Novel Coumarin-based Fluorescent Probe for Selective Detection of Bisulfite Anion in Water

Coumarins and its analogues have been widely used as chromophore in design of fluorescent probe, while less coumarin‐based fluorescent probe was reported for detection of anion in water. In this article, coumarin‐based fluorescent probes with salicylaldehyde functionality as recognition unit have been developed for selective detection of bisulfite anions in water. Four novel fluorescent probes were synthesized from 4‐haloresorcinol in three steps. The chemoprobe exhibited selective response to bisulfite over other anions. Moreover, the detection mechanism was studied. Upon bisulfite added, the fluorescent intensity of the probes was enhanced highly due to the nucleophilic addition reaction of formyl group with bisulfite anion.     

香豆素类比率荧光探针的合成及其对亚硫酸盐与硫化氢的区分检测

基于迈克尔加成反应和分子内电荷转移机理设计合成了一个比率型荧光探针MSP,并将其用于对亚硫酸盐和硫化氢的区分检测。强吸电子基团丙二腈的引入,使得探针的吸收和发射波长红移,同时极大地提高了探针与亚硫酸盐的反应速率,实现了对亚硫酸盐的快速检测。当反应时间延长至3 h时,硫化氢的存在使得探针的荧光波长蓝移至510 nm且强度显著增强,探针在两个波长下的荧光比率(I510/I690)增强约260倍,实现了在不同响应时间和不同光谱通道区分检测亚硫酸盐与硫化氢的目的。该探针具有良好的选择性和竞争性,可分别利用吸收强度比值(A464/A572)和荧光强度比值(I510/I690)定量检测亚硫酸盐和硫化氢,两者检出限分别为0.95μmol/L和0.6μmol/L。该探针还能用于对活细胞内亚硫酸盐和硫化氢的荧光成像。     

A Highly Selective Turn-On Fluorescent Probe for the Detection of Zinc

A novel turn-on fluorescence probe L has been designed that exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity with a detection limit of 9.53 × 10⁻⁸ mol/L for the quantification of Zn²⁺. ¹H-NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the unsymmetrical nature of the structure of the Schiff base probe L. An emission titration experiment in the presence of different molar fractions of Zn²⁺ was used to perform a Job’s plot analysis. The results showed that the stoichiometric ratio of the complex formed by L and Zn²⁺ was 1:1. Moreover, the molecular structure of the mononuclear Cu complex reveals one ligand L coordinates with one Cu atom in the asymmetric unit. On adding CuCl₂ to the ZnCl₂/L system, a Cu-Zn complex was formed and a strong quenching behavior was observed, which inferred that the Cu²⁺ displaced Zn²⁺ to coordinate with the imine nitrogen atoms and hydroxyl oxygen atoms of probe L.     

Intramolecular Charge Transfer (ICT) Based Two-photon Fluorescent Probe for Bisulfite with Bioimaging Applications

Abstract

A two-photon fluorescent probe has been adopted for bisulfite based on an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. The fluorescence intensity of the probe decreased by 837 fold following treatment with HSO₃^? and the detection limit was 42?nM. This probe showed excellent properties such as high photostability, good two-photon properties, and large Stokes shifts. More importantly, this approach offers a rapid, highly selective, and sensitive method to determine HSO₃^? in buffer solutions and real samples. Furthermore, the probe was successfully used for two-photon fluorescence visualization of trace SO₂ derivatives in biological systems.

An ESIPT-Based Ratiometric Fluorescent Probe for Highly Sensitive and Rapid Detection of Sulfite in Living Cells

The novel ratiometric fluorescent probe HPQRB with an ESIPT effect based on Michael addition for highly sensitive and fast detection of sulfite in living HepG2 cells is reported. HPQRB can be easily synthesized by a two-step condensation reaction. HPQRB has a large emission shift (Δλ=116 nm), which is beneficial for fluorescence imaging research, and its sulfite-responsive site is based on a rhodamine-like structure with the emission peak at 566 nm, which decreases with increasing sulfite concentration. and its HPQ structure always has an ESIPT effect throughout the reaction process, keeping the emission peak at 450 nm as a self-reference. In particular, HPQRB has high selectivity for sulfite and responds quickly (within 30 s) with a low detection limit (44 nM). Furthermore, HPQRB has been successfully used for fluorescence imaging of sulfite in HepG2 cells, demonstrating the superior ability to detect sulfite under physiological conditions.     

A Novel Fluorescence Probe for the Reversible Detection of Bisulfite and Hydrogen Peroxide Pair in Vitro and in Vivo

The detection of changes in the reactive oxygen species (ROS)/reactive sulfur species (RSS) couple is important for studying the cellular redox state. Herein, we developed a 1,8-naphthalimide-based fluorescence probe ( NI ) for the reversible detection of bisulfite (HSO₃⁻) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in vitro and in vivo. NI has been designed with a reactive ethylene unit which specifically reacts with HSO₃⁻ by a Michael addition reaction mechanism, resulting in the quenching of yellow fluorescence at 580 nm and the appearing of green fluorescence at 510 nm upon excitation at 500 nm and 430 nm, respectively. The addition product ( NI−HSO₃ ) could be specifically oxidized to form the original C=C bond of NI , recovering the fluorescence emission and color. The detection limits of NI for HSO₃⁻ and NI−HSO₃ for H₂O₂ were calculated to be 2.05 μM and 4.23 μM, respectively. The reversible fluorescence response of NI towards HSO₃⁻/H₂O₂ couple can be repeated for at least five times. NI is reliable at a broad pH range (pH 3.0–11.5) and features outstanding selectivity, which enabled its practical applications in biological and food samples. Monitoring the reversible and dynamic inter-conversion between HSO₃⁻ and H₂O₂ in vitro and in vivo has been verified by fluorescence imaging in live HeLa cells, adult zebrafish and nude mice. Moreover, NI has been successfully applied to detect of HSO₃⁻ levels in food samples.
