Although some sensors for Cu2+ and Zn2+ had been reported, the sensor with long-wavelength emission in aqueous media for in-situ detecting Cu2+ and Zn2+ was always expected. Herein, a biphenylacrylonitrile Schiff-base (OPBS) with large aromatic conjugated system was designed and synthesized in yield of 82%. OPBS possessed excellent long-wavelength fluorescence at 550–750 nm in aqueous media, which selectively response to sense Cu2+ with quenched fluorescence and Zn2+ with chromotropic fluorescence from red to yellow. The detection of Cu2+ and Zn2+ were realized without mutual interference in their coexistence system by means of the assistance of ATP. The detection limits were 2.3 × 10?7 M for Cu2+ and 1.8 × 10?6 M for Zn2+, respectively. The sensing mechanism was elucidated by binding MS spectra, fluorescence Job's plot and 1H NMR spectra. Moreover, OPBS exhibited good bioimaging performance and the in-situ sensing abilities for Cu2+ and Zn2+ in living cells, suggesting the application potential for detecting Cu2+ and Zn2+ in both vitro assay and vivo environment.

We report here design and synthesis of two new mesogenic homologous series of coumarin derivatives consisting of chalcone and imine central linkages along with terminal n-alkoxy chain. All the compounds were synthesized and characterized by combination of elemental analysis and standard spectroscopic methods. All compounds were screened under polarising optical microscope (POM) for liquid crystalline properties, thermogram of all compounds were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to get phase transition temperatures, enthalpy and entropy. X-ray single crystal study of n-octyloxy coumarin derivative 16 g was resolved with imine central linkage, which showed linear rod like geometry.

There has been a continuous effort towards a synthesis of new stimuli-responsive polymer nanoparticle systems for improved cancer chemotherapy over the last decade. In this context, we have presently developed a temperature, pH, and redox-responsive amphiphilic block-copolymer capable of forming nanoparticles in the aqueous medium, targeted towards drug delivery applications. The copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction was utilized to tie the ends of two copolymers - a thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) based copolymer with an azide end group and a pH-responsive hydrophobic polymer with redox responsive disulfide bond and an alkyne end group, producing a new triple responsive amphiphilic block copolymer (PHNP) that self-assemble in water to produce nanoparticles. Upon heating above the cloud point of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), these nanoparticles experienced further aggregation to produce larger sized particles as measured by dynamic light scattering, UV–visible spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques. PHNP was found to be capable of encapsulating drugs like doxorubicin (DOX) and also fluorescent probes alike Nile Red. The drug release kinetics divulged that in a period of 24 h more than 90percent of the encapsulated DOX was released in pH 5.4 buffer having 10 mM glutathione (GSH) at 40 °C, an environment prevailing in cancer tissues. In vitro studies including live-dead assay and rhodamine-DAPI staining showed that PHNP was non-cytotoxic. DOX-loaded PHNP was observed to be more effective in prohibiting bone cancer cell (MG63) line in comparison to free DOX, demonstrated by the significant reduction of IC50 values. The uptake studies showed that DOX-encapsulated PHNP was more effective for morphometric distortion of MG63 cells in comparison to bare DOX. Therefore, the present research on the development of a biocompatible thermal, pH, and redox-responsive polymer opens up new opportunities in the area of polymeric carrier systems for drug delivery to cancer cells.
