Most fluorescent nucleoside analogues are quenched when base stacked and some maintain their brightness, but there has been little progress toward developing nucleoside analogues that markedly increase their fluorescence upon duplex formation. Here, we report on the design and synthesis of a new tricyclic cytidine analogue, 8-diethylamino-tC (8-DEA-tC), that responds to DNA duplex formation with up to a 20-fold increase in fluorescent quantum yield as compared with the free nucleoside, depending on neighboring bases. This turn-on response to duplex formation is the greatest of any reported nucleoside analogue that can participate in Watson-Crick base pairing. Measurements of the quantum yield of 8-DEA-tC mispaired with adenosine and, separately, opposite an abasic site show that there is almost no fluorescence increase without the formation of correct Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds. Kinetic isotope effects from the use of deuterated buffer show that the duplex protects 8-DEA-tC against quenching by excited state proton transfer. These results, supported by DFT calculations, suggest a rationale for the observed photophysical properties that is dependent on duplex integrity and the electronic structure of the analogue.

Herein reported are new tricyclic cytidine compounds, such as 8-diethylamino-tC (8-DEA-tC), that respond to DNA and/or RNA duplex formation with up to a 20-fold increase in fluorescent quantum yield as compared with the free nucleoside, depending on neighboring bases. This turn-on response to duplex formation is by far the greatest of any reported nucleoside analogue that can participate in Watson-Crick base pairing. Measurements of the quantum yield of 8-DEA-tC mispaired with adenosine and, separately, opposite an abasic site show that there is almost no fluorescence increase without the formation of correct Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds. Kinetic isotope effects from the use of deuterated buffer show that the duplex protects 8-DEA-tC against quenching by excited state proton transfer. DFT calculations provide a rationale for the observed photophysical properties that is dependent on duplex integrity and the electronic structure of the analogue.

The invention discloses a fluorescent probe for simultaneously detecting DNA and RNA in cells under double channels as well as a preparation method and application of the fluorescent probe. The structure of the fluorescent probe is shown as a formula (I) or (II), wherein the Ar is an aromatic ring or an aromatic heterocyclic ring; the R1 and R2 are respectively and independently hydrogen, N-piperazine, N-methyl piperazine, -NH(CH2)nR3 and -NR3R4; the n is any integer from 1 to 5, and R3 and R4 are respectively and independently hydrogen, C1-C5 alkyl or C1-C5 haloalkyl; the A- is halide ions orp-toluenesulfonic acid ions. The fluorescent probe disclosed by the invention can be used for simultaneously detecting DNA and RNA in vitro and in cells under double channels; meanwhile, the fluorescent probe has the characteristics of rapid synthesis, near-infrared emission wavelength, good light stability, high detection sensitivity and the like, and is convenient to popularize and apply.
