A FRET-based probe for fluorescence sensing of sulfide/sulfite analytes, using a novel long-wavelength water-soluble 7-hydroxycoumarin as report…
2015
International audience; A FRET-based fluorescent probe for the detection of sulfide and/or sulfite in aqueous buffer, was constructed by connecting the quencher moiety nitrobenzofurazan (7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole, NBD) to a water-soluble 3-(2-benzimidazolyl)-7-hydroxycoumarin carboxylic acid through a piperazine linker. This probe exhibits good selectivity and high sensitivity for sulfite and sulfide over cysteine and other potential analytes. Furthermore, this is one of the few examples of fluorogenic coumarins whose solubility in water is maintained upon its conversion into reaction-based fluorescent probes.
New insights into the water-solubilization of thiol-sensitive fluorogenic probes based on long-wavelength 7-hydroxycoumarin scaffolds
2014
Abstract The synthesis and photophysical properties of novel water-soluble phenol-based fluorophores derived from 3-benzothiazolyl-7-hydroxycoumarin and emitting in the range 485–631 nm are described. Further conversion into thiol-sensitive fluorogenic probes through the chemical modification of their hydroxyl group was next investigated. Depending on the type of thiol-reactive quenching moiety used (2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl ester, 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether or benzoquinone-type Michael acceptors) and the water-solubilizing group(s) pre-introduced into the coumarin core, dramatic differences in the thiol-induced fluorescence activation of these pro-fluorophores under physiological conditions…
A Synthetic Route to 3-(Heteroaryl)-7-hydroxycoumarins Designed for Biosensing Applications
2014
A straightforward method to synthesize 3-(2-benzimidazolyl)-7-hydroxycoumarins, based on the condensation reaction of 7-acetoxy-3-formylcoumarin with various C- and/or N-substituted ortho-phenylenediamine derivatives is presented. This unusual approach proved particularly effective for introducing different hydrophilic groups (carboxylic or sulfonic acids or trimethylalkylammonium moieties) onto the heteroaryl scaffold, leading to cyan-green emitting coumarins that were both water-soluble and strongly fluorescent under physiological conditions. The further extension of this condensation reaction to bis(2-aminophenyl)diselenide enabled the first synthesis of 3-(2-benzoselenazolyl)-7-hydroxyc…
