A pH-responsive fluorescent probe and photosensitiser based on a self-quenched phthalocyanine dimer.

چکیده
A self-quenched zinc(II) phthalocyanine dimer linked with an acid-sensitive ketal unit has been prepared, which can be activated in an acidic environment (pH = 5.0-6.5) as a result of the cleavage of the ketal linker and separation of the phthalocyanine units, resulting in enhanced fluorescence emission and singlet oxygen production.

Latent pH-responsive ratiometric fluorescent cluster based on self-assembled photoactivated SNARF derivatives
We have developed a self-assembled fluorescent cluster comprising a seminaphthorhodafluor (SNARF) derivative protected by a photoremovable o-nitrobenzyl group. Prior to UV irradiation, a colorless and nonfluorescent cluster was spontaneously assembled in aqueous solution. After UV irradiation, the self-assembled cluster remained intact and showed a large enhancement in pH-responsive fluorescenc...
متن کاملSynthesis and Photosensitizing Properties of an Activatable Phthalocyanine-Subphthalocyanine Triad
In this article, we describe a photosensitizer (PS) whose ability to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) and fluorescence emission has been designed as tumor responsive. More specifically, the PS consists of a silicon phthalocyanine (SiPc) core, axially substituted with two subphthalocyanine (SubPc) units, covalently linked by a disulfide linker, which is cleavable in the presence of a strong reducin...
متن کاملDevelopment of Functional Phthalocyanine-Based Associate towards an Effective Fluorimetric Detection of Hg(II).
In acidic media, cationic phthalocyanine Alcian blue 8GX, has an efficient fluorescence quenching effect on anionic phthalocyanine tetrasulphoaluminium phthalocyanines (AlS₄Pc), forming an almost non-fluorescent associate. Based on this discovery, a red-emitting fluorescent probe consisted of AlS₄PC and Alcian blue 8GX has been developed through molecular assembly. Further studies indicated tha...
متن کاملDesign of a Fluorescent Sensor Based on the Polydopamine Nanoparticles for Detection of Gallic Acid
Background: Gallic acid (GA) is one of the polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial and radical scavenging activities, which plays a main role in human health against cancer and cardiovascular diseases. GA concentration can be quantitatively measured in food, medicinal plants and body fluids. Materials and Methods: In this study, MnO2 nanosheets were prepared by reducing potassium...
متن کاملHybridization-responsive fluorescent DNA probes containing the adenine analog 2-aminopurine.
There is increasing need for rapid and efficient methods of detecting microorganisms and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using DNA probe hybridization. Self-quenching hairpin probes such as molecular beacons are useful in separation-free homogeneous assays of high specificity [1], but the complexity of beacon synthesis makes their cost prohibitive for many routine applications. In this w...
