Exploitation of reversed micelles as a medium in mimetic peroxidase-catalyzed fluorogenic reaction between hydrogen peroxide and l-tyrosine

The peroxidase activity of mimetic enzyme, iron tetrasulfonatophthalocyanine (FeTSPc), was characterized in reversed micelles of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) formed in n-heptane-n-pentanol solution (2:1, V:V). The assay is based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation reaction of l-tyrosine (l-tyr) by hydrogen peroxide. The influences of environmental factors, such as the water content, CTAB concentration and pH, on the peroxidase activity of FeTSPc were investigated. It was observed that the reaction rate was distinctly enhanced in CTAB reversed micelles as compared with the rate in aqueous solution. Under optimum conditions, application of the FeTSPc-catalyzed fluorescence system in reversed micelles to the determination of H(2)O(2) and FeTSPc led to a highly sensitive system compared with that in aqueous solution, permitting detection limits of 5x10(-9) mol l(-1) H(2)O(2) and 2.3x10(-9) mol l(-1) FeTSPc. The advantages and limitations of employing the reversed micellar media in such mimetic peroxidase-catalyzed fluorescent detection schemes were discussed.     

Measurement of the peroxidation of Brji-35 in aqueous solution by hemin and horseradish peroxidase catalyzed fluorogenic reaction

The non-ionic surfactant Brij-35 can easily be oxidized in solution by dissolved oxygen upon light radiation during its storage. Various factors, such as light radiation, temperature, pH, ionic strength as well as dissolved oxygen influencing the stability of Brij-35 were studied. The results showed that light radiation is the most important factor inducing the oxidation by the dissolved oxygen. The oxidized product was confirmed, indirectly, to be the peroxide of Brij-35 based on a number of evidences. The extent of the oxidation can be traced by a peroxidase or hemin catalyzed fluorogenic reaction with p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid as a substrate. The concentration of the peroxide in a Brij-35 solution (0.8%, w/v) stored at room temperature for a month is in the range of 9 × 10^–5 mol/L.

Synergistic enhancement of the horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of luminol by 4-substituted phenylboronic acids

Combinations of 4-substituted phenylboronic acids [phenyl, iodo, bromo, and trans-4-(3-propenoic acid) substituents] have been discovered to have synergistic effects in the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalyzed chemiluminescent oxidation of luminol. Three types of effect have been observed: 1. synergistic reduction in the background light emission of a luminol-peroxide assay reagent to a value lower than the background obtained with either enhancer individually; 2. increase in signal to background ratio (S B ) in the presence of HRP to a value higher than the S B obtained with either enhancer individually (synergy) or to a value higher than the combined S B obtained with each enhancer (synergistic enhancement); and 3. for some combinations of enhancers, an increase in signal in the presence of HRP to a value higher than the signal obtained with either enhancer individually (synergy), or to a value higher than the combined signal obtained with each enhancer (synergistic enhancement). The magnitude of the effect was moderate but the synergistic decreases in background and increases in signal produced increases in S B up to four-fold. Examples of synergistic pairs of enhancers included 4-biphenyl and 4-bromophenylboronic acid; 4-biphenyl and 4-iodophenylboronic acid; and trans-4-(3-propenoic acid) and 4-iodophenylboronic acid. Generally, synergy was obtained at several concentrations of all of the combinations of enhancers tested, and at different time points in the reaction due to the different light emission kinetics of the enhanced reactions. The mechanism of this synergistic effect has not been elucidated but may involve the enhancers acting at different points in the complex chemiluminescent peroxidase catalyzed oxidation reaction.     

