Abstract

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a colorimetric fluorescent probe for detecting hypochlorous acid and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Reactive oxygen species (ROS) refers to the general term of substances composed of oxygen, containing oxygen and having active properties in the body or natural environment. As an important representative of reactive oxygen species (ROS), people have increasingly realized its important functions in cell homeostasis, information transmission, bactericidal effect, resistance to microbial invasion of the immune system and maintenance of cell redox balance. Endogenous hypochlorous acid is produced by peroxidation reaction assisted by myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and chlorine, however, abnormal changes in hypochlorous acid level can lead to a series of many serious human diseases caused by excessive oxidative stress, including atherosclerosis, reperfusion injury, neurodegenerative diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, lung inflammation, and even cancer. Undoubtedly, exploring the level of hypochlorous acid in the process of drug-induced oxidative stress is urgently needed to further understand the exact biological role of oxidative stress. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an effective imaging tool to track hypochlorous acid in real time. Fluorescence imaging combined with small molecules has attracted widespread attention from scientific researchers due to its non-invasiveness, high sensitivity, good spatiotemporal resolution and other advantages. At present, typical small molecule fluorescent probes have shown great potential in monitoring microenvironment changes.
[0003] In recent years, more and more researchers have carried out research work on hypochlorous acid fluorescent probes. In 2023, Zhou Yang et al. in the article “Bimodal Probe Based on AIE and TICT Effects for Detection of Hypochlorite Anion in Living Cells and Its Bioimaging” in Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, Vol. 21, No. 6, pp. 1270-1274, designed a fluorescent probe SWJT-12 for detecting ClO - in living cells based on the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) mechanisms, with C=N bond as the reaction site. This synthetic probe can react with ClO -The reaction shows a large Stokes shift (144 nm) and low biological toxicity, but its detection limit is higher (0.28 muM). In 2022, Zhang Zhihao et al. synthesized a nitrobenzenesulfonyl hydrazine-based fluorescence-enhanced two-photon fluorescent probe for detecting hypochlorous acid in the article "A new fast-response two-photon fluorescent probe with modified groups for monitoring endogenous hypochlorous acid with a large opening signal and its application in zebrafish imaging" in Spectrochimica Acta Part A 278. The probe shows good recognition ability to hypochlorous acid, and the probe has good selectivity, high sensitivity, low cytotoxicity and good two-photon performance (about 65 muS) in living tissues. But the Stokes shift is small, about 85 nm, and it is greatly affected by the environmental pH value, so the application range is limited. In 2021, Wang Xinyu et al. designed and developed a new water-soluble optimized hypochlorous acid fluorescent probe 3-(2-cyanacrylate-ethyl)-4-hydroxy-N-n-propyl-1,8-naphthalimide containing C=C double bond and having intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect in "Synthesis of a hypochlorous acid fluorescent probe based on naphthalimide and its cell imaging performance research" in Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 41, Chapter 2, 719-725. The probe can complete the detection of hypochlorous acid in 10 s, the fluorescence analysis detection limit is 2.4 nmol / L, the Stokes shift is 100 nm, and the probe shows strong anti-interference, but the biological imaging ability of the probe molecule is weak.
[0004] According to the current literature reports, the hypochlorous acid fluorescent probe mainly has the following defects:
[0005] 1. The structure of the hypochlorous acid response site is relatively single;
[0006] 2. The Stokes shift of the fluorescent probe is small;
[0007] 3. It is easily disturbed by background and environmental factors, and has poor recognition specificity;
[0008] 4. The detection time is long, and the detection limit is high;
[0009] 5. The biological imaging ability is weak, and the life is short. SUMMARY
[0010] The present application aims to solve the technical problems of the existing hypochlorous acid fluorescent probe, such as complex synthesis, small Stokes shift, easily disturbed recognition performance, poor specificity, long detection time, high detection limit, and weak biological imaging ability, and provides a colorimetric fluorescent probe for naked eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid, and a preparation method and application thereof.

When irradiated by a handheld ultraviolet lamp in the presence of hypochlorous acid, the naked-eye color is dark blue, and the fluorescence intensity is quenched to 1 / 8 of the intensity of the probe. The change in fluorescence intensity is linearly related to the change in the concentration of hypochlorous acid, and the content of hypochlorous acid in the sample to be tested can be obtained through the corresponding fluorescence intensity. The qualitative and quantitative detection of hypochlorous acid in the sample to be tested is realized through visual effect or fluorescence spectrum.

