A new synthesized fluorescent probe, 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-(3′,4′-diaminophenyl)-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacence (TMDABODIPY), has been used to detect nitrite. When TMDABODIPY reacted with nitrite, a weak fluorescent triazole formed in 0.2 mol l⁻¹ HCl medium at room temperature. The fluorescence quenching intensity was linear over a nitrite concentration of 0.04–0.32 μmol l⁻¹ with a detection limit of 0.3 nmol l⁻¹ (S/N=3). The proposed method has been applied to the determination of total amount of nitrite and nitrate (reduced by Zn powder) in human serum and urine of health and hypertension persons with recoveries of 91.83–101.80%.     

Spectrofluorimetric determination of trace nitrite in food products with a new fluorescent probe 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-2,6-dicarbethoxy-8-(3',4'-diaminophenyl)-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacene

A new fluorescent probe 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-2,6-dicarbethoxy-8-(3′,4′-diaminophenyl)-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacene (TMDCDABODIPY) has been developed to detect nitrite in meat products and vegetables. The fluorescence of TMDCDABODIPY is very weak, but when it reacts with nitrite, a strong fluorescent triazole forms in aqueous medium at room temperature, which offers the advantage of specificity and sensitivity for the determination of nitrite. The fluorescence intensity was linear over a nitrite concentration of 9-300 nmol l⁻¹ with a detection limit of 0.21 nmol l⁻¹ (S/N = 3). The proposed method has been used for the determination of trace nitrite in food products with the recoveries of 94.62-105.48%.

Development of a novel fluorescent probe for nitric oxide detection: 8-(3',4'-diaminophenyl)-difluoroboradiaza-S-indacence

A novel fluorescent probe, 8-(3',4'-diaminophenyl)-difluoroboradiaza-S-indacence (DABODIPY), was designed and synthesized for monitoring nitric oxide production, which features high photostability and no pH dependency over a wide pH range. The fluorescence of 8-(3',4'-diaminophenyl)-difluoroboradiaza-S-indacence is very low, however, when the probe traps nitric oxide (NO) in the presence of dioxygen, the strong fluorescent triazole form is obtained, which offers the advantages of specificity, and sensitivity for direct detection of NO. Calibration using various concentrations of NO showed the method has good linearity (0.08-4.00 micromol l(-1)) and its detection limit is 10 nmol l(-1) (s/n = 3). The proposed method has been used to monitor the release of NO from S-nitrosocysteine, a NO-releasing agent.

A spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of cysteine at trace and ultra trace levels (0-1.82 x 10(-5) mol l(-1)) has been developed. It is based on the efficient inhibition action of cysteine on the fluorescent system of Cd(II)-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulphonic acid complex (Cd(II)-HQS) (lambda(ex) 364.8 nm, lambda(em) 510.4 nm) solution at pH 8.5.

2-Amino-5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine as a fluorescent reagent for the determination of nitrite

A new fluorescent reagent 2-amino-5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine (ADMND) was proposed for the determination of trace nitrite. The reaction is based on the diazotization of naphthyridine amine with nitrite to form a diazonium salt that hydrolyzed when boiling to give hydroxyl group substituted naphthyridine. Fluorescence quenching degree of ADMND by nitrite ion is linear in the nitrite concentration range of 1 x 10(-7) to 2.5 x 10(-6)mol l(-1) with a detection limit of 4.06 x 10(-8)mol l(-1). Reaction and determination acidity for nitrite is the same which made the method much simpler compared with the widely accepted fluorescence method with DAN as a fluorescence reagent.     

A fluorescence quenching method for the determination of nitrite with Rhodamine 110

A simple and sensitive fluorescence quenching method for the determination of trace nitrite has been developed. The method is based on the reaction of Rhodamine 110 with nitrite in acidic medium to form a new compound, which has much lower fluorescence. The optimum experimental conditions were studied. The linear range was obtained at a nitrite concentration of 1.0 x 10(-8)-3.0 x 10(-7)mol l(-1) with a detection limit of 7.0 x 10(-10) mol l(-1) (S/N=3). The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of nitrite in tap water and lake water without extraction.     

Novel fluorogenic probe for fluoride ion based on the fluoride-induced cleavage of tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether

A highly sensitive and selective fluorogenic probe for fluoride ion, 4-methylumbelliferyl tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether (4-MUTBS), was designed and synthesized. 4-MUTBS was a weakly fluorescent compound and was synthesized via the one-step reaction of 4-MU with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride. Upon incubation with fluoride ion in acetone-water solution (7:3, v/v), the Si-O bond of 4-MUTBS was cleaved and highly fluorescent 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) was released, hence leading to the fluorescence increase of the reaction solution. The fluorescence increase is linearly with fluoride concentration in the range 50-8000 nmol l(-1) with a detection limit of 19 nmol l(-1) (3sigma). Because of the high affinity of silicon toward fluoride ion, the proposed probe shows excellent selectivity toward fluoride ion over other anions. The method has been successfully applied to the fluoride determination in toothpaste and tap water samples.     

