A New ESIPT Fluorescent Dye-Doped Silica Aerogel

Summary: A silyl-functionalized benzazole dye, fluorescent by excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism, was synthesized by reacting 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole with 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate. The fluorescent silica gel was prepared by the addition of a solution of 2-propanol and the fluorescent dye after the gelation time. The monolithic aerogel was obtained via supercritical CO₂ drying of the fluorescent gel. The resulting aerogel is transparent in the visible light and fluorescent in the blue-green region under UV radiation.

Preparation of Micron-size Functional Fluorescent Microspheres

As a kind of special functional microspheres, fluorescent polymer microspheres could be used in cell label and separation, blood flow assay, flow cytometer marking, chemical reaction assay,and in analyst of the transform and diffusion of particles in soil 1. However, one of the most important applications of fluorescent microspheres is in the high-throughput screening of drugs (HTS) 2. Through affinity interaction, radioactive ligands (latent drugs) are bound to fluorescent microspheres covered by receptor, and luminescence is produced by radioactivity, so ligands can be assayed and screened.In this study, we developed a technique for preparing micron-size fluorescent microspheres with different functional groups. The methods included the synthesis of micron-size polystyrene microspheres through the dispersion polymerization of styrene in different media such as ethanol,ethanol-water, and isopropanol; the functional polystyrene microspheres were prepared by introduction of functional monomers into the reaction system of styrene; the functional fluorescent microspheres were obtained by the way of dying functional microspheres in the fluorescent material's ethanol solvent.The average diameter of microspheres was in the range of 1～10 μm, and the distribution was normal distribution. The functional groups included -OH, -CHO, -COOH, -CONH2, and SO3H. The absorbing spectrum and exciting spectrum were tested, the results showed that the maximal absorbance of fluorescent microsphere was near 306.5 nm, and its maximal excitation was near 362 nm. The excitation spectrum of fluorescent material (DPO) and fluorescent microspheres were shown in figure 1, and it indicated that the developed fluorescent microspheres showed the same excitation behavior like DPO, which related to the fluorescent microspheres had stable luminescence property.

A fluorescent polymer dots positive readout fluorescent quenching lateral flow sensor for ractopamine rapid detection

A fluorescent polymer dots positive readout and sensitive lateral flow assay (LFA) based on fluorescent quenching has been developed to detect ractopamine (Rac), a chemical residue in food, harmful to human health. Compared with traditional LFA strips, these fluorescent quenching LFA (FQLFA) strips provide a positive correlation method that allows users to obtain results from a weak fluorescent signal. The immunoassay strip scheme is based on the fact that fluorescent polymer dots (FPDs) in close proximity to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) represent a strong fluorescent quenching. We show that the FQLFA strips can be used as a source to quantitatively analyze Rac in phosphate buffers (PB), swine urine and muscle tissue samples. The lowest detection limitation of the FQLFA was 0.16 ng mL⁻¹. Our results indicated that this novel scheme was more suitable for rapid detection of small molecules.     

Fabrication of Novel Reversible Photoswitchable Fluorescent Nanoparticles

Novel photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles were fabricated by a facile one-step mini-emulsion polymerization, in which fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) donor, 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA), and photoswitchable acceptor, spiropyran derivate, were simultaneously embedded in polymer matrix during the polymerization process. The prepared fluorescent nanoparticles exhibit the typical absorption properties of both DPA dye and spiropyran moiety, indicating that the two chromophores have been incorporated into the polymer nanoparticles. The obtained fluorescent nanoparticles exhibited superior photoswitchable fluorescent performance due to the effective photoinduced interparticle FRET. Moreover, the novel photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles also revealed small size (ca. 60 nm), high intensity, relatively fast photoresponsive property and good photoreversibility in aqueous media.     

Universal fluorescent labeling of amplification products using locked nucleic acids

Amplification/hybridization‐based genetic analyses using primers containing locked nucleic acids (LNAs) present many benefits. Here, we developed a novel design for universal fluorescent PCR using LNAs. Universal fluorescent PCR generates intermediate nonlabeled fragments and final fluorescent fragments in a two‐step amplification process that uses locus‐specific primers with universal tails and universal fluorescent primers. In this study, a few standard nucleotides were replaced with LNAs only in the fluorescent universal primers. The sequence of the fluorescent universal primer significantly affected the amplification efficiency. For primers with three LNAs, the fluorescent primers with stable M13(‐47) sequences provided the most efficient signal (approximately tenfold higher than the primers with M13(‐21) sequences at lower Tm values). Moreover, AT‐rich LNA substitutions in the fluorescent primers produced much lower amplification efficiencies than GC‐rich substitutions. GC‐rich LNAs produced greater differences in Tm values among primers, and resulted in the preferential production of fluorescently labeled amplicons. The specificity and sensitivity of LNA‐containing fluorescent primers were assessed by genotyping eight STRs in Japanese individuals, and full STR profiles could be generated using as little as 0.25 ng of genomic DNA. The method permitted clear discrimination of alleles and represents sensitive STR genotyping at a reduced cost.     

New fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors based on the rhodamine and boronic acid groups for the detection of Hg

Novel rhodamine B (RB) derivatives bearing mono and bis-boronic acid groups were investigated as Hg²⁺ selective fluorescent and colorimetric sensors. These derivatives are first examples of reversible fluorescent chemosensors for Hg²⁺ which utilized boronic acid groups as binding sites. Two new RB-boronic acid derivatives displayed selective ‘Off-On’-type fluorescent enhancements and distinct color changes with Hg²⁺. Selective fluorescent enhancement of two rhodamine derivatives was attributed to ring opening from the spirolactam (nonfluorescent) to ring-opened amide (fluorescent).     

New fluorescent chemosensors for silver ion

New fluorescent chemosensors, 1,8-bis(pyrazolylmethyl)anthracene and 9,10-bis(pyrazolylmethyl)anthracene, were synthesized. The 1,8-isomer showed selective fluorescent quenching effects with Ag(I) and Cu(II). On the other hand, the 9,10-isomer displayed a selective fluorescent quenching effect only with Ag(I). From the association constants obtained from fluorescent titrations and by extraction, we conclude that rigid immobilization of the ligands, 1,8-isomer, plays a more important role in the binding with Ag(I) than the additional pi-cation interaction offered by the 9,10-isomer.     

A selective fluorescent turn-on NIR probe for cysteine

A selective and sensitive turn-on fluorescent NIR probe for cysteine has been developed. Cleavage of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) with thiols switches the weakly fluorescent aza-BODIPY dye (λ(em) = 734 nm, Φ(f) = 0.03) to a strongly fluorescent species in the NIR region (λ(em) = 755 nm, Φ(f) = 0.14).     

A molecular 1 : 2 demultiplexer

A dual-channel fluorescent compound runs as a 1 : 2 digital demultiplexer (DEMUX) which can drive a single signal (proton) to two different destinations as a fluorescent photonic response; each fluorescent channel can be activated independently by careful selection of the excitation wavelength.     

A unique approach to development of near-infrared fluorescent sensors for in vivo imaging

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent sensors have emerged as promising molecular tools for imaging biomolecules in living systems. However, NIR fluorescent sensors are very challenging to be developed. Herein, we describe the discovery of a new class of NIR fluorescent dyes represented by 1a/1c/1e, which are superior to the traditional 7-hydroxycoumarin and fluorescein with both absorption and emission in the NIR region while retaining an optically tunable hydroxyl group. Quantum chemical calculations with the B3LYP exchange functional employing 6-31G(d) basis sets provide insights into the optical property distinctions between 1a/1c/1e and their alkoxy derivatives. The unique optical properties of the new type of fluorescent dyes can be exploited as a useful strategy for development of NIR fluorescent sensors. Employing this strategy, two different types of NIR fluorescent sensors, NIR-H(2)O(2) and NIR-thiol, for H(2)O(2) and thiols, respectively, were constructed. These novel sensors respond to H(2)O(2) or thiols with a large turn-on NIR fluorescence signal upon excitation in the NIR region. Furthermore, NIR-H(2)O(2) and NIR-thiol are capable of imaging endogenously produced H(2)O(2) and thiols, respectively, not only in living cells but also in living mice, demonstrating the value of the new NIR fluorescent sensor design strategy. The new type of NIR dyes presented herein may open up new opportunities for the development of NIR fluorescent sensors based on the hydroxyl functionalized reactive sites for biological imaging applications in living animals.     

A proton sponge-based fluorescent switch

A proton-triggered fluorescent switch was developed through direct connection of a proton sponge, 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene to a fluorophore, 4-aminonaphthalimide. The molecular fluorescent switch was based on a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. The fluorescent switch exhibited significant fluorescence enhancement upon binding the low-concentration protons in high pH aqueous solution. The high pK_a value (around 11) of the fluorescent switch could be ascribed to the nature of the proton sponge.
