Enzyme-activated fluorogenic probes, which invoke enzymatic catalysis to trigger the generation of fluorescence, provide a versatile platform for monitoring biological processes. The development of fluorogenic probes that can readily penetrate the cell envelopes of bacteria are essential to examine intracellular targets of live bacterial cells. Herein, we present the design, synthesis, properties, and biological applications of two series of fluorogenic probes based on cyanine 5 for identification of bacterial nitroreductase (NTR). The selected fluorogenic probe 3 generates a rapid 10-fold fluorescence response after being catalytically reduced by NTR to the intermediate para-aminobenzyl substituted which then underwent a rearrangement elimination reaction. Moreover, probe 3 is cell permeable for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial cell envelopes and is selective for NTR over other biological analytes, thus minimizing the background signal and enabling the real-time intracellular imaging of NTR in live bacterial cells.

Spiropyrans and spirooxazines represent an important class of photochromic compounds with a wide variety of applications. In order to effectively utilize and design these photoswitches it is desirable to understand how the substituents affect photochromic properties, and how the different structural motifs compare under identical conditions. In this work a small library of photoswitches was synthesized in order to comparatively evaluate the effect of substituent modifications and structure on photochromism. The library was designed to modify positions that were believed to have the greatest effect on C-O bond lability and therefore the photochromic properties. Herein we report a comparative analysis of the UV and visible light responses of 30 spiropyrans, spiroindolinonaphthopyrans, and spirooxazines. The influence of gadolinium(III) binding was also investigated on the library of compounds to determine its effect on photoswitching. Both assays demonstrated different trends in substituent and structural requirements for optimal photochromism.

The reversible photochemical ion chelation of the newly synthesised substituted N,N′-bis(spiro[1-benzopyran-2,2′-indolyl])diazacrown systems 15a-c and the subsequent molecular electronic control of this process using appropriately placed substituent groups on the spiro-benzopyran skeleton is reported. The principle of molecular electronic control of ion chelation is demonstrated by comparing the behaviour of the newly synthesised nitro-substituted and pyrido-annulated spiro-benzopyran system 9b with that of the unsubstituted compound 9a. Electronic substituent control over ion chelation is then exemplified for the new N,N′-bis(5′-nitrospiro[1- benzopyran-2,2′-indolyl])diazacrown system 15c and further exemplified for the corresponding 5′-trifluoromethyl derivative 15b, which contains the photochemically more robust trifluoromethyl group. The crown system 15a, unsubstituted in the spiro-indole moiety, is also reported. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2006.