[0065] From the above characterization results, the structure of the naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid colorimetric fluorescent probe prepared in this embodiment is:
[0066] The colorimetric fluorescent probe for naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid prepared in the embodiment is used to qualitatively detect hypochlorous acid in a solution by a naked-eye colorimetric method, and the following steps are performed:
[0067] I. The colorimetric fluorescent probe for naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid is dissolved in water-miscible methanol to prepare a probe stock solution A with a concentration of 1 mmol·L –1 The probe stock solution A;
[0068] II. The probe stock solution A is prepared into a fluorescent probe solution B with a concentration of 1.0×10 -5 mol / L by using a mixed solution of methanol and PBS (the concentration of the PBS buffer solution is 0.01 mol / L, and pH is 7.4) with a volume ratio of 7:3 as a solvent;
[0069] III. Hypochlorous acid is added to the fluorescent probe solution B to obtain a test solution C, and the concentration of the hypochlorous acid is 3.0×10 -4 mol / L. In the test solution, the molar ratio of the fluorescent probe to the hypochlorous acid is 1:30;
[0070] IV. After the test solution C is placed at room temperature for 30 seconds, a handheld ultraviolet lamp is used to irradiate the probe solution B and the test solution C, respectively. The probe solution B is bright green, and the test solution C is dark blue, as shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 .
[0071] This indicates that the emission wavelength and the emission intensity of the colorimetric fluorescent probe for naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid change in the presence of hypochlorous acid, and the purpose of qualitatively detecting hypochlorous acid in a solution by using the colorimetric fluorescent probe for naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid can be achieved.
[0072] The colorimetric fluorescent probe for naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid prepared in the embodiment is used to qualitatively detect hypochlorous acid in a solution by a fluorescence method, and the following steps are performed:
[0073] I. The colorimetric fluorescent probe for naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid is dissolved in water-miscible methanol to prepare a probe stock solution A with a concentration of 1 mmol·L –1 The probe stock solution A;
[0074] II. The probe stock solution A is prepared into a fluorescent probe solution B with a concentration of 1.0×10 -5 mol / L by using a mixed solution of methanol and PBS (the concentration of the PBS buffer solution is 0.01 mol / L, and pH is 7.4) with a volume ratio of 7:3 as a solvent;
[0075] III. Different analytes (F - , Cl - , Br - , I -, AcO - , CO3 2- , HCO3 - , H2PO4 - , HPO4 2- , PO4 3- , BrO3 - , NO3 - , NO2 - , SO4 2- , SO3 2- , HSO3 - , SCN - , S 2- , Cys, Hcy, GSH, Ala, Gly, ClO - , H2O2, ·OH, 1 O2, ·O2 - , t-BOOH and ONOO - ) to obtain the test solution C. In the test solution C, the concentration of the analyte is 3.0 x 10 -4 mol / L, and the molar ratio of the fluorescent probe to the analyte is 1:30;
[0076] IV. After the test solution C was placed at room temperature for 30 seconds, the fluorescence emission spectrum of each test solution was measured under the condition that the excitation wavelength was 330 nm and the excitation slit width was 3.0 nm, and the results are shown in Figure 2 .
[0077] As can be seen from Figure 2 , the fluorescence emission wavelength of the fluorescent probe solution B is 495 nm, and the fluorescence intensity is about 900 a.u. After adding different analytes, it can be seen that F - , Cl - , Br - , I - , AcO - , CO3 2- , HCO3 - , H2PO4 - , HPO4 2- , PO4 3- , BrO3 - , NO3 - , NO2 - , SO4 2- , SO3 2- , HSO3 - , SCN - , S 2- , Cys, Hcy, GSH, Ala, Gly, H2O2, ·OH, 1 O2, ·O2 - , t-BOOH and ONOO- The fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent probe solution was not affected, and the intensity was about 900 a.u. After the addition of hypochlorous acid, the maximum emission wavelength was blue-shifted to about 450 nm, and the fluorescence intensity was reduced to about 300 a.u. The quenching degree at 495 nm was 1 / 8 of the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent probe solution. Therefore, it can be determined from the fluorescence emission spectrum that the fluorescent probe solution has selective recognition characteristics for hypochlorous acid.
