A Golgi Apparatus-Targeting,Naphthalimide-Based Fluorescent Molecular Probe for the Selective Sensing of Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde (FA) is a colorless, flammable, foul-smelling chemical used in building materials and in the production of numerous household chemical goods. Herein, a fluorescent chemosensor for FA is designed and prepared using a selective organ-targeting probe containing naphthalimide as a fluorophore and hydrazine as a FA-binding site. The amine group of the hydrazine reacts with FA to form a double bond and this condensation reaction is accompanied by a shift in the absorption band of the probe from 438 nm to 443 nm upon the addition of FA. Further, the addition of FA is shown to enhance the emission band at 532 nm relative to the very weak fluorescent emission of the probe itself. Moreover, a high specificity is demonstrated towards FA over other competing analytes such as the calcium ion (Ca²⁺), magnesium ion (Mg²⁺), acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, glucose, glutathione, sodium sulfide (Na₂S), sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and the tert-butylhydroperoxide radical. A typical two-photon dye incorporated into the probe provides intense fluorescence upon excitation at 800 nm, thus demonstrating potential application as a two-photon fluorescent probe for FA sensing. Furthermore, the probe is shown to exhibit a fast response time for the sensing of FA at room temperature and to facilitate intense fluorescence imaging of breast cancer cells upon exposure to FA, thus demonstrating its potential application for the monitoring of FA in living cells. Moreover, the presence of the phenylsulfonamide group allows the probe to visualize dynamic changes in the targeted Golgi apparatus. Hence, the as-designed probe is expected to open up new possibilities for unique interactions with organ-specific biological molecules with potential application in early cancer cell diagnosis.

Mechanistic Investigation on Chemiluminescent Formaldehyde Probes

A first-generation pair of chemiluminescent formaldehyde (FA) probes (CFAP540 and CFAP700) was reported recently. CFAP540 and CFAP700, with high selectivity and sensitivity to FA, are, respectively, suitable in cell and in vivo. Experimentalists have confirmed that both probes utilize a general 2-aza-Cope FA-reactive trigger and a chemiluminogenic phenoxydioxetane scaffold. The mechanism and detailed process of CFAP chemiluminescence (CL) remain largely unknown. In the present paper, (time-dependent) density functional theory calculations are performed on the entire reaction process of CFAP540 with FA to produce CL. The calculations elucidated the CL-producing process: FA initiates the decomposition of CFAP540 by dehydration condensation, and a phenoxy 1,2-dioxetane is formed through a series of reactions of aza-Cope rearrangement, hydrolysis of imine, and β-elimination of alkoxyl group. Afterwards, the produced phenoxy 1,2-dioxetane decomposes to produce the m-oxybenzoate derivative in the first singlet state (S₁) via two crossings between potential energy surfaces of the ground state (S₀) and S₁ state. This m-oxybenzoate derivative was assigned as the light emitter of the CFAP540 CL. The CL-producing process and assignment of the light emitter of CFAP700 CL are similar with the corresponding ones of CFAP540. By analyzing the D-π-A architecture of the light emitters of CFAP540 and CFAP700, a series of CFAPs is theoretically designed and a scheme to modulate their CL from visible to near-infrared region is proposed by adjusting the length and structure of the π-bridge.
