Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fluorescent probes, specifically relating to a hypobromite ratio fluorescent probe that can target mitochondria and its application in measuring, screening or detecting hypobromite; this invention also provides a method for preparing the fluorescent probe. Background Technology

[0002] Hypobromic acid (HOBr) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that is catalyzed in vivo by myeloperoxidase or eosinophil peroxidase. - It is produced by reacting with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Appropriate amounts of HOBr play an important role in antibacterial and immune defense functions. However, excessively high concentrations of HOBr in the body may cause inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer. Therefore, monitoring changes in HOBr concentration in living cells can further reveal its physiological and pathological functions.

[0003] Organic small molecule fluorescent probes have attracted much attention due to their advantages such as tunable structure, simple operation, high sensitivity, real-time in-situ detection, and application in bioimaging. Compared with other ROSs, HOBr has received less attention, and research on its detection has been relatively slow. Although HOBr has similar properties to HOCl, its concentration in the human body is significantly lower than that of HOCl, making detection more challenging. Compared to HOCl, there are limited fluorescent probes available for detecting HOBr; therefore, constructing novel HOBr fluorescent probes and applying them to monitor changes in intracellular HOBr concentration is of great significance.

[0004] Currently, several HOBr fluorescent probes have been developed, mainly based on the following mechanisms: (1) oxidation of HOBr; (2) substitution reaction induced by HOBr; and (3) cyclization reaction between amino and methylthio groups induced by HOBr. Due to the limited detection mechanisms and the large number of groups requiring protection during preparation, most of the reported probes exhibit problems such as fluorescence quenching, low sensitivity, poor stability, and complex synthesis, making it difficult to meet the needs of practical applications. In addition, ratiometric fluorescent probes can effectively eliminate interference from factors such as their own concentration, microenvironment, and excitation intensity through self-calibration, making them more suitable for accurate quantitative detection of target substances in complex biological systems. Therefore, developing ratiometric fluorescent probes for the detection of HOBr is more meaningful.

[0005] Currently, to study the role of HOBr in subcellular organelles, several HOBr fluorescent probes targeting mitochondria, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus have been developed. However, most probes exhibit fluorescence enhancement or quenching, with ratiometric fluorescence being relatively rare. Mitochondria are the main organelle producing ROSs, but currently only one ratiometric HOBr fluorescent probe targeting mitochondria exists, and it suffers from short excitation and emission peak wavelengths. Therefore, achieving efficient, specific, and ratiometric detection of HOBr in mitochondria remains a major challenge in current research. Designing a mitochondrial-targeting HOBr fluorescent probe that is easy to synthesize, has a longer wavelength, and exhibits ratiometric response characteristics is of significant theoretical and applied value for revealing the relationship between fluctuations in mitochondrial HOBr concentration and related diseases. Summary of the Invention

[0073] Example 3: Testing the time dynamics of a fluorescent probe

[0074] A 10 mL test system with a fluorescent probe concentration of 10 μM was prepared. Then, 50 μM hypobromochloric acid was added to the test system, and after shaking thoroughly, the fluorescence intensity change was immediately measured using a fluorescence spectrometer. The above determination was performed in an acetonitrile:water (V / V = 2:3, containing 10 mM PBS, pH 7.4) system. The probe used was the one prepared in Example 2, and the fluorescence spectrum was measured at 25°C. Unless otherwise specified, all spectral data are within the range of λ.ex Data was acquired at 470nm, slit size: W ex =W em =10nm.

[0075] Test results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, by Figure 4 It can be clearly seen that when hypobromous acid is added, the ratio of the fluorescence intensity of the probe at 610 nm and 560 nm reaches its maximum value within 40 seconds and remains unchanged. This indicates that the probe reacts rapidly with hypobromous acid and can provide a rapid analytical method for the determination of hypobromous acid.

[0076] Example 4: Testing the fluorescence spectra of a fluorescent probe for different concentration gradients of hypobromic acid

[0077] Multiple parallel samples with a probe concentration of 10 μM were prepared in 10 mL colorimetric tubes. Then, hypobromic acid of different concentrations (0-50 μM) was added to the test system. After shaking and mixing, the mixture was allowed to stand for 10 minutes. The ratio of fluorescence intensity at 610 nm to 560 nm was measured using a fluorescence spectrometer. The above determinations were performed in an acetonitrile:water (V / V = 2:3, containing 10 mM PBS, pH 7.4) system. The probe used was the one prepared in Example 2, and all spectral measurements were taken at 25 °C. The test results are as follows: Figure 5 and 6 As shown.

[0078] from Figure 5 It can be clearly seen that as the concentration of hypobromic acid increases, the fluorescence intensity at 610 nm gradually increases, while the fluorescence at 560 nm gradually decreases. Furthermore, from... Figure 6 As can be seen, after the probe (10 μM) is added to hypobromic acid (5-25 μM), the ratio of fluorescence intensity at 610 nm and 560 nm shows a good linear relationship with the concentration of hypobromic acid, which proves that this fluorescent probe can be used to quantitatively analyze hypobromic acid.

