Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fluorescent probe technology, specifically relating to a benzothiazole fluorescent molecule, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Boric acid compounds, as important reagents in modern organic synthesis, play an irreplaceable role in catalysis, materials science, and biomedicine. In recent years, their groundbreaking application in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has attracted particular attention: through tumor-targeted boric acid drugs (such as 4-boron-L-phenylalanine, approved in Japan in 2020, trade name...). ) Specifically enriched within cancer cells 10 B isotope, triggered by thermal neutron radiation 10 B(n,α) 7 Li nucleus reactions generate high-energy alpha particles that precisely kill tumor cells. However, the efficacy of BNCT directly depends on the location of the tumor. 10 The concentration of boron (needs to be maintained at ≥20 μg / g) is crucial, but existing clinical monitoring methods such as inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES / MS) require tissue ashing and cannot resolve the subcellular localization of boron. Although secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and positron emission tomography (PET) can achieve spatial resolution, they are limited by bottlenecks such as high equipment cost and complex preprocessing.

[0003] Against this backdrop, the development of novel fluorescent probe technology has become a key breakthrough in overcoming the detection dilemma. With its advantages of non-invasiveness, real-time in-situ imaging, single-cell resolution, and controllable cost, it is expected to achieve dynamic tracking and precise quantification of BPA metabolism in the tumor microenvironment, providing key technical support for optimizing BNCT dosing regimens and evaluating efficacy, while also opening up innovative methodological pathways for the bioanalysis of borate drugs.

[0075] Example 6: Selectivity study of probe molecules for BPA

[0076] To test the selectivity of the probe molecule for BPA, the fluorescence response of the probe molecule to different types of metal ions was tested. The tested ions included Na. + K + Ca 2+ Mg 2+ Fe 2+ Fe 3+ Co 2+ Zn 2+ Cd 2+ Al 3+ Cu 2+ The detection concentration of metal ions is 0.2 mM, and the working concentration of the probe molecules is 20 μM.

With I 562nm A scatter plot is created with BPA concentration on the x-axis and P(BPA concentration) on the y-axis, as shown below. Figure 12 , 13 As shown in Figure 14.

[0087] (4) Figure 12 Linear fitting was performed on the linear interval (0–80 μM) to obtain the standard curve equation; Figure 13 Linear fitting was performed on the linear interval (0–80 μM) to obtain the standard curve equation; Figure 14Linear fitting was performed on the linear interval (0–80 μM) to obtain the standard curve equation.

[0088] (5) Add BPA standard solutions of known concentrations (30, 50, and 70 μM) to urine samples that have been diluted 10 times, and record probe I. 562nm The fluorescence intensity was measured, and the BPA content in the actual urine was determined according to the standard linear equation. This step was repeated three times. The test results are shown in Table 2.
