[PMID: 38482846 PMCID: PMC11061839 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jnatprod.3c00961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
Advancements in small-molecule research have created the need for sensitive techniques to accurately study biological processes in living systems. Fluorescent-labeled probes have become indispensable tools, particularly those that use boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes. Terpenes and terpenoids are organic compounds found in nature that offer diverse biological activities, and BODIPY-based probes play a crucial role in studying these compounds. Monoterpene-BODIPY conjugates have exhibited potential for staining bacterial and fungal cells. Sesquiterpene-BODIPY derivatives have been used to study sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA), indicating their potential for drug development. Owing to their unique properties, diterpenes have been investigated using BODIPY conjugates to evaluate their mechanisms of action. Triterpene-BODIPY conjugates have been synthesized for biological studies, with different spacers affecting their cytotoxicity. Fluorescent probes, inspired by terpenoid-containing vitamins, have also been developed. Derivatives of tocopherol, coenzyme Q10, and vitamin K1 can provide insights into their oxidation-reduction abilities. All these probes have diverse applications, including the study of cell membranes to investigate immune responses and antioxidant properties. Further research in this field can help better understand and use terpenes and terpenoids in various biological contexts.

Effect of meso-substituents and medium properties on the photo- and pH-stability, penetration efficiency into bacterial and microscopic fungi cells of terpene-BODIPY conjugates. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 308:123701. [PMID: 38070313 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
In order to expand the arsenal of tools and areas for practical use of BODIPY dyes as bifunctional fluorescent theranostics, we studied the effect of the meso-substituents nature and medium properties on photo- and pH-stability, efficiency of singlet oxygen generation, and affinity to biostructures of terpene-BODIPY conjugates. The BODIPYs fused with myrtenol or thiotherpenoid via carboxylic acid residues exhibit high stability over a wide pH range and the presence of a bulky substituent at the meso-position of BODIPY conjugates increases their photostability two-fold compared to structurally related meso-unsubstituted analogues. Furthermore, the photodegradation rate of the conjugates directly depends on their ability to generate singlet oxygen and the course probability of the corresponding red-ox reactions involving reactive oxygen species. The conjugate of BODIPY with a thiotherpenoid demonstrated high ability to penetrate the membranes of filamentous and yeast-like fungi and bind to membrane of organelles in the fungal cell. At the same time, this compound also had a high ability to penetrate into biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae and into bacterial cells within the matrix, which makes this compound promising for staining intracellular structures of eukaryotic cells and bacteria embedded into biofilms.
