Synthesis and fluorescent properties of bi- and tricyclic 4-N-carbamoyldeoxycytidine derivatives

New bi- and tricyclic deoxycytidine derivatives (dChpd, dCmpp, dCtpp, dCppp) were synthesized as analogues of a fluorescent nucleoside, dChpp, previously reported. The carbamoyl group of dChpd and the 5-position of the cytosine ring are bridged via an ethylene linker so that the modified group forms a nonplanar structure with the cytosine ring. The fluorescent study of dChpd indicated that the coplanar structure between the carbamoyl group and the cytosine ring is of importance. N-Methylation of the carbamoyl group (dCmpp) weakened the intensity of the fluorescence of dChpp, and the derivative (dCtpp), which had a thiocarbamoyl group, lost its fluorescent property. Moreover, addition of a pyrrolo-ring (dCppp) to dChpp enhanced the intensity of fluorescence, and an emission light was observed with a marked Stokes shift of 120 nm.     

Synthesis and fluorescence sensing properties of a new naphthalimide derivative of calix[4]arene

A new naphthalimide derivative of calix[4]arene was synthesized as a highly selective fluorescent compound for Cu²⁺ among the selected metal ions.

Synthesis of a solvent-sensitive highly fluorescent derivative of perfluorocyclopentene

A solvent-sensitive highly fluorescent compound, N-[2-(1′,3′,4′,4′,5′,5′-hexafluorocyclopentenyl)]-4-(5-methoxy-thiazolyl)pyridine (1D) was synthesized as an unexpected product of the reaction of 4-bromo-5-methoxy-2-(4-pyridyl)thiazole (1B) with perfluorocyclopentene in the presence of n-BuLi. Primary mechanism of this reaction was proposed, and the photophysical properties of 1D in different solvents were studied.     

Synthesis, structure and unique reactivity of the ethylzinc derivative of a bicyclic guanidine

An equimolar reaction between ZnEt(2) and 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidine (hppH) results in the formation of EtZn(hpp) (1) which crystallizes as a trinuclear agglomerate with the guanidinate ligands spanning 4-coordinate Zn centers. Exposure of a pre-formed THF solution of 1 to undried air leads to a ZnO-incorporating derivative 1(4)·ZnO, while an analogous experiment with CH(2)Cl(2) as solvent leads to a novel tetranuclear mixed aggregate formulated as [EtOZn(hpp)](2)[ClZn(hpp)](2) (2). The composition of 2 indicates that its formation proceeds via a complex multi-step reaction route that involves not only the oxygenation of ZnEt moieties, but also the activation of CH(2)Cl(2), causing the transfer of a chloride anion to the Zn center. Compounds were characterized by (1)H NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Synthesis and physicochemical properties of new fluorescent derivatives of cytosine

Sixteen new fluorescent N⁴‐(E)‐stilbenyloxyalkylcarbonyl‐cytosines 9–16 and N⁴‐(E)‐stilbenyloxyalkylcarbonyl‐1‐methylcytosines 17–24 have been synthesized. The differences in ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra in two solvents (DMSO and TFA) have been pointed out and discussed. Assignment of the signals in the spectra of the compounds 9–24 in NMR in DMSO‐d₆ solutions has been made the basis of the homonuclear (COSY) and heteronuclear (HETCOR) spectra. The effect of the substituent (Cl, Br, NO₂) on the stilbene moiety on the fluorescence spectrum of each compound has been discussed.

DNA-binding properties studies and spectra of a novel fluorescent Zn(II) complex with a new chromone derivative

A new chromone derivative (6-ethoxy chromone-3-carbaldehyde benzoyl hydrazone) ligand (L) and its two transition metal complexes [Zn(II) complex and Ni(II) complex] have been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, molar conductivity, mass spectra, UV–vis spectra and IR spectra. The Zn(II) complex exhibits light blue fluorescence under UV light, and the fluorescent properties of Zn(II) complex and the ligand in solid state and in different solutions (MeOH, DMF, THF and H₂O) were investigated. In addition, the interactions of the Zn(II) complex and the ligand with calf thymus DNA were investigated using UV–vis absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroic spectral methods and viscosity measurement. It was founded that both two compounds, especially the Zn(II) complex, strongly bind with calf thymus DNA, presumably via an intercalation mechanism.     

