Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a chiral self-assembled fluorescent probe with spirolactone coumarin properties and a preparation method thereof, and specifically belongs to the technical field of drug molecule detection. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, chiral self-assembled fluorescent sensors have shown great application potential in the fields of chemical sensing and drug monitoring. Their unique chiral recognition ability and high sensitivity are widely used in drug analysis and detection. Coumarin, as an important fluorescent dye, its unique optical properties and chemical structure make it an ideal choice for fluorescent probes. The high quantum yield, good photostability and extensive modification of coumarin give it unique advantages in the design and application of fluorescent probes. The fluorescent properties of coumarin enable it to emit strong and stable light signals in complex biological environments, thus achieving highly sensitive detection of biomolecules. For example, by introducing different functional groups on the coumarin molecule, selective recognition and labeling of specific biomolecules can be achieved. In 2024, the present invention first reported the preparation and application of a self-assembled SPINOL chiral fluorescent probe, introducing thiophene at the 6,6'-positions of spirolbisphenol, which has excellent recognition for the chiral insecticide fipronil.
[0003] Indomethacin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, but excessive intake will cause various adverse effects. Excessive indomethacin will over-inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins in the gastric mucosa, weaken the protective barrier of the gastric mucosa, may lead to gastric and duodenal ulcers, and in severe cases, it will cause gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, and symptoms such as hematemesis and melena. In addition, excessive indomethacin may affect the normal function of the central nervous system, resulting in symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and tinnitus. In severe cases, it may even cause anemia and liver function damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a probe for detecting indomethacin. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above situation, the present invention proposes a chiral self-assembled fluorescent probe with spirolactone coumarin properties and a preparation method thereof, and applies it to the selective detection and recognition of the anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin.
[0005] The present invention uses 1,1'-spirobi[1H-indene]-7,7'-diol as a chiral skeleton unit, introduces a coumarin group, and utilizes the high quantum yield, good photostability and recognition ability of coumarin to prepare a chiral self-assembled fluorescent probe with spirolactone coumarin properties.

[0007]
[0008] A method for preparing a chiral self-assembled fluorescent probe with coumarin characteristics comprises the following steps:
[0009] Step 1: Add butyllithium and anhydrous DMF to a super-dry tetrahydrofuran solution of 7,7'-bis(methoxymethoxy)-1,1'-spirodihydronaphthalene of configuration S or configuration R, stir and react at 0 °C, extract and dry after quenching; dissolve the crude product in a mixed solution of methanol and tetrahydrofuran, add hydrochloric acid and react at room temperature, after quenching the reaction, extract, dry, concentrate and separate by column chromatography to obtain 6-formyl-2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spiro[indene]-7,7'-diol or 6,6'-bisformyl-2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spiro[indene]-7,7'-diol of configuration S or configuration R;
[0010] Step 2: Add cyanoacetic acid, ammonium acetate and acetic acid to 6-formyl-2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spiro[indene]-7,7'-diol or 6,6'-bisformyl-2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spiro[indene]-7,7'-diol of configuration S or configuration R, heat and reflux in a pressure-resistant bottle, after the reaction is completed, extract, dry, concentrate and separate by column chromatography to obtain a chiral self-assembled fluorescent probe with coumarin characteristics.
[0011] In the said Step 1: When the molar ratio of 7,7'-bis(methoxymethoxy)-1,1'-spirodihydronaphthalene to butyllithium is 1:1 - 2, the main product is 6-formyl-2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spiro[indene]-7,7'-diol; when the molar ratio of 7,7'-bis(methoxymethoxy)-1,1'-spirodihydronaphthalene to butyllithium is 1:2 - 6, the main product is 6,6'-bisformyl-2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spiro[indene]-7,7'-diol.
[0012] In the said Step 2: The equivalent ratio of 6-formyl-2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spiro[indene]-7,7'-diol or 6,6'-bisformyl-2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spiro[indene]-7,7'-diol of configuration S or configuration R to cyanoacetic acid is 1:1.5 - 3, and the equivalent ratio of cyanoacetic acid to ammonium acetate is 1:1.
[0013] The reaction equation of the present invention is as follows:
[0014]
[0015] Advantages of the present invention:
[0016] This invention combines the helical chirality, rigid structure, and excellent chiral recognition capabilities of spirobiphenols with the excellent optical properties, high fluorescence quantum efficiency, and large Stokes shift of coumarin, creating the first chiral fluorescent probe with spirocoumarin characteristics. The synergistic effect of the helical chirality of 2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spirobi[1H-indene]-7,7'-diol (SPINOL) and the coumarin fragment not only enhances the coumarin probe's selective recognition capabilities, but also improves its stability and sensitivity in complex environments, reduces background noise, and thus increases the detection sensitivity of the fluorescent probe.
