Since its development, the ionophore BAPTA (1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N’,N’-tetraacetic acid) has been used unchanged in calcium sensing applications. In this work we present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of novel alterations in the structure of BAPTA, with a focus on the systematic modification of the chain connecting the two aromatic rings of the molecule (denoted as “linker”). A bis-(diethylamino)xantene fluorophore was also attached to the structures in a fixed position and the structure-fluorescence response relationship of these molecules was investigated in addition. The effect of the linker's length, the number of oxygen atoms in this chain and even the removal of one of the rings was tested; these all proved to significantly alter the characteristics of the compounds. For example, it was found that the second aromatic ring of BAPTA is not essential for the turn-on of the fluorescence. We also demonstrated that successful sensing can be realized even by replacing the chain with a single oxygen atom, which suggests the availability of a new calcium binding mode of the chelator. The reliable turn-on characteristic, the steep Ca2+ fluorescence titration curve and the intense fluorescence emission combine to make this compound a prospective candidate as a calcium sensing molecular probe in diagnostic neurobiological applications.

Fluorescent calcium ion (Ca2+) sensing and imaging have become an essential technique for investigation of signaling pathways of Ca2+ and understanding the role of Ca2+ in neurodegenerative disease. Herein a copper nanocluster (CuNC)-based ratiometric fluorescent probe was developed for real-time sensing and imaging of Ca2+ in neurons, in which a specific Ca2+ ligand with two formaldehyde groups was synthesized and further conjugated with polyethylenimine (PEI) to form a new ligand molecule for the synthesis of CuNCs. Meanwhile, water-soluble Alex Fluor 660 NHS ester was immobilized onto CuNCs as a reference element. The developed ratiometric fluorescence nanoprobe demonstrated a good linearity with Ca2+ concentration in the range of 2-350 μM, and a detection limit down to 220 ± 11 nM was achieved. In addition, the response time of the present probe for Ca2+ was found to be less than 2 s with good stability and high selectivity. Taking advantage of the low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility of the developed nanoprobe, it was discovered that the histamine-induced cytoplasmic Ca2+ increase in various parts of neurons was different. Moreover, it was found O2--induced cytoplasmic Ca2+ burst and O2--induced neuronal death possibly resulted from Ca2+ overload in the neurons.
