Multi-channel colorimetric and fluorescent probes for differentiating between cysteine and glutathione/homocysteine.

چکیده
Three fluorescent probes TP1–3 for thiols were rationally designed and synthesized to distinguish cysteine (Cys) from glutathione (GSH)/homocysteine (Hcy). TP1–3 are almost non-fluorescent and colorless 4-nitro-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives. Upon the substitution of nitro by Cys, TP1–3 were transformed into weakly fluorescent green-emitting 4-amino analogs via highly fluorescent blue-emitting thioether intermediates. The three-channel signaling capability allows discrimination between Cys and GSH/Hcy. The fluorescence intensity at 498 nm was linearly proportional to GSH concentration in the range of 0-20 μM, and the detection limit was 5 × 10(-8) mol L(-1). A good linear relationship between A446/A350 and Cys concentration was found in the range of 0-70 μM, and the detection limit was 2 × 10(-7) mol L(-1). Moreover, TP3 was used for living cell imaging as well as for detecting mercapto-containing proteins.

A coumarin-based thiol probe featuring the 1,4-addition reaction of thiols to nitroolefin was reported. The molecular probe exhibited higher selectivity toward biothiols (Cys, Hcy and GSH) than other amino acids.
متن کاملThiol Reactive Probes and Chemosensors
Thiols are important molecules in the environment and in biological processes. Cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) play critical roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. The selective detection of thiols using reaction-based probes and sensors is very important in basic research and in disease diagnosis. This review focuses o...
متن کاملA multi-signal fluorescent probe for simultaneously distinguishing and sequentially sensing cysteine/homocysteine, glutathione, and hydrogen sulfide in living cells.
Biothiols, which have a close network of generation and metabolic pathways among them, are essential reactive sulfur species (RSS) in the cells and play vital roles in human physiology. However, biothiols possess highly similar chemical structures and properties, resulting in it being an enormous challenge to simultaneously discriminate them from each other. Herein, we develop a unique fluoresc...
متن کاملA Fast Response Highly Selective Probe for the Detection of Glutathione in Human Blood Plasma
A fluorescent probe for glutathione (GSH) detection was developed. Our study indicates a possible mechanism which couples a conjugate addition and micelle-catalyzed large membered ring formation/elimination sequence. This method enables excellent selectivity towards GSH over other biological thiols such as cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy). The proposed method is precise with a relative sta...
