Abstract
Dual-state emission luminogens (DSEgens), as a new type of luminescent materials that can effectively emit light in solution and solid state, have attracted tremendous attention due to their potential application in chemical sensing, biological imaging, organic electronic devices, etc. In this study, two new rofecoxib derivatives ROIN and ROIN-B have been synthesized, and their photophysical properties are fully investigated by experimental studies and theoretical calculations. The key intermediate ROIN, resulting from one-step conjugation of rofecoxib with an indole unit, shows the classical aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect. Meanwhile, by introducing a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group on the basis of ROIN without enlarging the π conjugation system, ROIN-B was successfully developed with an obvious DSE property. In addition, both fluorescent behaviors and their transformation from ACQ to DSE were elucidated clearly by going through the analysis of their single X-ray data. Moreover, the target ROIN-B, as a new DSEgens, also displays reversible mechanofluorochromism and lipid droplet-specific imaging ability in HeLa cells. Taken together, this work proposes a precise molecular design strategy to afford a new DSEgens, which may provide guidance for the future exploration of new DSEgens.

Chem Asian J 2023; 18:e202201291. [PMID: 36790100 DOI: 10.1002/asia.202201291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
Lipid droplet (LD) dysfunction can result in various diseases, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Imaging agents built on dual-state emission (DSE) molecules that fluoresce in both dilute solutions and the aggregated state are receiving attention as this type of probe could provide bright fluorescence signals at variable concentrations, avoiding false signal readout caused by the concentration fluctuation in living systems. Herein, we identified a red emissive molecule featuring DSE, from three newly synthesized molecules, for specific detection of LDs in live cells. The bioimaging abilities have been well confirmed by optical spectroscopies, theoretical calculations, cell experiments, as well as animal studies. The DSE probe is effective for LD detection at concentrations ranging from 1 μM to 100 μM while retaining high brightness and signal fidelity. This study provides a knowledge base for the future design of DSE-active fluorescent probes for understanding LD-related diseases.
