荧光/化学发光探针成像检测超氧阴离子自由基的研究进展

超氧阴离子自由基(O·-2)是细胞内氧气单电子还原后最先产生的一类含氧的高活性物种(活性氧,ROS),与生命过程息息相关.正常稳态浓度的O·-2起重要的信号调控作用,包括细胞的增殖、分化、自噬等.但O·-2浓度的异常,又与癌症、神经退行性疾病、糖尿病等多种疾病的发生发展密切相关.因此,监测O·-2浓度的变化对揭示相关疾病的机理具有至关重要作用.由于荧光成像检测方法具有诸多优势,发展高灵敏、高选择性检测O·-2的荧光探针成为揭示相关疾病发生发展分子机制的关键切入点.近年来,随着荧光显微技术的发展,研究者开发了多种荧光/化学发光探针,实现了对细胞及活体内O·-2水平的可视化监测.本文综述了近五年用于检测O·-2的分子探针、纳米探针、蛋白探针以及化学发光探针的研究进展,并对其发展前景进行了展望.

DNA interaction, superoxide scavenging and cytotoxicity studies on new copper(II) complexes derived from a tridentate ligand

The copper complexes [Cu(Pyimpy)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ (1), [Cu(Pyimpy)₂](ClO₄)₂ (2), [Cu(Pyimpy)(Cl)₂]·2H₂O (3·2H₂O), [Cu(Pyimpy)(N₃)(ClO₄)]₂ (4) and [Cu(Pyimpy)(SCN)(ClO₄)]₂ (5) were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques, crystal structures and electrochemical studies (Pyimpy: (2-((2-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-l)hydrazono)methyl)pyridine)). The superoxide scavenging activity of the two water soluble complexes 1 and 3 was examined. DNA interaction studies by UV-Vis absorption spectral changes during a titration experiment indicated the generation of new species. These small molecule SOD mimics exhibited excellent DNA cleavage activity in the presence of H₂O₂ as well as 2-mercaptoethanol. Complexes 1-5 exhibited better cytotoxicity compared to CuCl₂·2H₂O and the ligand Pyimpy, and showed more potency than cisplatin for MCF-7, PC-3 and HEK-293 cells. Complex 3 exhibited the highest potency for MCF-7, PC-3 and HEK-293 cells compared to the other complexes.     

Synthesis,characterization, crystal structures,and superoxide dismutase activity of copper(II) octahedral complexes containing tri- and monodentate ligands

Three new copper(II) complexes [Cu(PSBP)₂](NO₃)(BF₄) (1), [Cu(DAPBMA)₂](BF₄)₂ (2), and [Cu(ImH)₄(NO₃)₂] (3), where PSBP = 4-phenylsemicarbazide-2-benzoylpyridine, DAPBMA = 2,6-diacetylpyridine-bis-4-methoxyaniline, and ImH = Imidazole, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FAB mass spectrometry, magnetic susceptibility, X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), electronic spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. Frozen solution EPR spectra of the complexes have axial features with g _∥ > g _⊥ > 2.003 suggesting the presence of a d _{x ²? y ²} ground state. Single crystal X-ray analyses of 1–3 reveal the presence of distorted octahedral geometry. All complexes exhibit significant superoxide dismutase activity.     

Novel Fluorescent Methods for Biotechnological and Biomedical Sensoring: Assessing Antioxidants,Reactive Radicals,NO Dynamics,Immunoassay, and Biomembranes Fluidity

We proposed and developed a series of fluorescent methods for analysis and investigation of biological systems with a view of future biotechnological and biomedical applications. The methods we describe have been built upon several photochemical and photophysical phenomena including fluorescent quenching, photochrome photoisomerization, and energy transfer. Three new types of molecular probes have been developed and employed for such studies: (1) dual fluorophore–nitroxide compounds, (2) fluorescence–photochrome molecules, and (3) super molecules containing both fluorescence and fluorescent quenching segments. The fluorescent properties of the new probes were intensively exploited for several practical applications including a real-time analysis of antioxidants, nitric oxide, superoxide, reactive radicals, trinitrotoluene, and metal ions, investigation of molecular dynamics of biomembranes in a wide range characteristic times, detection of protein conformational transition, and characterization of surface system. Owning high sensitivity, simplicity, and availability of fluorescent techniques, these methods can be widely employed and are adaptable to fibrooptic sensoring. A general survey of the physical principles and application of the new fluorescent methods has been provided.     

Blinking Beats Bleaching: The Control of Superoxide Generation by Photo‐ionized Perovskite Nanocrystals

Moisture‐ or oxidation‐induced degradation is a major challenge in the advancement of perovskites‐based technology. The oxidation is caused by electron transfer from a photo‐excited perovskite nanocrystal to oxygen and the formation of superoxide that disintegrates the perovskite structure. In air, the emission intensity of a methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI₃) perovskite nanocrystal continuously decreases, whereas a nanocrystal in argon or a polymer shows exceptionally stable emission intensity. Surprisingly, in air, the emission intensity of a nanocrystal with long‐lived OFF states completely recovers after the OFF state. This property, along with the rate of non‐radiative relaxation that exceeds the rate of electron transfer suggest that the perovskite nanocrystals produce and react with superoxide in the excited neutral state, but not in the ionized state. In other words, the ultrafast non‐radiative relaxation in the ionized state hinders electron transfer to oxygen and prevents oxidation of perovskites.     

利用电子顺磁共振和紫外/可见吸收光谱研究熔融KNO3-NaNO2-NaNO3盐分解过程中的超氧负离子

On account of excellent thermal physical properties, molten nitrates/nitrites salt has been widely employed in heat transfer and thermal storage industry, especially in concentrated solar power system. The thermal stability study of molten nitrate/nitrite salt is of great importance for this system, and the decomposition mechanism is the most complicated part of it. The oxide species O₂^2- and O₂^- were considered as intermediates in molten KNO₃-NaNO₃ while hard to been detected in high temperature molten salt due to their trace concentration and low stability. In this work, the homemade in situ high temperature UVVis instrument and a commercial electron paramagnetic resonance were utilized to supply evidence for the formation of superoxide during a slow decomposition process of heat transfer salt (HTS, 53 wt% KNO₃/40 wt% NaNO₂/7 wt% NaNO₃). It is found that the superoxide is more easily generated from molten NaNO₂ compared to NaNO₃, and it has an absorption band at 420-440 nm in HTS which red shifts as temperature increases. The band is assigned to charge-transfer transition in NaO₂ or KO₂, responsible for the yellow color of the molten nitrate/nitrite salt. Furthermore, the UV absorption bands of molten NaNO₂ and NaNO₃ are also obtained and compared with that of HTS.
