Styrylpyridinium Derivatives for Fluorescent Cell Imaging. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1245. [PMID: 37765053 PMCID: PMC10535741 DOI: 10.3390/ph16091245] [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: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
A set of styrylpyridinium (SP) compounds was synthesised in order to study their spectroscopic and cell labelling properties. The compounds comprised different electron donating parts (julolidine, p-dimethylaminophenyl, p-methoxyphenyl, 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl), conjugated linkers (vinyl, divinyl), and an electron-withdrawing N-alkylpyridinium part. Geminal or bis-compounds incorporating two styrylpyridinium (bis-SP) moieties at the 1,3-trimethylene unit were synthesised. Compounds comprising a divinyl linker and powerful electron-donating julolidine donor parts possessed intensive fluorescence in the near-infrared region (maximum at ~760 nm). The compounds had rather high cytotoxicity towards the cancerous cell lines HT-1080 and MH-22A; at the same time, basal cytotoxicity towards the NIH3T3 fibroblast cell line ranged from toxic to harmful. SP compound 6e had IC50 values of 1.0 ± 0.03 µg/mL to the cell line HT-1080 and 0.4 µg/mL to MH-22A; however, the basal toxicity LD50 was 477 mg/kg (harmful). The compounds showed large Stokes' shifts, including 195 nm for 6a,b, 240 nm for 6e, and 325 and 352 nm for 6d and 6c, respectively. The highest photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) values were observed for 6a,b, which were 15.1 and 12.2%, respectively. The PLQY values for the SP derivatives 6d,e (those with a julolidinyl moiety) were 0.5 and 0.7%, respectively. Cell staining with compound 6e revealed a strong fluorescent signal localised in the cell cytoplasm, whereas the cell nuclei were not stained. SP compound 6e possessed self-assembling properties and formed liposomes with an average diameter of 118 nm. The obtained novel data on near-infrared fluorescent probes could be useful for the development of biocompatible dyes for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The changes in absorption and emission of fluorescent materials with the introduction of Lewis acids have been frequently observed due to either physical or chemical interactions. In this mini-review, we elaborate how Lewis acids adjust the optical properties and the bandgap of luminescent materials by simple coordination reactions. It is common that fluorescent materials containing Lewis basic nitrogen heterocycles are more likely to provide the feasible band gap modulation. The essence of such phenomenon originates from Lewis acid–base coordination and adducts, which highly depends on the electron-accepting property of the Lewis acids. This intermolecular mechanism, considered as post-synthesis of new luminescent compounds offers promising applications in sensing and electroluminescence by manipulating the frontier molecular orbital energy levels of organic conjugated materials, simply based on Lewis acid–base chemistry.

Abstract
Bathochromic or hypsochromic shift-type mechanofluorochromism (b-MFC or h-MFC) was found for (D-π-)2A-type azine-based fluorescent dyes OUY-2, OUK-2, and OUJ-2 possessing intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) characteristics from two (diphenylamino)carbazole-thiophene units as D (electron-donating group)-π (π-conjugated bridge) moieties to a pyridine, pyrazine, or triazine ring as A (electron-withdrawing group): grinding of the recrystallized dyes induced red or blue shifts of the fluorescent colors, that is, bathochromic or hypsochromic shifts of the fluorescence maximum wavelengths (λfl-solid max). The degrees of MFC evaluated by the absolute value of differences (Δλ fl-solid max) in λfl-solid max before and after grinding of the recrystallized dyes increased in the order of OUY-2 (+7 nm) < OUK-2 (-17 nm) < OUJ-2 (+45 nm), so that OUJ-2 exhibits obvious b-MFC, but OUK-2 exhibits h-MFC. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) demonstrated that the recrystallized dyes were in the crystalline state but the ground dyes were in the amorphous state. When the ground solids were heated above their crystallization temperatures (T c), the colors and fluorescent colors recovered to the original ones before grinding or converted to other ones, that is, heating the ground solids in the amorphous state induced the recrystallization to recover the original microcrystals or to form other microcrystals due to polymorph transformation. However, (D-π-)2Ph-type fluorescent dye OTK-2 having a phenyl group as a substitute for the azine rings exhibited non-obvious MFC. Molecular orbital (MO) calculations indicated that the values of the dipole moments (μ g) in the ground state were 4.0 debye, 1.4 debye, 3.2 debye, and 2.9 debye for OTK-2, OUY-2, OUK-2, and OUJ-2, respectively. Consequently, on the basis of experimental results and MO calculations, we have demonstrated that the MFC of the (D-π-)2A-type azine-based fluorescent dyes is attributed to reversible switching between the crystalline state of the recrystallized dyes and the amorphous state of the ground dyes with changes in the intermolecular dipole-dipole and π-π interactions before and after grinding. Moreover, this work reveals that (D-π-)2A fluorescent dyes possessing dipole moments of ca. 3 debye as well as moderate or intense ICT characteristics make it possible to activate the MFC.

