The first ER-targeting flavone-based fluorescent probe for Cys: Applications in real-time tracking in an epilepsy model and food analysis. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 324:124975. [PMID: 39154402 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
Epilepsy is one of the most commonly-seen neurological disorders, and both endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and oxidative stress (OS) have been demonstrated to be associated with epileptic seizures. As one of the three endogenous thiol-containing amino acids, cysteine (Cys) is recognized not only as an important biomarker of various biological processes but also widely used as a significant additive in the food industry. However, the exact role that Cys plays in ERS has not been well answered up to now. In this paper, we reported the first flavone-based fluorescent probe (namely BFC) with nice endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeting ability, which was capable of monitoring Cys in a fast response (3.0 min), large stokes shift (130 nm) and low detection limit (10.4 nM). The recognition mechanism of Cys could be attributed to the addition-cyclization reaction involving a Cys residue and an acrylate group, resulting in the release of the strong excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) emission molecule of benzoflavonol (BF). The low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility of the probe BFC allowed for monitoring the fluctuation of endogenous Cys levels under both ERS and OS processes, as well as in zebrafish models of epilepsy. Quantitative determination of Cys with the probe BFC was also achieved in three different food samples. Additionally, a probe-immersed test strips integrated with a smartphone device was successfully constructed for on-site colorimetric detection of Cys. Undoubtedly, our work provided a valuable tool for tracking Cys levels in both an epilepsy model and real food samples.

Abstract
A fluorescent probe of both colorimetric and ratiometric type for highly selective and sensitive detection of Cys (cysteine) is very important in biological analysis. In this work, a new colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent probe ((E)-2-(2-(5-(4-(acryloyloxy)phenyl)furan-2-yl)vinyl)-3-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-3-ium iodide, LP-1) was designed and synthesized for the detection of Cys. The reaction mechanism of LP-1 toward Cys involves a conjugate addition reaction between Cys and the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group, leading to the formation of an intermediate thioether, followed by intramolecular cyclization to produce the desired compounds LP-1-OH. At this point, the ICT process is activated, significantly increasing the fluorescence intensity of the molecules. Meanwhile, LP-1 is highly selective and sensitive to Cys identification under optimized experimental conditions. LP-1 shows a good linear relationship in the range of Cys concentration from 0.40 μM to 40 μM (R2 = 0.9942) and the limit of detection (LOD) of Cys is 0.19 μM. In addition, we have developed a simple, portable and low-cost smartphone-based high-sensitivity Cys detection method based on naked eye obvious color detection. LP-1 also has low cell toxicity and can be successfully used for biological imaging of Cys, suggesting that it is a promising biological application tool for Cys detection.

Abstract
Diphenylisoindolo[2,1-a]quinoline can be used to detect cysteine among homocysteine, glutathione, and other 19 natural amino acids. Unlike other reported probes, the response mechanism involves sulfhydryl radical nucleophilic substitution and cyclization, and thus the differences in ring-formation kinetics enable high selectivity. After treated with Cys, the response process was completed rapidly and the maximum fluorescence intensity (at 496 nm) was reached extremely fast (<1 s) when excited at 380 nm in MeCN-PBS buffer (10.0 mM, pH = 7.4, 3:7 (v/v)). The quantum yield after the reaction was increased almost 7 times to be 0.02 from 0.003. Fluorescence intensity displayed a good quantitative linear relationship in the range 1-10 μM Cys with a detection limit of 270 nM. Furthermore, the probe was demonstrated for real-time monitoring of intracellular cysteine levels within HepG2 cells in ferroptosis process.

Abstract
The small molecule biological thiols, such as Cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), play crucial roles in maintaining various cellular vital activities. In the organism, abnormal levels of small-molecule biological thiols have been associated with a variety of diseases. Therefore, quantitative determination of biological thiols, especially Cys, is significant for understanding their functions in various biological processes. Thus, in this work we designed a new fluorescent probe Ty-Cys1 with a large Stokes shift of 207 nm to monitor Cysteine. The maximum absorption wavelength of Ty-Cys1 was 418 nm, and the maximum emission wavelength was 625 nm. Significantly, the novel probe Ty-Cys1 was effectively in detecting of Cys changes in living cells, zebrafishes, and living mice.

Abstract
A pair of enantiomeric ligands, (2R,3R)-dibenzyl-2,3-bis(isonicotinoyloxy)succinate ((R,R)-L) and (2S,3S)-dibenzyl-2,3-bis(isonicotinoyloxy)succinate ((S,S)-L), are designed and synthesized. Seven copper (II) coordination polymers {[Cu((R,R)-L)Br 2 (THF)]·CH 3 CN} n ( 1a ) and {[Cu((S,S)-L)Br 2 (THF)]·CH 3 CN} n ( 1b ), {[Cu((R,R)-L)Cl 2 (THF)]·CH 3 CN} n ( 2a ) and {[Cu((S,S)-L)Cl 2 (THF)]·CH 3 CN} n ( 2b ), {[Cu((R,R)-L)(NO 3 ) 2 (CH 3 CN)]} n ( 3a ) and {[Cu((S,S)-L)(NO 3 ) 2 (CH 3 CN)]} n ( 3b ), {[Cu((R,R)-L) 2 (CH 3 CN) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 ·3CH 3 CN} n ( 4 ) were obtained through the assemblies with CuBr 2 , CuCl 2 ·2H 2 O, Cu(NO 3 ) 2 ·3H 2 O, Cu(ClO 4 ) 2 ·6H 2 O, respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and circular dichroism analysis demonstrate that 1a-3a , 1b-3b have a mono chiral one-dimensional (1D) chain-like spiral structure, while 4 have 1D chain-like structure whose metal centers have chiral propeller coordination environment. Ligand structure, anions and solvent systems have a regulatory effect on the formation of chiral helical structure. Further investigation has proved that 1a can be used as circular dichroism spectrum probe for monitoring L-/D-cysteine and L-/D-penicillamine configuration and concentration in aqueous media based on ligand interchange mechanism.

