[PMID: 38430415 DOI: 10.1007/s10895-024-03637-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) plays an important role in various physiological activities. It has the potential to be used as a treatment for certain diseases such as alcohol poisoning, acute hypertension, and atherosclerosis. However, traditional methods for detecting HNO are challenging due to its rapid polymerization and elimination into N2O. Therefore, it is crucial to establish direct and effective HNO detection methods to comprehend these physiological processes better. In this study, a new near-infrared fluorescent probe called HXM-P based on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism was designed and synthesized. This probe employs 2-((6-hydroxy-2,3dihydro-1 H-xanthen-4-yl)methylene)malononitrile as a fluorophore and 2-(diphenylphosphine) benzoate as a recognition group. The results showed that probe HXM-P can detect HNO with high sensitivity (1.07 × 10- 8 M). A good linear correlation was observed between the fluorescence intensities at 640 nm and the concentrations of HNO in the range of 0-80 µM (R2 = 0.997). Moreover, probe HXM-P exhibited a rapid response rate (within 15 s) toward HNO, and the fluorescent intensity reached a plateau within 5 min, making it easier to track the highly reactive and short-lived HNO in living systems. Additionally, HXM-P was successfully employed for imaging HNO in HepG2 cells.

Reusable HNO Sensors Derived from Cu Cyclam: A DFT Study on the Mechanistic Origin of High Reactivity and Favorable Conformation Changes and Potential Improvements. Inorg Chem 2024; 63:3586-3598.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) exhibits unique favorable properties in regulating biological and pharmacological activities. However, currently, there is only one Cu-based HNO sensor that can be recycled for reusable detection, which is a Cu cyclam derivative with a mixed thia/aza ligand. To elucidate the missing mechanistic origin of its high HNO reactivity and subsequent favorable conformation change toward a stable CuI product that is critical to be oxidized back by the physiological O2 level for HNO detection again, a density functional theory (DFT) computational study was performed. It not only reproduced experimental structural and reaction properties but also, more importantly, revealed an unknown role of the coordination atom in high reactivity. Its conformation change mechanism was found to not follow the previously proposed one but involve a novel favorable rotation pathway. Several newly designed complexes incorporating beneficial effects of coordination atoms and substituents to further enhance HNO reactivity while maintaining or even improving favorable conformation changes for reusable HNO detection were computationally validated. These novel results will facilitate the future development of reusable HNO sensors for true spatiotemporal resolution and repeated detection.

Abstract
Early and rapid diagnosis of tumors is essential for clinical treatment or management. In contrast to conventional means, bioimaging has the potential to accurately locate and diagnose tumors at an early stage. Fluorescent probe has been developed as an ideal tool to visualize tumor sites and to detect biological molecules which provides a requirement for noninvasive, real-time, precise, and specific visualization of structures and complex biochemical processes in vivo. Rencently, the development of synthetic organic chemistry and new materials have facilitated the development of near-infrared small molecular sensing platforms and nanoimaging platforms. This provides a competitive tool for various fields of bioimaging such as biological structure and function imaging, disease diagnosis, in situ at the in vivo level, and real-time dynamic imaging. This review systematically focused on the recent progress of small molecular near-infrared fluorescent probes and nano-fluorescent probes as new biomedical imaging tools in the past 3-5 years, and it covers the application of tumor biomarker sensing, tumor microenvironment imaging, and tumor vascular imaging, intraoperative guidance and as an integrated platform for diagnosis, aiming to provide guidance for researchers to design and develop future biomedical diagnostic tools.

Abstract
HNO has broad chemical and biomedical properties. Metal complexes and derivatives are widely used to make excellent HNO sensors. However, their favorable mechanistic origins are largely unknown. Cu cyclam is a useful platform to make excellent HNO sensors including imaging agents. A quantum chemical study of Cu cyclams with various substitutions was performed, which reproduced diverse experimental reactivities. Structural, electronic, and energetic profiles along reaction pathways show the importance of HNO binding and a proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism for HNO reaction. Results reveal that steric effect is primary and electronic factor is secondary (if the redox potential is sufficient), but their interwoven effects can lead to unexpected reactivity, which looks mysterious experimentally but can be explained computationally. This work suggests rational substituent design ideas and recommends a theoretical study of a new design to save time and cost due to its subtle effect.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) has been identified as an important signaling molecule in biological systems, and it plays critical roles in many physiological processes. However, its detection remains challenging because of the limited sensitivity and/or specificity of existing detection methods. Low-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and imaging, coupled with the use of exogenous paramagnetic probes, have been indispensable techniques for the in vivo measurement of various physiological parameters owing to their specificity, noninvasiveness and good depth of magnetic field penetration in animal tissues. However, the in vivo detection of HNO levels by EPR spectroscopy and imaging is limited due to the need for improved probes. We report the first "turn on-response" EPR probe for HNO utilizing a Cu(ii) coordination-containing TAM radical (denoted as CuII[TD1]). Upon reaction with HNO, CuII[TD1] shows a 16.1-fold turn-on in EPR signal with a low detection limit of 1.95 μM. Moreover, low-temperature EPR spectroscopic and ESI-MS studies showed that the sensing mechanism relies on the reduction of Cu(ii) by HNO. Lastly, CuII[TD1] is selective for HNO over other reactive nitrogen and oxygen species except for some reductants (Cys and Asc). This new Cu(ii) coordination-containing TAM radical shows great potential for in vivo EPR HNO applications in the absence of reducing agents and provides insights into developing improved and targeted EPR HNO probes for biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this work, a natural product probe, kaempferol, which exhibited aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic in water/tetrahydrofuran (THF) binary solvent was explored. The probe showed high resistance to photobleaching capacity and excellent selectivity towards Al3+ in the aggregation state. Upon the addition of Al3+, the probe displayed more than 12-fold (I486/I421) fluorescence intensity enhancement, accompanied by a color change, suggesting that the aggregated kaempferol can be used as a ratiometric probe for Al3+ detecting. Notably, promising selectivity to Al3+ within the pH range of 6-8 made the probe suitable for physiological conditions. Further Arabidopsis thaliana root imaging experiment demonstrated that the probe could image Al3+ in the plant.