Spectrofluorometric determination of kynurenic acid with horseradish peroxidase in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.

The catalytic activity of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide has been investigated for the fluorescent derivatization of kynurenic acid under conditions with no exposure to light. Non-fluorescent kynurenic acid was converted into a fluorescent compound (Ex: 367 nm, Em: 470 nm) with HRP in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, and the optimum conditions of this fluorescent derivatization were investigated. Moreover, this fluorescent derivatization was developed for a spectrofluorometric determination of trace amounts of kynurenic acid by measuring the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent compound. The calibration curve obtained was linear from 1.0 to 10.0 nmol of kynurenic acid in a 1.0 mL sample solution. The relative standard deviation at 5.0 nmol of kynurenic acid was 5.71% (n=5). By adjusting the bandwidths for both the excitation and emission to 15 nm, the calibration curve was also linear in the range between 0.1 to 1.0 nmol of kynurenic acid in a 1.0 mL sample solution. This method was applied to the fluorometric determination of trace amounts of kynurenic acid in the control sera.     

The enhanced electrogenerated chemiluminescence of Ru(bpy)3(2+) by glutathione on a glassy carbon electrode modified with some porphine compounds

It has been found that the electrochemical activity of glutathione was increased greatly at the glassy carbon electrodes modified with 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphine ruthenium(II) carbenyl (RuTPP), meso-tetraphenylporphine copper(II) complex (CuTTP) and hemin. It has been also found that glutathione would enhance the electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of Ru(bpy)3(2+) at a hemin glassy carbon electrode; the enhanced ECL intensity was linear with the concentration of glutathione in the range of 1 x 10(-7)-1 x 10(-4) mol l-1, based on which method for determination of glutathione has been developed. The detection limit of glutathione was 2 x 10(-8) mol l-1, and the relative standard deviation for 1 x 10(-6) mol l-1 glutathione was 2.7%. The mechanism for this ECL system has been proposed.     

Optical biosensing of nitrite ions using cytochrome cd1 nitrite reductase encapsulated in a sol-gel matrix

Nitrite is an important human health and environmental analyte. As such, the European Union (EU) has imposed a limit for nitrite in potable water of 0.1 mg l-1 (2.18 microM). In order to develop an optical biosensing system for the determination of nitrite ions in environmental waters, cytochrome cd1 nitrite reductase has been extracted and purified from the bacterium Paracoccus pantotrophus. The protein has been spectroscopically characterised in solution and important kinetic parameters of nitrite reduction of the cytochrome cd1 enzyme, i.e., Km, Vmax and kcat have been determined. The influence of pH on the activity of the cytochrome cd1 has been investigated and the results suggest that this enzyme can be used for the determination of nitrite in the pH range 6-9. Biosensing experiments with the cytochrome cd1 in solution suggested that the decrease in intensity of the absorption band associated with the d1 haem (which is the nitrite binding site), at 460 nm, with increasing nitrite concentrations would enable the measurement of this analyte with the optimum limit of detection. The cytochrome cd1 has been encapsulated in a bulk sol-gel monolith with no structural changes observed and retention of enzymatic activity. The detection of nitrite ions in the range 0.075-1.250 microM was achieved, with a limit of detection of 0.075 microM. In order to increase the speed of response, a sol-gel sandwich thin film structure was formulated with the cytochrome cd1. This structure enabled the determination of nitrite concentrations within ca. 5 min. The sol-gel sandwich entrapped cytochrome cd1 enzyme was found to be stable for several months when the films were stored at 4 degrees C.     

Kinetics and mechanism of ring transformation of S-[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolidin-2-on-3-yl]isothiuronium bromide to 2-methylimino-5-[2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)ethyl]thiazolidin-4-one

The kinetics and mechanism of transformation reaction of S-[1-(4- methoxyphenyl)pyrrolidin-2-one-3-yl]-N-methyl-isothiuronium bromide into 2-methylimino-5-[2-(4-methoxyphenylamino) ethyl)]thiazolidin-4-one have been studied in aqueous solutions of amine buffers (pH 8.1-11.5) and sodium hydroxide solutions (0.005-0.5 mol l-1) at 25 degrees C and at I = 1 mol l-1 at pseudo-first-order reaction conditions. The kinetics observed shows that the transformation reaction is subject to general base, general acid, and hydroxide-ion catalyses. The rate-limiting step of transformation is the splitting-off a proton from the tetrahedral intermediate In. The value of pKa for S-[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)- pyrrolidin-2-one-3-yl]-N-methylisothiuronium bromide has been determined from the kinetic data (pKa = 8.75 +/- 0.10) and by potentiometric titration (pKa = 8.90 +/- 0.05). With increasing pKa value of the acid buffer component, the value of Br?nsted coefficient beta gradually decreases from about 0.7 to almost zero. The value of pKa approximately 10 for the intermediate to base-catalysed transformation has been found from this dependence. In the N-methylpyrrolidine and triethylamine buffers, the rate-limiting step of transformation is changed into ring opening of In-, and the general-base-catalysed reaction changes into a specific-base-catalysed one.

