Xanthamide fluorescent dyes.

چکیده
Two derivatives of fluorescein, termed "xanthamides," were prepared from fluorescein, an inexpensive dye. Relative to fluorescein, which contains a 6-phenolic OH and a 2'-carboxyl, the first derivative (5) contains a carboxymethyl ether at the 6-position and a secondary amide of dimethylamine at the 2'-position. The second derivative (8) contains a corresponding 6-methyl ether and a secondary amide of isonipecotic acid at the 2'-position. Thus, both derivatives contain a single carboxyl group, making them monofunctional. Especially 8 is much more photostable (about 10 times) than either fluorescein or BODIPY FL dye when exposed to ordinary light (tungsten light bulb). When tested for relative response in a capillary electrophoresis instrument fitted with an argon ion laser detector (488 nm) and a broad band emission filter, 8 was found to be 4-fold less bright than fluorescein. Both xanthamides, consistent with prior literature on 6-O-alkylated fluorescein, exhibit relatively pH-independent fluorescence (pH 4-10 was tested here). Because they possess two absorbance maximums, the xanthamides can be excited over a broader wavelength range than fluorescein or BODIPY. These collective properties of the xanthamides will make them advantageous over fluorescein and BODIPY dyes for some applications.

We synthesized four novel benzoxazolic and benzimidazolic derivatives of 6-hydroxycoumarin and their photophysical properties were studied. The products with brilliant yellow color shades declared green fluorescence. The emission peaks of the products appeared 456–474 nm. The important characteristic for fluorescent compounds, the Stokes shift νA-νF, oscillator strength f, and fluorescence quan...
متن کاملEvaluation of Chemical Fluorescent Dyes as a Protein Conjugation Partner for Live Cell Imaging
To optimize live cell fluorescence imaging, the choice of fluorescent substrate is a critical factor. Although genetically encoded fluorescent proteins have been used widely, chemical fluorescent dyes are still useful when conjugated to proteins or ligands. However, little information is available for the suitability of different fluorescent dyes for live imaging. We here systematically analyze...

Screening of bead-based peptide libraries against fluorescent dye-labeled target proteins was found to be significantly influenced by the dye characteristics. Commercially available red fluorescent dyes with net negative charges adversely showed strong interactions with library beads. The introduction of zwitterionic dyes significantly reduced the unwanted interactions, which sheds light upon u...
