Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of fine organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a tanshinone benzimidazole-type fluorescent probe for detecting hydrazine and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hydrazine (N2H4) is not only a well-known corrosion inhibitor but also a rocket propellant due to its high combustion enthalpy. However, due to its widespread use in manufacturing, transportation, handling, and use, hydrazine can cause serious environmental pollution, posing a significant threat to public health and the ecological environment. Hydrazine has been designated as a possible carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and long-term exposure to high concentrations of hydrazine and its substituted derivatives can cause irreparable damage to the central nervous system. Given this, there is an urgent need to establish simple and sensitive analytical methods for identifying hydrazine in the environment.

[0003] Therefore, developing a suitable method for the specific qualitative and quantitative detection of hydrazine is of particular importance. Traditionally, electrochemical analysis, colorimetry, spectrophotometry, titration, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have been used for the detection of hydrazine. Unfortunately, most of these methods are costly, time-consuming, and difficult to operate, making them inconvenient for real-time and in situ monitoring. In contrast, fluorescent probe detection methods offer the advantages of ultrasensitivity, good selectivity, and simplicity of operation, making them suitable for monitoring hydrazine both in vitro and in vivo.

[0004] Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) is one of the most important herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), developed into over thirty pharmaceutical formulations. Tanshinone IIA is a major component of Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza). Tanshinone IIA is a lipophilic component that accounts for at least 9.8% of all components in Danshen and regulates a range of physiological processes, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.

[0005] Currently, many natural organic compounds have been modified into fluorescent probes to detect different compounds or ions, such as coumarin fluorescent probes, flavonoid fluorescent probes, and cellulose fluorescent probes. However, no research has been published on the use of tanshinone benzimidazole-type fluorescent probes to detect hydrazine. Summary of the Invention

[0034] Example 1

[0035] The synthesis method of tanshinone benzimidazole compounds comprises the following steps:

[0036]

[0037] The specific steps are as follows:

[0038] (1) Preparation of 4-(1,6,6-trimethyl-7,8,9,12-tetrahydro-6H-furo[2′,3′:1,2]phenanthro[3,4-d]imidazol-11-yl)benzaldehyde:

[0039] Accurately weigh 210 mg of terephthalaldehyde and 346 mg of ammonium acetate, add them to a three-necked flask, then add 4 ml of acetic acid and stir to dissolve. Accurately weigh 147 mg of tanshinone IIA, add 4 mL of acetic acid to dissolve it, and then add it to a dropping funnel. Use a dropping funnel to slowly add the acetic acid solution of tanshinone IIA dropwise into the three-necked flask. React at 125°C for 50 minutes, add saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution to neutralize it, precipitate the solid, filter it with suction, and purify it through a column (petroleum ether: ethyl acetate = 300:1 to 5:1) to obtain a yellow solid compound 4-(1,6,6-trimethyl-7,8,9,12-tetrahydro-6H-furo[2′,3′:1,2]phenanthro[3,4-d]imidazol-11-yl)benzaldehyde with a yield of 75%.

[0041] 408 mg of 4-(1,6,6-trimethyl-7,8,9,12-tetrahydro-6H-furo[2′,3′:1,2]phenanthro[3,4-d]imidazol-11-yl)benzaldehyde obtained in the previous step was accurately weighed and dissolved in 20 mL of ethanol. Subsequently, 113 mg of ethyl cyanoacetate was added, and 5 drops of piperidine were added. The mixture was stirred and refluxed at 80°C for 12 h. The crude product was cooled to room temperature, dried under vacuum, and purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate = 50:1 to 5:1) to obtain pure brown-red ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-(4-(1,6,6-trimethyl-7,8,9,12-tetrahydro-6H-furo[2′,3′:1,2]phenanthro[3,4-d]imidazol-11-yl)phenyl)acrylate in a yield of 88%.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Accurately weigh 5 mg of fluorescent probe TPE and dissolve it in tetrahydrofuran to prepare 1×10 -3 M solution, take 100 μM stock solution and dilute it with tetrahydrofuran aqueous solution (tetrahydrofuran: water = 4:6) to 10 mL with a concentration of 1×10 -5 M solution, and then add equimolar amounts of N2H4, Ca 2+ 、Al 3+ 、Zn 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Hg 2+ 、Fe 2+ 、Fe 3+ 、NO 2- 、CO3 2- 、CH3COO - 、HSO3 - 、H2PO4 - 、Cl - , H2O2, Cys, GSH, glycine, urea, Ala, aniline, diethylamine, cyclohexylamine, phenylhydrazine, pentafluorophenylhydrazine and other analytes, and record the fluorescence spectrum of the solution.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, where 1 represents Ca2+, 2 represents Al3+, 3 represents Zn2+, 4 represents Cu2+, 5 represents Hg2+, 6 represents Fe2+, 7 represents Fe3+, 8 represents NO2-, 9 represents CO32-, 10 represents CH3COO-, 11 represents HSO3-, 12 represents H2PO4-, 13 represents Cl-, 14 represents H2O2, 15 represents Cys, 16 represents GSH, 17 represents glycine, 18 represents urea, 19 represents Ala, 20 represents aniline, 21 represents diethylamine, 22 represents cyclohexylamine, 23 represents phenylhydrazine, and 24 represents pentafluorophenylhydrazine;

