecond domain is sensitized by the metal complexes. Upon photoexcitation into the lowest Ru-to-bpy 1MLCT state followed by intersystem crossing to emitting 3MLCT states, photoreactive 3IL states are populated by an efficient energy-transfer process. The involvement of these 3IL states explains the quantum yield of the photocyclization, which is independent of the excitation wavelength but decreases strongly in the presence of dioxygen. This behavior differs substantially from the photocyclization of the nonemissive dithienylperfluorocyclopentene free ligand, which occurs from the lowest 1IL state on a picosecond time scale and is insensitive to oxygen quenching. Cyclic voltammetric studies have also been performed to gain further insight into the energetics of the system. The very high photocyclization quantum yields, far above 0.5 in both cases, are ascribed to the strong steric repulsion between the bulky substituents on the dithienylperfluorocyclopentene bridge bearing the chelating bipyridine sites or the Ru(bpy)3 moieties, forcing the system to adopt nearly exclusively the reactive antiparallel conformation. In contrast, replacement of both Ru(II) centers by Os(II) completely prevents the photocyclization reaction upon light excitation into the low-lying Os-to-bpy 1MLCT state. The photoreaction can only be triggered by optical population of the higher lying 1IL excited state of the central photochromic unit, but its yield is low due to efficient energy transfer to the luminescent lowest 3MLCT state.     

Construction of polyaromatics via photocyclization of 2-(fur-3-yl)ethenylarenes,using a 3-furyl group as an isopropenyl equivalent synthon

The construction of different types of substituted arenes was demonstrated through the photocyclization of 2-(fur-3-yl)ethenylarenes using a 3-furyl group as an isopropenyl equivalent synthon in the photocyclization reaction. The furan portion of the photocyclization intermediate could be fragmented via a base-induced elimination reaction to yield a series of substituted polyaromatics, including naphthalene, benzofuran, benzothiophene, phenanthrene, phenalene, acenaphthene, and triphenylene. Using different reagents, this method made it possible to introduce methyl or 2-hydroxyethyl groups as substituents at specific positions in these arenes.     

Photochemical Studies on 5‐Methylbicyclo[1.1.1]pentane Derivatives: p‐Orbital Overlap Controlled Enantioselectivity

The first example of the p‐orbital overlap controlled enantioselectivity of Norrish type II photocyclization reaction was described. Irradiation of 5‐methyl bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanyl ketone with UV in the solid state as well as in the acetonitrile solution afforded the Norrish/Yang photocyclization compound as the sole product. Solid‐state asymmetric photochemical studies using ionic chiral auxiliary technique led to the enantioselectivity as high as 60%. The results were rationalized by X‐ray single crystal structure.     

Studies on the photochromic mechanism of 1,2-dimethyl-5-phenyl-3-pyrryl succinic anhydride

Photochromism of 1,2-dimethyl-5-phenyl-3-pyrryl fulgide (compound I) has been investigated in various solvents. The photocyclization process of I has been examined by means of nanosecond time resolved absorption spectroscopy; a new transient species was found on the nanosecond time scale. Oxygen can severely quench the new transient species. The photocyclization process is shown to be complicated. Both the excited singlet state and the excited triplet state are involved in the photochromic process.     

Dendron-containing tetraphenylethylene compounds: dependence of fluorescence and photocyclization reactivity on the dendron generation

The synthesis and characterization of four dendron-containing tetraphenylethylenes (TPEs), 1(1)-1(4), were synthesized, along with a TPE compound that contained four OCH(2) Ph groups (referred to as 1(0)) for comparison. Photophysical studies revealed that the TPE core became emissive after linking dendrons onto its periphery. Moreover, the fluorescence intensity was significantly enhanced when high-generation dendrons were linked onto the TPE core; the fluorescence intensity increased in the following order: 1(1)<1(2)<1(3)<1(4). This phenomenon was tentatively attributed to an enhancement in the energy barrier for internal rotation and torsion of the TPE core to which four dendrons were connected. In addition, the photocyclization of the TPE core into the respective 9,10-diphenylphenanthrene was facilitated when high-generation dendrons were linked to the TPE core. Again, the photocycliztion reactivity increased in the following order: 1(1)<1(2)<1(3)<1(4). We found that the fluorescence and photocyclization reactivity of TPE could be modulated by covalent interactions with dendrons, and such modulation was strongly dependent on the dendron-generation.     

Photocyclization reaction of a diarylmaleimide derivative in polar solvents

Photochromism of a symmetric diarylmaleimide derivative, having two thiophene rings (1), and a non-symmetric derivative having a S,S-dioxide thiophene ring and a thiophene ring (2) as the aryl moieties, was studied in various solvents. The photocyclization quantum yield of gradually decreased with increasing the solvent polarity and the reaction was not observed in polar solvents, such as ethanol and acetonitrile; on the other hand, such a strong solvent dependence of the photocyclization reaction was not observed for ; the different behavior is attributed to the weaker electron donating ability of the S,S-dioxide thiophene ring.     

Adiabatic <Emphasis Type="Italic">trans-cis</Emphasis> photoisomerization and photocyclization of 8-styrylquinoline

Kinetics of the photocyclization of trans-8-styrylquinoline into 10a,10b-dihydronaphtho[1,2-h]quinoline (4-azachrysene) was studied in hexane. It was found that in addition to the expected two-step (two-quantum) route with trans-cis photoisomerization occurring in the first step with a quantum yield of φ_tc = 0.13 with consequent photocyclization of the cis-isomer with a quantum yield of 0.23. The direct singlequantum photocyclization of the trans-isomer with a quantum yield of 0.009 is also observed. The latter observation indicates that the excited trans-isomer isomerizes without loss of excitation to the excited cis-isomer, which then undergoes cyclization, i.e., the trans-cis photoisomerization proceeds partially by adiabatic mechanism t* → c*.     

Quantum-chemical study of aza derivatives of styrylnaphthalenes and their photocyclization products

Quantum-chemical calculation of 1- and 2-styrylnaphthalenes and their aza derivatives 2- and 4-styrylquinolines were carried out by the DFT B3LYP/6-31G* method. The relative stability of the products of their photoisomerization, (E)- and (Z)-isomers and of the photocyclization products, the corresponding derivatives of dihydrophenanthrene (DHP), was calculated. It has been shown that, by the DHP stability, the diarylethylenes in question are divided into two groups in qualitative agreement with experimental data on their photochemical activity in the photocyclization reaction.