[0078] In order to further verify the anti-interference ability of the naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid colorimetric fluorescent probe prepared in Example 1 for recognizing hypochlorous acid, the following test was performed:
[0079] I. The naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid colorimetric fluorescent probe was dissolved in water-miscible methanol to prepare a solution with a concentration of 1 mmol·L –1 Probe stock solution A;
[0080] II. The probe stock solution A was prepared into a fluorescent probe solution B with a concentration of 1.0×10 -5 mol / L using a mixed solution of methanol / PBS (the concentration of the PBS buffer solution was 0.01 mol / L, and the pH was 7.4) with a volume ratio of 7:3 as the solvent;
[0081] III. Other analytes (F - , Cl - , Br - , I - , AcO - , CO3 2- , HCO3 - , H2PO4 - , HPO4 2- , PO4 3- , BrO3 - , NO3 - , NO2 - , SO4 2- , SO3 2- , HSO3 - , SCN - , S 2- , Cys, Hcy, GSH, Ala, Gly, H2O2, ·OH, 1 O2, ·O2 - , t-BOOH and ONOO - ) were added to the fluorescent probe solution B, respectively, to obtain different mixed solutions; in the mixed solutions, the concentration of different other analytes was 3.0×10 -4 mol / L, and the molar ratio of the fluorescent probe to other analyte was 1:30;
[0082] 4. Let the mixed solution obtained in step 3 stand for 30 seconds, then add ClO2 separately. - The solutions were mixed thoroughly to obtain different test solutions C; the concentration of hypochlorous acid in test solution C was 3.0 × 10⁻⁶. –4 mol / L, and the concentration of other analytes is 3.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol / L. -4 mol / L. At this point, the molar ratio of the fluorescent probe / anion / hypochlorous acid is 1:30:30;
[0083] 5. After the test solution C is placed at room temperature for 30 seconds, with an excitation wavelength of 330 nm and an excitation slit width of 3.0 nm, the emission intensities of probe solution B and test solution C at 495 nm are measured using 330 nm as the excitation wavelength, and recorded as T. B and Tc1~Tc 29 The result is as follows Figure 3 As shown. From Figure 3 It can be seen that hypochlorous acid reacts with other ions such as F. - Cl - ,Br - I - AcO - CO3 2- HCO3 - H2PO4 - HPO4 2- PO4 3- BrO3 - NO3 - NO2 - SO4 2- SO3 2- HSO3 - SCN - S 2- ,Cys,Hcy,GSH,Ala,Gly,H2O2,·OH, 1 O2、·O2 - t-BOOH and ONOO - In the presence of other analytes, the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent probe for hypochlorous acid is not affected by the presence of these other analytes. In other words, the presence of other analytes does not interfere with the recognition of hypochlorous acid by the colorimetric fluorescent probe for both naked-eye and real-time detection. Therefore, Figure 3 This demonstrates that the fluorescent probe has selective recognition properties for hypochlorous acid, and also shows that other analytes have no effect on the fluorescent probe's recognition of hypochlorous acid, indicating strong anti-interference capabilities.
[0084] To investigate the changes in the fluorescence emission spectrum of hypochlorous acid detected by the colorimetric fluorescent probe prepared in this embodiment under different pH values (2-12), the following experiments were conducted:
[0085] I. The naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid colorimetric fluorescent probe was dissolved in water-miscible methanol to prepare a probe solution A with a concentration of 1 mmol / L. –1 Probe stock solution A;
[0086] II. A naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid colorimetric fluorescent probe prepared in Example 1 was prepared into a fluorescent probe solution B with a concentration of 1.0 x 10 -5 mol / L using a mixed solution of methanol / PBS (the concentration of PBS buffer solution was 0.01 mol / L, and pH = 7.4) with a volume ratio of 7:3 as a solvent.
[0087] III. Hypochlorous acid was added to the fluorescent probe solution to obtain a test solution C. In the test solution C, the concentration of hypochlorous acid was 3.0 x 10 -4 mol / L, and the molar ratio of the fluorescent probe to the analyte was 1:30.
[0088] III. The pH value of the test solution C in step III was adjusted using a 5% NaOH solution and a 1% HCl solution to control the pH value to be 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0 and 12.0, respectively, to obtain 11 test solutions D.
[0089] IV. After the test solution D was placed at room temperature for 30 seconds, the emission intensity of the probe solution B in step II and the test solution D with different pH values in step III at 495 nm was measured respectively under the condition that the excitation wavelength was 330 nm and the excitation slit width was 3.0 nm, and was recorded as T B and T D1 ~T D11 , respectively. The results are shown in Figure 4 . As can be seen from Figure 4 , the fluorescence intensity of the naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid colorimetric fluorescent probe solution remains stable under different pH conditions, whether in acid, neutral or alkaline. After adding hypochlorous acid (3.0 x 10 -5 mol / L) to the fluorescent probe solution (1.0 x 10 -4 mol / L), the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent probe solution at 495 nm can be quenched to about 1 / 8 in the pH range of 2-12. That is, the change of pH value has little effect on the fluorescence intensity of the naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid colorimetric fluorescent probe solution and its recognition of hypochlorous acid, and the detection of hypochlorous acid can be realized in the pH range of 2-12.
