A Novel Fluorescence Probe Based on Azamonardine for Detecting and Imaging Cysteine in Cells and Zebrafish with High Selectivity and Sensitivity. Molecules 2023; 28:6246. [PMID: 37687075 PMCID: PMC10488781 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28176246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe based on azamonardine (Aza) fluorophore was designed and synthesized for the highly selective detection of cysteine (Cys) in vivo and in vitro. After reacting with acryloyl chloride, the fluorescence of Aza is effectively quenched, resulting in the formation of the Aza-acryl probe. Upon the addition of Cys, the ester bond of Aza-acryl is cleaved, releasing a new compound (Compound 1) with strong fluorescence, thereby achieving fluorescence turn-on detection of Cys. The structure of Aza-acryl was characterized using X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, density functional theory was employed to elucidate the quenching mechanism of the acyl group on the Aza. Aza-acryl exhibits high selectivity towards Cys and distinguishes it from other biothiols such as homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). The mechanism of Aza-acryl for detecting Cys was investigated through HPLC, NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and reaction kinetics experiments. Aza-acryl demonstrates excellent imaging capabilities for Cys in cells and zebrafish, providing a reliable and selectable tool for the detection and imaging of Cys in biological systems.

Liu J, Dou X, Zhang H. 2-Mercaptobenzimidazole Functionalized Copper Nanoparticles Fluorescence Probe for Sensitivity and Selectivity Detection of Cys in Serum. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:5814. [PMID: 37447664 DOI: 10.3390/s23135814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
In this paper, a 2-mercaptobenzimidazole-copper nanoparticles (MBI-CuNPs) fluorescent probe with high performance based on 2-mercaptobenzimidazole functionalized copper nanoparticles was synthesized by a hydrothermal method and used for cysteine (Cys) detection in serum. The MBI-CuNPs probe exhibits strong fluorescence emission at 415 nm under the excitation at 200 nm, which is attributed to the metal-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transition through the coordination of an MBI ligand and monovalent copper. Furthermore, the MBI-CuNPs probe has a high quenching fluorescence response to Cys, and shows a good linearity relationship with Cys in 0.05-65 µM, with a detection limit of 52 nM. Moreover, the MBI-CuNPs probe could eliminate the interference of biological mercaptan Hcy and GSH with a similar structure and reaction properties, due to the strong electron-donating ability of Cys, which can quench the fluorescence of the MBI-CuNPs probe. The MBI-CuNPs probe was applied to the analysis of Cys in real serum, and the absolute recovery rate was as high as 90.23-97.00%. Such a fluorescent probe with high sensitivity and selectivity has potential applications for the early prevention of various diseases caused by abnormal Cys levels.

Abstract
A colorimetric probe TQA ((E)-4-(((8-(sec-butoxy)-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H,5H-pyrido[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-9-yl)methylene)amino)benzylacrylate) possessing greater potent towards the sensing of cysteine was successfully synthesized and characterized. The aqueous soluble probe TQA detects Cys based on "ON-OFF" effect with excellent absorbance and emission properties. The probe TQA detects Cys up to its ultra-low level concentration of 1.5 nM and also quantifies the Cys up to 5.05 nM with the quicker response time of 140 s (2.3 min). In addition, the color change produced by the probe TQA on integrated with Cys was also identified easily via paper strip, cotton wool buds and RGB color picker app in smart mobiles. Further, the admirable selectivity and sensitivity of the probe TQA towards Cys extends its utility towards food samples and imaging of live HeLa cells.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 287:122088.

Abstract
A high-performance fluorescent probe 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole copper nanoparticles (DMTD-CuNPs) was synthesized by hydrothermal method based on monovalent copper (Cu(I)) and 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMTD), and it can effectively detect cysteine (Cys) in plasma. Experiments show that DMTD can reduces band gap of Cu(I) in DMTD-CuNPs, promote charge transfer transition from DMTD to Cu(I) and significantly enhance fluorescence intensity of DMTD-CuNPs at 515 nm. The large Stokes shift of DMTD-CuNPs is 315 nm, which can reduce the self-quenching of probe fluorescence and improves detection accuracy of the probe. In the presence of Cys, fluorescence of DMTD-CuNPs at 515 nm is significantly quenched because Cys reacts with Cu(I) in DMTD-CuNPs through Cu-S bond to form reduced charge transfer, which can be successfully used for the detection of Cys. Linear range and detection limit for Cys detection are 25-65 µM and 50 nM, respectively. Furthermore, feasibility of detecting Cys in plasma using DMTD-CuNPs probe was evaluated by standard addition method, and the absolute recovery is 96-99%. Such a DMTD-CuNPs probe shows high sensitivity, good selectivity and low detection limit for Cys, which is expected to be used for the practical analysis of Cys in plasma.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe based on hydroxyquinoline conjugated with a charged trimethylindolenine unit Toc-Ac was developed, which exhibited long wavelength emission (560 nm) and a large Stokes shift (∼140 nm) due to the intrinsic mechanism of the intramolecular charge transfer process. The probe Toc-Ac showed a highly sensitive response to Cys (the detection limit was 3.86 × 10-8 M) in aqueous solution and was successfully applied for detecting endogenous Cys in living cells and mice.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is an indispensable small organic molecule containing sulfhydryl groups, which has essential regulatory effects on the physiological process of human body. In this work, a red emission fluorescent probe TCFQ-Cys was designed and exploited based on 2-(3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethylfuran-2(5H)-ylidene) malononitrile-derivatives. The probe could effectively monitor Cys through the typical acrylate cleavage. The detecting system showed a red emission at 633 nm and the fluorescence was stable within the pH range of 6-9. The detection could be completed in 30 min. TCFQ-Cys presented high sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.133 μM and high selectivity towards Cys from other biological mercaptans. The most important feature was that the system had a wide linear range of 0-300 μM, which covered the physiological requirements of Cys detection. Subsequently, we conducted the biological imaging of Cys in MCF-7 cells and Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). Therefore, TCFQ-Cys had a practical application prospect for further investigating the physiological function of Cys.

Abstract
A new colorimetric and fluorescence probe NRSH based on Nile-red chromophore for the detection of biothiols has been developed, exhibiting high selectivity towards biothiols over other interfering species. NRSH shows a blue shift in absorption peak upon reacting with biothiols, from 587 nm to 567 nm, which induces an obvious color change from blue to pink and exhibits a 35-fold fluorescence enhancement at 645 nm in red emission range. NRSH displays rapid (<1 min) response for H2S, which is faster than other biothiols (>5 min). The detection limits of probe NRSH towards biothiols are very low (22.05 nM for H2S, 34.04 nM for Cys, 107.28 nM for GSH and 113.65 nM for Hcy). Furthermore, NRSH is low cytotoxic and can be successfully applied as a bioimaging tool for real-time monitoring biothiols in HeLa cells. In addition, fluorescence mechanism of probe NRSH is further understood by theoretical calculations.
