Synthesis and development of biologically active fluorescent-labeled vitamin K analogues and monitoring of their subcellular distribution

New fluorescent analogues of menaquinone-4 and phylloquinone were prepared and their subcellular distribution monitored using a confocal laser scanning microscope. These analogues incorporate an FITC group anchored to the naphthoquinone skeleton through an amide bond expected to be resistant to metabolism. On their addition to the culture medium, fluorescence was readily observed inside a human osteosarcoma cell line. This result indicates that the fluorescent analogues penetrate into cells the same as vitamin K, and therefore, would be useful for achieving insight into the action mechanism of vitamin K.     

温敏性荧光纳米材料的合成

合成了以荧光材料罗丹明B/SiO2为核,交联聚N-异丙基丙烯酰胺(PNIPAM)为壳的具有核/壳结构的纳米颗粒。用氢氟酸除去二氧化硅模板核后,形成了核壳结构的温敏荧光微球。28～36℃范围内的温敏性实验表明,该粒子的低临界溶解温度(LCST)为33℃,具有温敏性,用SEM、TEM、XRD、FT-IR等手段对温敏荧光微球的组成和结构进行了表征和分析,探讨了磁性温敏纳米颗粒的制备机理。