[0047] It can be seen that after the addition of hydrazine, the solution shows a very obvious change from orange-red fluorescence to blue fluorescence. When other analytes are added, the fluorescence intensity and wavelength of the fluorescent probe TPE do not change much, indicating that this compound has excellent selectivity as a fluorescence ratio probe for detecting hydrazine.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] The fluorescent probe TPE was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran aqueous solution (tetrahydrofuran: water = 4:6) (1×10 -5 M), add (0~80)×10 -5 M of hydrazine, and measured the fluorescence emission spectra of ethyl (E)-2-cyano-3-(4-(1,6,6-trimethyl-7,8,9,12-tetrahydro-6H-furo[2',3':1,2]phenanthro[3,4-d]imidazol-11-yl)phenyl)acrylate with different concentrations of hydrazine added;

[0050] like Figure 2 The fluorescence emission spectra of the compound in the presence of varying concentrations of hydrazine are shown in Figure 2. The compound's fluorescence gradually shifts to a blue color with the addition of hydrazine, indicating that the compound reacts with hydrazine. The intensity ratio (F469 nm / F630 nm) of the TPE probe exhibits a good linear relationship with hydrazine concentration from 0 to 80 μM (y = 0.059x + 0.133, R² = 0.99597). The limit of detection (LOD) calculated using the 3δ / K method is as low as 58 nM.

[0051] Example 4

[0052] Accurately weigh 5 mg of fluorescent probe TPE and dissolve it in tetrahydrofuran to prepare 1×10 -3 M solution, take 100 μM stock solution and dilute it with tetrahydrofuran aqueous solution (tetrahydrofuran: water = 4:6) to 10 mL with a concentration of 1×10 -5 M solution, add 80 μL of hydrazine (1×10 -2 M), observed under 365nm ultraviolet light, as Figure 3 As shown, the fluorescence of the solution to which hydrazine was added changed from orange-red to blue, indicating that the compound could react with hydrazine. Under a 365 nm ultraviolet lamp, the blue fluorescence was enhanced, and hydrazine was detected.

[0053] However, the addition of equimolar amounts of Ca2+, Al3+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, NO2-, CO32-, CH3COO-, HSO3-, H2PO4-, Cl-, H2O2, Cys, GSH, glycine, urea, Ala, aniline, diethylamine, cyclohexylamine, phenylhydrazine, and pentafluorophenylhydrazine did not result in a change in the compound's fluorescence, indicating that the compound can be used as an effective fluorescent probe for the identification of hydrazine.

[0054] Example 5

[0055] In the fluorescent probe TPE (1×10 -5 M) and hydrazine (80×10 -5 Interference experiments were conducted by adding equimolar amounts of other ions, including Ca2+, Al3+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, NO2-, CO32-, CH3COO-, HSO3-, H2PO4-, Cl-, H2O2, Cys, GSH, glycine, urea, Ala, aniline, diethylamine, cyclohexylamine, phenylhydrazine, and pentafluorophenylhydrazine, to the fluorescence system (M). Changes in the fluorescence intensity ratio (F469nm / F630nm) were recorded using a fluorescence spectrophotometer.

[0056] like Figure 4As shown, 1 represents Ca2+, 2 represents Al3+, 3 represents Zn2+, 4 represents Cu2+, 5 represents Hg2+, 6 represents Fe2+, 7 represents Fe3+, 8 represents NO2-, 9 represents CO32-, 10 represents CH3COO-, 11 represents HSO3-, 12 represents H2PO4-, 13 represents Cl-, 14 represents H2O2, 15 represents Cys, 16 represents GSH, 17 represents glycine, 18 represents urea, 19 represents Ala, 20 represents aniline, 21 represents diethylamine, 22 represents cyclohexylamine, 23 represents phenylhydrazine, and 24 represents pentafluorophenylhydrazine. After adding other ions, the fluorescence intensity ratio of the above fluorescence system does not change much and remains in a blue-shifted state. Therefore, this compound has good anti-interference ability when detecting hydrazine. This shows that this compound is a highly specific fluorescent probe for detecting hydrazine.

[0063]

[0064] As can be seen from Table 1, the reaction time of the conditions of Experiment 3 is the fastest and the yield is the highest compared with other reaction conditions, so this condition is selected for the reaction.

[0065] Example 7

[0066] Hydrazine is a water-soluble suspected carcinogen that poses a threat to human health. Therefore, the fluorescent probe TPE was used to detect hydrazine in environmental water samples. Environmental water samples (Xuanwu Lake, Yangtze River, and tap water) were pretreated to prepare sample solutions. Then, the fluorescent probe TPE (10 μM) and varying concentrations of hydrazine (0 to 40 μM) were added, and the fluorescence intensity ratio (F469 nm / F630 nm) of each sample was recorded.

[0067] See Table 2.