[0079] Example 5: Selectivity test of fluorescent probe for hypobromic acid

[0080] The analytes were: blank, hypochlorous acid, hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen, nitrite peroxide, hydroxyl radical, tert-butyl radical, glutathione (5 mM), cysteine ​​(200 μM), homocysteine ​​(200 μM), nitric oxide, nitrate ion, nitrite ion, and hypobromic acid (50 μM) (unless otherwise specified, all other analyte concentrations were 100 μM). The bar chart represents the ratio of the fluorescence intensity of the probe at 610 nm and 560 nm in the presence of different analytes. The above measurements were performed in an acetonitrile:water (V / V = 2:3, containing 10 mM PBS, pH 7.4) system. The probe used was the probe prepared in Example 2, and all spectral measurements were taken at 25 °C. Specifically, multiple parallel samples with a probe concentration of 10 μM were prepared in 10 mL colorimetric tubes, then a certain amount of analyte was added, shaken well, and allowed to stand for 10 minutes before measuring the fluorescence intensity. The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown.

[0081] from Figure 7 It can be seen that the probe of the present invention has high selectivity for hypobromoic acid and can react specifically with hypobromoic acid.

[0082] Example 6: Cytotoxicity test of fluorescent probe

[0083] The cytotoxicity of different concentrations of the probe to md-231 cells was detected using a cell counting kit (CCK-8). The probe concentrations were 0 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, 15 μM, and 20 μM, and the cells were incubated with the probe for 24 h.

[0084] from Figure 8 It is clear that the probe has low toxicity and can be used for long-term real-time detection of hypobromic acid in cell samples.

[0085] Example 7: Test of the mitochondrial target capability of fluorescent probes

[0086] After co-incubating md-231 cells with the fluorescent probe of formula (I) (5 μM) and the commercial mitochondrial red probe Mito-Tracker Red CMXROS (1 μM) for 15 minutes, the cells were washed three times with PBS, and then imaged under a fluorescence microscope after adding 2 mL of PBS solution. The excitation wavelength of the fluorescent probe of formula (I) was 425 nm, and the acquisition wavelength was 500–570 nm. The excitation wavelength of Mito-Tracker Red CMXROS was 579 nm, and the acquisition wavelength was 585–600 nm.

[0087] from Figure 9It can be clearly seen that the colocalization coefficient of the formula (I) probe and Mito-Tracker Red CMXROS is very high, reaching 0.97, which proves that it can effectively target intracellular mitochondria.

[0088] Example 8: Fluorescence microscopy imaging of exogenous HOBr in MD-231 cells using fluorescent probes

[0089] MD-231 cells were divided into four groups: Group A served as the control group, incubated with the probe (10 μM) for 15 min; Group B incubated with HOBr (20 μM) for 20 min in addition to the treatment of Group A cells; Group C was incubated with NaBr (100 μM) for 30 min, followed by incubation with the probe (10 μM) for 15 min; and Group D was incubated with NAC (200 μM, a ROS scavenger that can eliminate HOBr produced by cells) and NABr (100 μM) for 30 min, followed by incubation with the probe (10 μM) for 15 min. Confocal microscopy was then performed on all four groups of cells. Figure (e) represents a bar graph showing the ratio of fluorescence intensity in the red and green channels. The excitation light was 450 nm, with the red channel collected at 600-700 nm and the green channel at 525-575 nm.

[0090] from Figure 10 It can be clearly seen that this probe can detect exogenous hypobromonic acid in the mitochondria of MD-231 cells.

[0091] Example 9: Fluorescence microscopy imaging of endogenous HOBr in MD-231 cells using fluorescent probes

[0092] MD-231 cells were divided into four groups: Group A served as the control group, incubated with a probe (10 μM) for 15 min; Group B, in addition to the treatment of Group A cells, was pre-incubated with NAC (200 μM) for 30 min; Group C was incubated with PMA (100 ng / mL, stimulating cell production of reactive oxygen species) for 2 h, followed by incubation with a probe (10 μM) for 15 min; Group d was incubated with PMA (100 ng / mL) for 2 h, followed by incubation with NABr (100 μM) for 30 min, and then incubated with a probe (10 μM) for 15 min. Finally, confocal microscopy was performed on the four groups of cells, where (e) represents a bar graph showing the ratio of fluorescence intensity in the red and green channels. The excitation light was 450 nm, with the red channel acquired at 600-700 nm and the green channel at 525-575 nm.

[0093] from Figure 11 It can be clearly seen that this probe can detect endogenous hypobromonic acid in the mitochondria of MD-231 cells. Experiments have demonstrated that this probe can be applied to the detection of hypobromonic acid in biological samples.
