- A General Strategy Toward Highly Fluorogenic Bioprobes Emitting across the Visible Spectrum
-
A general approach toward highly fluorogenic probes across the visible spectrum for various analytes offers significant potential for engineering a wide range of bioprobes with diverse sensing and imaging functions. Here we show a facile and general strategy that involves introducing a new fluorogenic mechanism in boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes, based on the principle of stimuli-triggered dramatic reduction in the electron-withdrawing capabilities of the meso-substituents of BODIPYs. The fluorogenic mechanism has been demonstrated to be applicable in various BODIPYs with emission maxima ranging from green to far red (509, 585, and 660 nm), and the synthetic strategy allows access to a panel of highly fluorogenic bioprobes for various biomolecules and enzymes (H2O2, H2S, and protease) via introducing specific triggering motifs. The potency of the general design strategy is exemplified by its application to develop a mitochondria-targeting far-red probe capable of imaging of endogenous H2O2 in living cells.

- A Two-Photon Ratiometric Sensing Platform Based on Solid-State Luminescent Benzocoumarin: Application to Prolonged Bioimaging of Hydrogen Peroxide
-
Fluorescent probes provide essential tools for studying biological systems. For the prolonged imaging of cellular analytes, the fast clearance of small-molecular probes and products is a matter of concern in the quantitative analysis. Activatable probes that produce insoluble products inside cells can be used for prolonged imaging, but those with ratiometric imaging capability are rare. We disclose a novel sensing platform that is capable of prolonged imaging, in addition to ratiometric signaling for reliable quantitative analysis. Specifically, 3-(pyridin-4-yl)-8-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-2H-benzo[g]chromen-2-one and its pyridinium salt as a product/probe couple constitute the ratiometric sensing platform. As the former dye produces highly emissive insoluble nanoaggregates inside cells, a fluorescent probe in the latter form enables prolonged imaging of the target analyte in cells as well as in tissue by two-photon microscopy.

- Thiourea-Mediated Halogenation of Alcohols
-
The halogenation of alcohols under mild conditions expedited by the presence of substoichiometric amounts of thiourea additives is presented. The amount of thiourea added dictates the pathway of the reaction, which may diverge from the desired halogenation reaction toward oxidation of the alcohol, in the absence of thiourea, or toward starting material recovery when excess thiourea is used. Both bromination and chlorination were highly efficient for primary, secondary, tertiary, and benzyl alcohols and tolerate a broad range of functional groups. Detailed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies, isotopic labeling, and other control experiments suggest a radical-based mechanism. The fact that the reaction is carried out at ambient conditions, uses ubiquitous and inexpensive reagents, boasts a wide scope, and can be made highly atom economic, makes this new methodology a very appealing option for this archetypical organic reaction.

- BODIPY-based high-sensitivity fluorescent probe and synthesis method and application thereof
-
The invention relates to a BODIPY-based high-sensitivity fluorescent probe and a synthesis method and application thereof. A structural general formula of the probe is shown as (I), wherein Trigger is stimulant triggering groups, R1 and R2 are groups for regulating and controlling fluorescent transmission wavelength of the probe and introducing organelle targeting, and R1 and R2 are defined in the description. By the probe, detection of different substrates can be realized without changing mother nucleus structure of the probe by only changing different Trigger groups. In addition, according to different needs on wavelength and targeting, the mother nucleus structure of the probe can be quickly modified. By changing R1 and R2, maximum fluorescent emission wavelength of the probe can be changed, and the probe can target mitochondrion to realize detection of active substances in the mitochondrion. The probe has good biocompatibility, thereby being applicable to detecting biological systems. Application value of the fluorescent probe in the aspect of detecting bioactive molecules and protease over-expressed in inflammatory or tumor tissue has potential social benefit and economic benefit.

- Photoswitchable azobenzene-appended iridium(III) complexes
-
Iridium(iii) cyclometalated complexes have been used as models to study the effect that extended conjugation and substitution pattern has on the photochromic behavior of azobenzene-appended 2-phenylpyridyl (ppy) ligands. For this purpose four azobenzene-containing ppy ligands were synthesized. With these ligands, nine iridium(iii) complexes containing up to three appended azobenzenes were synthesized. Analysis of their photochromic behaviour by means of UV-vis and 1H-NMR spectroscopy permitted us to conclude that the light-induced trans-to-cis isomerization of the azobenzene was strongly inhibited upon coordination to the Ir(iii) cation when the electronic conjugation was extended along the whole ligand. The use of an aliphatic spacer unit (either -CH2- or -OCH2-) between the azobenzene and the ppy fragment of the ligand sufficed to disrupt the electronic communication, and obtain photochromic organometallic complexes.

Several of them, including BF102 and BF175, have the lipogenesis inhibitory effect by suppressing lipogenic gene expression in mammalian hepatocytes. Further, BF102 also inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis by suppressing HMG-CoA reductase gene expression in hepatocytes. Interestingly, our preliminary in vivo data suggests that BF102 has no significant toxicity in mice at the highest possible dose we can administered. Thus, BF102 is a potential lead for the next generation of lipid-lowering drugs.

- Caged mitochondrial uncouplers that are released in response to hydrogen peroxide

Caged versions of the most common mitochondrial uncouplers (proton translocators) have been prepared that sense the reactive oxygen species (ROS) hydrogen peroxide to release the uncouplers 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) and carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) from caged states with second order rate constants of 10 (±0.8) M-1 s-1 and 64.8 (±0.6) M-1 s-1, respectively. The trigger mechanism involves conversion of an arylboronate into a phenol followed by fragmentation. Hydrogen peroxide-activated uncouplers may be useful for studying the biological process of ageing.

A highly efficient and convergent approach to the synthesis of the angiotensin II receptor antagonist valsartan (1), one of the most important agents used in antihypertensive therapy today, is described. Directed ortho-metalation of 4-bromotoluene provides the key boronic acid intermediate 11 which was subjected to palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling. This method overcomes many of the drawbacks associated with the previously reported syntheses. The saponification of the methyl ester in valsartan was realized in a convenient and economical manner, which is more suitable for industrial production. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
