Rotaxane-mediated suppression and activation of cucurbit[6]uril for molecular detection by (129)Xe hyperCEST NMR.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a method for blocking interactions between (129)Xe and cucurbit[6]uril (CB6) until activation by a specific chemical event. We synthesized a CB6-rotaxane that allowed no (129)Xe interaction with the CB6 macrocycle component until a cleavage event released the CB6, which then produced a (129)Xe@CB6 NMR signal. This contrast-upon-activation (129)Xe NMR platform allows for modular synthesis and can be expanded to applications in detection and disease imaging.

Cucurbit[6]uril is an ultrasensitive (129)Xe NMR contrast agent.
A lack of molecular contrast agents has slowed the application of ultrasensitive hyperpolarized (129)Xe NMR methods. Here, we report that commercially available cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) undergoes rapid xenon exchange kinetics at 300 K, and is detectable by Hyper-CEST NMR at 1.8 pM in PBS and at 1 μM in human plasma where many molecules, including polyamines, can compete with xenon for CB[6] bind...
متن کاملIn vivo detection of cucurbit[6]uril, a hyperpolarized xenon contrast agent for a xenon magnetic resonance imaging biosensor
The Hyperpolarized gas Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (HyperCEST) Magnetic Resonance (MR) technique has the potential to increase the sensitivity of a hyperpolarized xenon-129 MRI contrast agent. Signal enhancement is accomplished by selectively depolarizing the xenon within a cage molecule which, upon exchange, reduces the signal in the dissolved phase pool. Herein we demonstrate the in...

Cucurbit[5]uril hydrochloride hydrate crystals with large water-filled channels transform to a highly stable layer structure via a single-crystal to single-crystal mechanism; (129)Xe NMR showed that porosity in CB[5] samples depends critically on the method of preparation.

Distance determination: The use of pulsed electron-electron double resonance (PELDOR/DEER) spectroscopy to determine the distances among the end units of a paramagnetic cucurbit[6]uril-based rotaxane is demonstrated.
متن کاملMolecular switch based on a cucurbit[6]uril containing bistable [3]rotaxane.
A bistable CB6-based [3]rotaxane with two recognition sites has been prepared very efficiently in a high yield synthesis through CB6 catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition; this rotaxane behaves as a reversible molecular switch and exhibits conformational changes caused by the movement of rings under base, acid and heat stimuli from one location to the other.
