A series of linear poly (glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) polymers were synthesized via RAFT polymerization and conjugated with amine-containing 3-hydroxypyridin-4-ones (HPOs) to generate a panel of HPO-containing materials with controlled structures and spe

Iron-sensitive fluorescent chemosensors in combination with digital fluorescence spectroscopy have led to the identification of a distinct subcellular compartmentation of intracellular redox-active "labile" iron. To investigate the distribution of labile iron, our research has been focused on the development of fluorescent iron sensors targeting the endosomal/lysosomal system. Following the recent introduction of a series of 3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (HPO) based fluorescent probes we present here two novel HPO sensors capable of accumulating and monitoring iron exclusively in endosomal/lysosomal compartments. Flow cytometric and confocal microscopy studies in murine macrophages revealed endosomal/lysosomal sequestration of the probes and high responsiveness toward alterations of vesicular labile iron concentrations. This allowed assessment of cellular iron status with high sensitivity in response to the clinically applied medications desferrioxamine, deferiprone, and deferasirox. The probes represent a powerful class of sensors for quantitative iron detection and clinical real-time monitoring of subcellular labile iron levels in health and disease.

The synthesis of a range of novel 3-hydroxypyridin-4-ones and 3-hydroxypyran-4-ones linked with different coumarin substituents is described. These compounds have been developed in order to provide a series of molecular probes for the quantification of intracellular labile iron pools. An evaluation of the effect of iron(III) on fluorescence intensity was undertaken. Chelation of iron(III) causes quenching of fluorescence. The relationship between iron(III) concentration and the extent of fluorescence quenching indicates that the metal is chelated in a complex with a metal-to-ligand stoichiometry of 1:3. The fluorescence of hydroxypyridinone compounds was found to be more efficiently quenched by iron(III) than were the hydroxypyranones. The metal-to-ligand stoichiometry at which maximum quenching is observed was found to depend on the site at which coumarin is attached. The efficiency of fluorescence quenching by iron(III) is markedly influenced by solvent polarity and pH. The permeability of two representative fluorescent chelators across human erythrocyte ghost membranes was investigated. The rate of permeability for a series of probes was found to be related to the corresponding ClogP values.