Abstract
The abnormal accumulation of copper ions (Cu2+) is considered to be one of the pathological factors of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the internal relationship between Cu2+ and AD progression is still not fully clear. In this work, a sensitive and selective near-infrared fluorescent copper ion probe (DDP-Cu) was designed for quantification and visualization of Cu2+ level in lysates, living cells, living zebrafish and brain tissues of drosophila and mice with AD. By using this probe, we demonstrated that the content of Cu2+ in the brains of AD mice and drosophila enhanced nearly 3.5-fold and 4-fold than that of normal mice and drosophila, respectively. More importantly, pathogenesis analysis revealed that elevated Cu2+ led to changes in factors closely associated with AD, such as the increasing of reactive oxygen species(ROS), the aggregation of amyloid-β protein (Aβ) and nerve cell cytotoxicity. These findings could promote the understanding of the roles between Cu2+ and AD.

Abstract
Quick and effective detection of biothiols in biological fluids has gained increasing attention due to its vital biological functions. In this paper, a novel reversible fluorescence chemosensor (L-Cu2+) based on a benzocoumarin-Cu2+ ensemble has been developed for the detection of biothiols (Cys, Hcy and GSH) in human urine. The chemosensing ensemble (L-Cu2+) contains a 2:1 stoichiometry structure between fluorescent ligand L and paramagnetic Cu2+. L was found to exclusively bond with Cu2+ ions accompanied with a dramatic fluorescence quenching maximum at 443 nm and an increase of an absorbance band centered at 378 nm. Then, the in situ generated fluorescence sluggish ensemble, L-Cu2+, was successfully used as a chemosensor for the detection of biothiols with a fluorescence "OFF-ON" response modality. Upon the addition of biothiols, the decomplexation of L-Cu2+ led to the liberation of the fluorescent ligand, L, resulting in the recovery of fluorescence and absorbance spectra. Studies revealed that L-Cu2+ possesses simple synthesis, excellent stability, high sensitivity, reliability at a broad pH range and desired renewability (at least 5 times). The practical application of L-Cu2+ was then demonstrated by the detection of biothiols in human urine sample.

Abstract
A simple benzothiazole fluorescent chemosensor was developed for the fast sequential detection of Cu2+ and biothiols through modulating the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. The compound 1 exhibits highly selective and sensitive fluorescence "on-off" recognition to Cu2+ with a 1:1 binding stoichiometry by ESIPT hinder. The in situ generated 1-Cu2+ complex can serve as an "on-off" fluorescent probe for high selectivity toward biothiols via Cu2+ displacement approach, which exerts ESIPT recovery. It is worth pointing out that the 1-Cu2+ complex shows faster for cysteins (within 1min) than other biothiols such as homocysteine (25min) and glutathione (25min). Moreover, the compound 1 displays 160nm Stoke-shift for reversibly monitoring Cu2+ and biothiols. In addition, the probe is successfully used for fluorescent cellular imaging. This strategy via modulation the ESIPT state has been used for determination of Cu2+ and Cys with satisfactory results, which further demonstrates its value of practical applications.

Abstract
A new turn-on phthalimide fluorescent probe has designed and synthesized for sensing cysteine (Cys) based on excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. It is consisted of a 3-hydroxyphthalimide derivative moiety as the fluorophore and an acrylic ester group as a recognition receptor. The acrylic ester acts as an ESIPT blocking agent. Upon addition of cystein, intermolecular nucleophilic attack of cysteine on acrylic ester releases the fluorescent 3-hydroxyphthalimide derivative, thereby enabling the ESIPT process and leading to enhancement of fluorescence. The probe displays high sensitivity, excellent selectivity and with large Stokes shift toward cysteine. The linear interval range of the fluorescence titration ranged from 0 to 1.0×10-5M and detection limit is low (6×10-8M). In addition, the probe could be used for bio-imaging in living cells.

Abstract
A dual mode fluorescent probe, which is based on an integration of fluorescein and coumarin fluorophores, was developed for the discrimination of Cys from Hcy and GSH. This probe (2) shows the advantage of quick reaction (5 min) with Cys, resulting in a strong fluorescence turn-on response when excited at 450 nm. Notably, it also demonstrates the ratiometric fluorescence property while excited by a shorter wavelength (332 nm). All of results suggest probe 2 has a high selectivity toward Cys even in the presence of other amino acids, cations and anions. The detection limit of Cys was calculated as 0.084 μM, which was much lower than the intracellular concentration. 1H NMR, MS and DFT calculation were used to reveal the detection mechanism further. Finally, this low cytotoxic probe was successfully applied in bioimaging within HepG2 cells.