Abstract
The donor-acceptor-π-conjugated (D-π-)2A fluorescent dyes OUY-2, OUK-2 and OUJ-2 with two (diphenylamino)carbazole thiophene units as D (electron-donating group)-π (π-conjugated bridge) moiety and a pyridine, pyrazine or triazine ring as electron-withdrawing group (electron-accepting group, A) have been designed and synthesized. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the three dyes were investigated by photoabsorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, Lippert-Mataga plots, cyclic voltammetry and density functional theory calculations. The photoabsorption maximum (λmax,abs) and the fluorescence maximum (λmax,fl) for the intramolecular charge-transfer characteristic band of the (D-π-)2A fluorescent dyes show bathochromic shifts in the order of OUY-2 < OUK-2 < OUJ-2. Moreover, the photoabsorption bands of the (D-π-)2A fluorescent dyes are nearly independent of solvent polarity, while the fluorescence bands showed bathochromic shifts with increasing solvent polarity (i.e., positive fluorescence solvatochromism). The Lippert-Mataga plots for OUY-2, OUK-2 and OUJ-2 indicate that the Δμ (= μe - μg) value, which is the difference in the dipole moment of the dye between the excited (μe) and the ground (μg) states, increases in the order of OUY-2 < OUK-2 < OUJ-2. Therefore, the fact explains our findings that OUJ-2 shows large bathochromic shifts of the fluorescence maxima in polar solvents, as well as the Stokes shift values of OUJ-2 in polar solvents are much larger than those in nonpolar solvents. The cyclic voltammetry of OUY-2, OUK-2 and OUJ-2 demonstrated that there is little difference in the HOMO energy level among the three dyes, but the LUMO energy levels decrease in the order of OUY-2 > OUK-2 > OUJ-2. Consequently, this work reveals that for the (D-π-)2A fluorescent dyes OUY-2, OUK-2 and OUJ-2 the bathochromic shifts of λmax,abs and λmax,fl and the lowering of the LUMO energy level are dependent on the electron-withdrawing ability of the azine ring, which increases in the order of OUY-2 < OUK-2 < OUJ-2.

Abstract
In this work, 9-methyl pyrido[3,4-b]indole-boron trifluoride complex, 9-MP-BF3, was designed and developed as a colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent sensor for the detection of water in the low- and high-water-content regions in solvents. In the low-water-content region, a new photoabsorption band at around 360 nm and a fluorescence band at around 370 nm gradually appeared due to the dissociation of 9-MP-BF3 into 9-methyl pyrido[3,4-b]indole (9-MP) by water molecules with a simultaneous decrease in the photoabsorption band at around 390 nm and the fluorescence band at around 460 nm originating from 9-MP-BF3. In the moderate-water-content region, the photoabsorption band at around 360 nm and the fluorescence band at around 370 nm gradually shifted to a longer wavelength region with an increase in the fluorescence intensity, which could be ascribed to the formation of a hydrogen-bonded complex (9-MP-H2O) with water molecules. Furthermore, in the high-water-content region, two photoabsorption bands at around 305 nm and 390 nm and one fluorescence band at around 460 nm gradually reappeared with simultaneous decrease in the photoabsorption band at around 290 nm and the fluorescence band at around 370 nm, which was attributed to the formation of a hydrogen-bonded proton transfer complex (9-MP-H+) with water molecules. Thus, this work revealed the mechanism of a colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent sensor based on pyrido[3,4-b]indole-boron trifluoride complex for the detection of water over a wide range from low water content to high water content in solvents.
