A Three‐Component Assembly Promoted by Boronic Acids Delivers a Modular Fluorophore Platform (BASHY Dyes)†

چکیده
The modular assembly of boronic acids with Schiff-base ligands enabled the construction of innovative fluorescent dyes [boronic acid salicylidenehydrazone (BASHY)] with suitable structural and photophysical properties for live cell bioimaging applications. This reaction enabled the straightforward synthesis (yields up to 99%) of structurally diverse and photostable dyes that exhibit a polarity-sensitive green-to-yellow emission with high quantum yields of up to 0.6 in nonpolar environments. These dyes displayed a high brightness (up to 54,000 M(-1) cm(-1)). The promising structural and fluorescence properties of BASHY dyes fostered the preparation of non-cytotoxic, stable, and highly fluorescent poly(lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles that were effectively internalized by dendritic cells. The dyes were also shown to selectively stain lipid droplets in HeLa cells, without inducing any appreciable cytotoxicity or competing plasma membrane labeling; this confirmed their potential as fluorescent stains.

Site-selective installation of BASHY fluorescent dyes to Annexin V for targeted detection of apoptotic cells.
Fluorophores are indispensable for imaging biological processes. We report the design and synthesis of azide-tagged boronic acid salicylidenehydrazone (BASHY) dyes and their use for site-selective labelling of Annexin V. The Annexin V-BASHY conjugate maintained function and fluorescence as demonstrated by the targeted detection of apoptotic cells.

متن کاملExploring the use of APTS as a fluorescent reporter dye for continuous glucose sensing.
The anionic fluorescent dye, aminopyrene trisulfonic acid (APTS), was synthesized and used in a solution-based two-component glucose-sensing system comprising the dye and a boronic acid-appended viologen. The fluorescence of the dye was quenched in the presence of the viologen and the fluorescence restored upon glucose addition. An important feature of this fluorophore is that it can be covalen...
متن کاملDirect Synthesis of Highly Substituted Pyrroles and Dihydropyrroles Using Linear Selective Hydroacylation Reactions
Rhodium(I) catalysts incorporating small bite-angle diphosphine ligands, such as (Cy2 P)2 NMe or bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm), are effective at catalysing the union of aldehydes and propargylic amines to deliver the linear hydroacylation adducts in good yields and with high selectivities. In situ treatment of the hydroacylation adducts with p-TSA triggers a dehydrative cyclisation to pr...
متن کاملApplication of Non-Corrosive Acids in Three-Component, One-Pot Synthesis of Commercial Coumarin Dye
The efficiency of HZSM-5 Zeolite, tungestophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40) and tungestosililic acid (H4O40SiW12) were investigated in three-component, one-pot synthesis of coumarin dyes. These green and noncorrosive acids were highly efficient in synthesis of some coumarin dyes in excellent yield during concurrent formation of coumarin and benzimidazole or benzoxazole heterocycles (e.g. C. I. disper...