A photo-induced fluorogenic reaction for the detection of catecholamine-O-sulfates

Catecholamine-O-sulfates react with 1,2-diaminoethane to give fluorescent products if exposed to u.v. irradiation (312 nm) in the presence of oxygen. The fluoresence spectra of the reaction mixtures are similar to those obtained form the fress catecholamines and diaminoethane, indicating that the reaction proceeds by photo-cleavage of the O-sulfate bond, followed by reaction of the free catecholamine withdiaminoethane and oxygen. The factors that affect the reaction are described. After a 40-min irradiation of the catecholamine-O-sulfates in 0.71 M diaminoethane solution at 7°C, the intensities compared to those generated from free catecholamines were 46% for dopamine-3-O-sulfate, 84% for dopamine-4-O-sulfate, 42% for norepinephrine-3-O-suflate, 50% for nonrepinephrine-4-O-sulfate, 64% for epinephrine-3-O-sulfate and 136% for epinephrine-4-O-sulfate.

Chromogenic and fluorogenic detection of copper ions in the solution and intracellular media

The development of a fluorescent sensor for the trace detection of the metallic contamination in the ecosystem and biological media have been a demand to reduce the health risk and environmental protection. Herein, we report the synthesis of 2‐formyl‐5‐picolinyl‐substituted rhodamine B derivative through Schiff base formation for the trace detection of the copper ions in the aqueous organic media as well as inside the live cells via bioimaging experiments. The ligand was successfully employed to detect the minute copper level ratiometrically through the chromogenic and fluorogenic response. The detection limit of the sensor was found to be 0.54 × 10^?9 mol/L using 3 σ/slope relations. The reversible behavior of the ligand copper complex was determined using sulfide ions that regenerate the entire native properties of the ligands by snatching copper from the complex. The bioimaging experimental results represent the efficient membrane permeability of ligands with the minimum level of toxicity in the measured range found by the MTT assay. The appearance of bright red fluorescence from the BHK‐21 (hamster kidney fibroblast) cells upon treatment of the ligand incubated cells with the copper ions represents the utility of the proposed sensor for the copper detection probe in the intracellular media.     

A fluorogenic ‘click’ reaction of azidoanthracene derivatives

Fluorogenic reactions have broad applications in biolabeling, combinatorial synthesis of fluorescent dyes, and materials development. It was recently reported that the highly selective and efficient Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction can be employed in designing new types of fluorogenic reactions. In this study, we report a fluorogenic reaction using anthracene azides as starting materials. The fluorescence of the anthryl core can be greatly inhibited upon introducing electron-donating azido groups in the proximity. Such weakly fluorescent anthracene azides demonstrate high reactivity with a variety of alkynes under the CuAAC conditions producing a strongly fluorescent triazole product with high quantum yields. This reaction can be used in the synthesis and screening of fluorescent dyes combinatorially. Compared with most existing methods, the fluorogenic CuAAC reaction is a much milder and simpler technique to prepare large libraries of fluorescent dyes without further purification. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of using anthracene azides for biolabeling applications, both small molecules and biomolecules including the multialkyne-derivatized cowpea mosaic virus and tobacco mosaic virus had been studied.

A fluorogenic 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 3-azidocoumarins and acetylenes

Copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of nonfluorescent 3-azidocoumarins and terminal alkynes afforded intense fluorescent 1,2,3-triazole products. The mild condition of this reaction allowed us to construct a large library of pure fluorescent coumarin dyes. Since both azide and alkyne are quite inert to biological systems, this reaction has potential in bioconjugation and bioimaging applications. [reaction: see text]     

The radiation-induced inactivation and post irradiation effects of horseradish peroxidase solution

The radiation-induced inactivation of horseradish peroxidase in dilute aqueous solutions has been studied. It has been found that inactivation is due to reactions of enzyme molecules with both e _aq ^– and OH radicals, the destructive effect of the latter is enhanced by oxygen. Post irradiation recovery of enzyme activity has been also observed.     