Synthesis of a fluorescent 14-crown-4 derivative bearing a proton-dissociable moiety and its use for selective lithium-ion extraction

The fluorescent 14-crown-4 derivative possesses a p-(1,8-naphthalenedicarboxi-mido) phenol moiety as the proton -dissociable fluorophore; its synthesis is described. Highly selective extraction of lithium is achieved with the crown ether, based on a proton/metal ion-exchange mechanism. Extraction is accompanied by significant changes in the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the organic phase. Extraction equilibrium constants for the lithium and sodium ions are evaluated, the Li⁺/Na⁺ selectivity ratio being 200; other alkali metal ions were not extracted. The Li⁺ extraction quenched the fluorescence intensity of the crown ether, in correlation with the initial cation concentration in the aqueous phase.     

Synthesis of a fluorescent xanthenic derivative useful for labeling amine residues

The 2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl-4-(3-hydroxy-6-oxo-6H-xanthen-9-yl)-3-methylbenzoate has been synthesized as an amine-reactive derivative able to yield stable covalently labeled biopolymers. The new derivative has been used to label polyribocytidilic acid (5'), poly(C), amine residues. TG-II-poly(C) exhibits monoexponential decay at the physiological pH range. In addition, both steady-state fluorescence intensity and fluorescence decay are also sensitive to solution pH. The large decrease in steady-state fluorescence upon hybridization allows it to be used as a nucleic acid probe in a homogeneous assay format. In summary, we report an efficient synthesis to obtain labeled RNA from commercially available materials in excellent yields.     

Synthesis and fluorescence properties of new fluorescent, polymerizable, metal-chelating lipids

Liposomes incorporating fluorescent, metal-chelating lipids find applications in molecular recognition of peptides, 2D protein recrystallization, protein targeting, and biological sensing. It would be advantageous to combine the usefulness of polymerizable, metal-chelating lipids and fluorescent lipids. Herein, we report the synthesis and fluorescence properties of several fluorescent, polymerizable, metal-chelating lipids. They have been successfully incorporated into liposomes and then polymerized. These lipids can be used as membrane probes to study the polymerizable liposomes in the unpolymerized state and to investigate lipid redistribution during polymerization. In addition, if a luminescent metal ion (e.g., Eu(3+), Tb(3+), etc.) is used to complex the headgroup, the lipids can probe the membrane interior and exterior simultaneously.     

Synthesis of new potentially bioactive bicyclic 2-pyridones

Three convenient methods of reduction of the nitro group of 5-nitroimidazoles and 5-nitrothiazole that bear a diethylmethylene malonate group in an ortho-like position with respect to the nitro group and cyclization of the resulting amino derivatives are reported. These reactions afforded the target bicyclic 2-pyridones in good to excellent yields.     

Tripyrrindiones and a red-emitting fluorescent derivative

Abstract  

Orange-colored 7,8-dimethyl-2,3,12,13-tetramethoxy-(15H,17H)-tripyrrin-1,14-dione and its 2,3,7,8,12,13-hexaethyl analog were synthesized and converted to fluorescent derivatives by bridging a lactam nitrogen to the adjacent pyrrole nitrogen in a reaction with carbonyldiimidazole. The tripyrrindiones were also converted to the corresponding mono lactim methyl ethers by reaction with neat trimethylphosphite, and a corresponding difluoroboryl (BODIPY) derivative was made from the lactim by reaction with boron trifluoride etherate. X-ray structures of the tetramethoxytripyrrindione, the N,N′-carbonyl-bridged hexa-ethyltripyrrindione, and the lactim methyl ether of the hexa-ethyltripyrrindione were determined. The N,N′-bridged pigments exhibited very large Stokes’ shifts with fluorescence quantum yields ranging from 1.0 to 0.02.