Ultrasensitive and selective determination of trace amounts of nitrite ion with a novel fluorescence probe mono[6-N(2-carboxy-phenyl)]-β-cyclodextrin

A novel fluorescence probe, mono[6-N(2-carboxy-phenyl)]-β-cyclodextrin (OACCD), has been developed for the determination of trace nitrite, In dilute HCl medium, the fluorescence intensity of the newly synthesized fluorescence probe OACCD was quenched in presence of trace nitrite at room temperature. Based on this, a simple, sensitive, and selective method for rapid determination of nitrite was described. Furthermore, common ions do not interfere the determination of trace amounts of nitrite. The fluorescence quenching intensity was linear over a nitrite concentration of 0.02-1.7 μmol l⁻¹ with a detection limit of 0.2 nmol l⁻¹ (S/N = 3). The method was applied to the determination of nitrite in different water samples, soil samples, and food samples with satisfactory results.     

Design, synthesis and characterization of a novel fluorescent probe for nitric oxide based on difluoroboradiaza-s-indacene fluorophore

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous, free radical, which plays a role as an intracellular second messenger and a diffusible intercellular messenger. To obtain evidence for NO function in vivo, 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-(4'-aminophenyl-N-(2'-amino)-phenzyl)-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacene (TMAPABODIPY) was designed and synthesized as a fluorescent probe for nitric oxide, which features high photostability and no pH dependency over a wide pH range. The fluorescence of TMAPABODIPY itself is very strong. When TMAPABODIPY traps NO in the presence of dioxygen, the weak fluorescent triazole form is obtained, which offers the advantages of specificity, and sensitivity for direct detection of NO. The relationship was obtained between the quenching fluorescence intensity and NO concentration in the range 0.02-4.0 micromol l(-1). The detection limit is 5 nmol l(-1) (S/N = 3). The proposed method has been used to monitor the release of NO from S-nitrosocysteine, a NO-releasing agent.     

Sensitive determination of aliphatic amines by high-performance liquid chromatography with a new fluorogenic probe 3-(4-fluorinebenzoyl)-2-quinoline carboxaldehyde

A new fluorogenic reagent 3-(4-fluorinebenzoyl)-2-quinoline carboxaldehyde (FBQCA) has been synthesized and used as a derivatizing reagent for the determination of aliphatic amines with HPLC. The reagent is nonfluorescent, but forms highly fluorescent isoindole upon the reaction with primary amines in alkaline medium. Eleven amine derivatives were baseline separated in 8 min using a gradient elution on a C(8) column and detected with fluorescence detection at lambda(ex)/lambda(em) = 480/546 nm. The detection limits were in the range of 0.5-2 nM (S/N = 3). The proposed method has been successfully applied to the analysis of aliphatic amines in food and environmental samples, including white wine, soybean oil, soil, and tap water with satisfactory recoveries in the range of 94-106%.     

Photochemical and Acid-Catalyzed Rearrangements of 4-Carbomethoxy-4-methyl-3-(trimethylsilyl)-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one

The synthesis of 4-carbomethoxy-4-methyl-3-(trimethylsilyl)-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one (1) in 60% overall yield from benzaldehyde is described. Irradiation (366 nm) of 1 in benzene solution gave products of type A photorearrangement; e.g., diastereomers of the 4-(trimethylsilyl)- and 5-(trimethylsilyl)bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-en-2-ones 8 and 9. Bicyclohexenones 9a and 9b could not be isolated, but underwent acid-catalyzed protiodesilylative rearrangements on attempted chromatography (silica gel) to give a 1:1 mixture of (E)- and (Z)-4-(carbomethoxymethylmethylene)cyclopent-2-en-1-ones 12 and 13. Irradiation (366 nm) of either 12 or 13 resulted in photoisomerization to a photostationary state that was also a 1:1 mixture. Irradiation of 8a or 8b gave equivalent mixtures of phenols 14 and 15 by way of the type B oxyallyl zwitterion 17. The available experimental evidence suggests that both 9a and 9b undergo regiospecific photorearrangement to phenol 16 with no trace of 3-methyl-4-carbomethoxyphenol (19), the product of ipso substitution of the Me(3)Si group at C(4). Phenol 15 was isolated in 65% yield from the photoreaction of 1 in benzene with 20 equiv of CF(3)CO(2)H. The acid-catalyzed rearrangement of 1 to 3-carbomethoxy-4-methylphenol (21) occurs in 91% yield by way of CO(2)Me group rearrangement to C(3) to give the Me(3)Si-stabilized carbocation 23.
