[PMID: 38340450 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.123990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Pyrophosphoric acid (PPi) is a crucial indicator for monitoring adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis processes, and abnormal PPi levels in the human body seriously threaten human health. Thus the efficient detection of the concentration of PPi in the aqueous solution is important and urgent. This paper described the successful synthesis of a tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivative, named as TPE-4B, which contained four chelate pyridinium groups exhibiting aggregation-induced emission characteristics. TPE-4B was explicitly developed for the selective and sensitive fluorescence detection of PPi in aqueous solutions, showing a fluorescence "turn-on" response, and the detection limit was 65 nM. The four chelate pyridinium moieties of TPE-4B exhibited robust electrostatic interactions and binding capacity towards PPi, leading to the formation of aggregations, which was confirmed by zeta potential, dynamic light scattering, and scanning electron microscopy. Compared with free TPE-4B in the aqueous solution, the zeta potential of aggregations decreased from 20.7 to 4.2 mV, the average diameter increased from 155 to 403 nm, and the morphology transformed from porous nanostructures into a block-like format. Leveraging these properties, TPE-4B is a promising candidate for a "turn-on" fluorescence sensor designed to detect PPi in the aqueous solution.

Abstract
A novel class of polymers and oligomers of chiral folding chirality has been designed and synthesized, showing structurally compacted triple-column/multiple-layer frameworks. Both uniformed and differentiated aromatic chromophoric units were successfully constructed between naphthyl piers of this framework. Screening monomers, catalysts, and catalytic systems led to the success of asymmetric catalytic Suzuki-Miyaura polycouplings. Enantio- and diastereochemistry were unambiguously determined by X-ray structural analysis and concurrently by comparison with a similar asymmetric induction by the same catalyst in the asymmetric synthesis of a chiral three-layered product. The resulting chiral polymers exhibit intense fluorescence activity in a solid form and solution under specific wavelength irradiation.

Abstract
Supramolecular vesicles are the most popular smart nano-drug delivery systems (SDDs) because of their unique cavities, which have high loading carrying capacity and controlled-release action in response to specific stimuli. These vesicles are constructed from amphiphilic molecules via host-guest complexation, typically with targeted stimuli-responsive units, which are particularly important in biotechnology and biomedicine applications. Amphiphilic pillar[n]arenes, which are novel and functional macrocyclic host molecules, have been widely used to construct supramolecular vesicles because of their intrinsic rigid and symmetrical structure, electron-rich cavities and excellent properties. In this review, we first explain the synthesis of three types of amphiphilic pillar[n]arenes: neutral, anionic and cationic pillar[n]arenes. Second, we examine supramolecular vesicles composed of amphiphilic pillar[n]arenes recently used for the construction of SDDs. In addition, we describe the prospects for multifunctional amphiphilic pillar[n]arenes, particularly their potential in novel applications.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), detoxification enzymes that catalyze the addition of glutathione (GSH) to diverse electrophilic molecules, are often overexpressed in various tumor cells. While fluorescent probes for GSTs have often adopted the 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNs) group as the receptor unit, they usually suffer from considerable background reaction noise with GSH due to excessive electron deficiency. However, weakening this reactivity is generally accompanied by loss of sensitivity for GSTs, and therefore, finely turning down the reactivity while maintaining certain sensitivity is critical for developing a practical probe. Here, we report a rational semiquantitative strategy for designing such a practical two-photon probe by introducing a parameter adopted from the conceptual density functional theory (CDFT), the local electrophilicity ω k , to characterize this reactivity. As expected, kinetic studies established ω k as efficient to predict the reactivity with GSH, and probe NI3 showing the best performance was successfully applied to detecting GST activities in live cells and tissue sections with high sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio. Photoinduced electron transfer of naphthalimide-based probes, captured by femtosecond transient absorption for the first time and unraveled by theoretical calculations, also contributes to the negligible background noise.