Investigations of the catalytic properties of manganese oxides for the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was studied in KOH electrolyte on different manganese oxides, dispersed on a carbon powder (MnO_x/C). The oxides were prepared by different methods, for producing MnO, Mn₃O₄ and MnO₂ as major phases dispersed on the Vulcan XC-72 carbon. The oxides were characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and in situ XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure). The electrochemical measurements were made using cyclic voltammetry and steady state polarization curves carried out in an ultra-thin layer rotating ring/disk electrode. The results have shown lower activity for the ORR on the MnO_x/C species compared to that on Pt/C, but higher activity compared to that of pure Vulcan carbon. Formation of involving 2e⁻ per O₂ molecule is the main path of the ORR in the studied MnO_x/C catalysts but, at low overpotentials and rotation rates the number of electrons is raised to 4 due to the occurrence of a disproportionation reaction. Large differences of electrocatalytic activity were seen for the different oxide species, and these were related to the presence of a Mn(IV) phase and the occurrence of a mediation processes involving the reduction of Mn(IV) to Mn(III), followed by the electron transfer of Mn(III) to oxygen.     

The oxidation-reduction reaction of dicyclopentadienyltitanium complexes in aprotic media

Dicyclopentadienyltitanium(III) tetrahydridoborate, (π-Cp)₂ TiBH₄, is formed in aprotic solvents by the reaction of dicyclopentadienyltitanium(IV) dichloride, (π-Cp)₂TiCl₂, with the tetrahydridoborate anion. The presence of traces of water in the reaction medium causes formation of an intensely blue compound, probably an aquotitanium(III) complex. It is suggested that the oxidation of (π-Cp)₂ TiBH₄ with oxygen and reduction of the resulting titanium(IV) compound with LiBH₄ are reversible processes. The one-electron oxidation of (π-Cp)₂TiBH₄ produces oxygen radicals, which can initiate homogeneous hydrogeneation of olefins.     

Fluorescence detection of coralyne and polyadenylation reaction using an oligonucleotide-based fluorogenic probe

This study describes the development of a simple, sensitive, and selective-detection system for coralyne and polyadenylation reaction based on the fact that coralyne induces a conformational change of the polyadenosine [poly(A)] oligonucleotide through A-coralyne-A coordination, thereby enhancing the fluorescence of SYBR Green I.     

The effects of primary amine catalyzed thio-acrylate Michael reaction on the kinetics, mechanical and physical properties of thio-acrylate networks

Thio-acrylate networks were prepared using two methods. The first method involved the in-situ photopolymerization of a multifunctional thiol mixed with a multifunctional acrylate in the presence of a photoinitiator (photo-cure only), while the second method utilized an extremely efficient thio-acrylate Michael reaction followed by the photopolymerization of unreacted acrylate functional groups (amine catalysis/photo-cure). The thio-acrylate Michael reaction was catalyzed by a primary amine that promoted a rapid 1-to-1 Michael addition reaction of thiol to acrylate. Kinetic analysis via real-time infrared (RTIR) spectroscopy verified the 1-to-1 addition, the rates of the thio-acrylate Michael reaction and the total incorporation of the thiol into the networks at various concentrations when the amine catalyst was used. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) data show very narrow glass transition temperatures for the networks prepared when the amine catalysis/photo-cure sequence was used. The two step sequential process can be used to target network films that can be tailored to have high energy damping properties at a given temperature, e.g., room temperature. Finally, in all cases, whether the photo-cure only or the amine catalysis/photo-cure process was used, the glass transition temperature increased with the initial acrylate feed concentration.     

Salt effects on the Baylis-Hillman reaction

The Baylis-Hillman reaction is shown to accelerate in salt solutions of water and the ‘water-like’ structured solvents, like formamide and N-methylformamide in the presence of DABCO. Ethylene glycol, another structured solvent and its salt solutions fail to make any impact on the reaction rates. The salts that are conventionally defined as salting-out or -in do not behave in a similar fashion, when employed in the Baylis-Hillman reactions. The results are supported by solubility measurements. It seems that the cation, anion, nature of solvent and of reactants together ascertain whether a salt will enhance or retard the Baylis-Hillman reaction.