[0090] The method for quantitatively detecting hypochlorous acid concentration using the colorimetric fluorescent probe for naked-eye and real-time detection prepared in Example 1 via fluorescence method is carried out according to the following steps:
[0091] 1. Dissolve the colorimetric fluorescent probe for naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid in water-miscible methanol to prepare a solution with a concentration of 1 mmol·L⁻¹. –1 Probe stock solution A;
[0092] 2. Using a methanol / PBS mixture with a volume ratio of 7:3 (PBS buffer solution concentration of 0.01 mol / L, pH = 7.4) as the solvent, prepare probe stock solution A with a concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. -5 Fluorescent probe solution B (mol / L);
[0093] III. According to the concentration of 1–30.0 μmol·L –1 Prepare hypochlorous acid standard solutions. Take 10 mL of hypochlorous acid standard solutions of different concentrations and mix them thoroughly with probe solution B obtained in step two to obtain test solution E.
[0094] IV. After the test solutions are placed at room temperature for 30 seconds, with an excitation wavelength of 330 nm and an excitation slit width of 3.0 nm, the emission intensity of probe solution B from step II and test solution E from step III at 495 nm is measured using 330 nm as the excitation wavelength, and recorded as T. B and T E1 ~T En Plot a graph with hypochlorous acid concentration as the x-axis and emission intensity at 495 nm as the y-axis, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown. From Figure 5 It can be seen that the fluorescence intensity at 495 nm gradually quenches with increasing hypochlorous acid concentration, reaching approximately 300 a.u. at 30.00 μmol / L. This indicates that the addition of trace amounts of hypochlorous acid to the probe solution results in significant fluorescence quenching. The fitted standard curve is: y = -0.4903x + 1.7062, with a standard deviation R0. 2 =0.9962. Based on the calculation, the lowest detectable concentration of hypochlorous acid is 57.66 nmol / L, indicating that the colorimetric fluorescent probe for detecting hypochlorous acid in naked eye and in real time prepared in this embodiment has a good linear relationship.
[0095] The effect of the colorimetric fluorescent probe for detecting hypochlorous acid by naked eye and in real time prepared in Example 1 on detecting changes in hypochlorous acid over time using fluorescence method was investigated. The experiment was conducted according to the following steps:
[0096] 1. Dissolve the colorimetric fluorescent probe for naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid in water-miscible methanol to prepare a solution with a concentration of 1 mmol·L⁻¹. –1 Probe stock solution A;
[0097] II. The probe stock solution A was prepared into a fluorescent probe solution with a concentration of 1.0 x 10 -5 mol / L by using a mixed solution of methanol / PBS (the concentration of PBS buffer solution is 0.01 mol / L, pH = 7.4) with a volume ratio of 7:3 as a solvent;
[0098] II. Hypochlorous acid was added to the fluorescent probe solution to obtain a test solution C; in the test solution C, the concentration of hypochlorous acid was 3.0 x 10 -4 mol / L, and the amount-of-substance ratio of the fluorescent probe to the analyte was 1:30;
[0099] IV. After the test solution was placed at room temperature for 30 seconds, the emission intensity of the probe solution B in step I and the test solution C in step II at 495 nm was measured respectively at an excitation wavelength of 330 nm and an excitation slit width of 3.0 nm, and was recorded as T B and T F1 ~ T Fn , respectively. The results are shown in Figure 6 From Figure 6 it can be seen that when hypochlorous acid exists, the emission intensity of the probe solution at 495 nm gradually decreases with the increase of the response time, that is, the fluorescence quenching phenomenon occurs. Moreover, when the response time reaches about 5 seconds, the fluorescence intensity is quenched to the lowest. The fluorescence intensity remains unchanged when the time continues to increase. This result shows that the colorimetric fluorescent probe for naked-eye and real-time detection of hypochlorous acid prepared in this embodiment 1 has a relatively short response time to hypochlorous acid, which can be completed within 5 seconds, and can realize the real-time monitoring of hypochlorous acid in an aqueous solution.
