TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical imaging, in particular to a coumarin-based biothiol ratiometric fluorescent probe targeting mitochondria and a preparation and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Intracellular biothiols, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), play a crucial role in many physiological and pathological processes. Abnormal levels of Cys / Hcy / GSH have been shown to be closely related to a variety of diseases. For example, growth retardation, skin damage, liver damage, edema, lethargy and hair discoloration are associated with lower than normal levels of Cys. Diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease are associated with higher than normal levels of Hcy. Neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and AIDS are associated with abnormal levels of GSH. Therefore, given the important physiological and physiological functions of these biothiols, it is of great significance to develop effective detection methods.
[0003] In recent years, fluorescent probes have attracted much attention due to their high sensitivity, good selectivity, simple operation, low cost, non-destructive detection, and fast analysis speed. According to the relevant literature reports, chromene derivatives are good detection sites for biothiols, but the reported fluorescent probes still have some limitations, such as complex synthesis route, long response time, single-wavelength detection, and no targeting localization function. Therefore, it is of great significance and value to develop new biothiol fluorescent probes with chromene derivatives as recognition groups. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe for recognizing biothiols and targeting mitochondria. The fluorescent probe has a short response time, can realize quantitative detection of biothiols, has high selectivity and sensitivity, and can also target mitochondria to realize imaging analysis at a specific location.

[0049] Example 2: UV and fluorescence spectra of the fluorescent probe of the present application before and after reaction with biological thiols.
[0050] After 50 μM of Cys, GSH or Hcy was added to the solution of the fluorescent probe of the present application (10 μM, PBS:DMSO = 1:1) for 15 min, the UV and fluorescence spectrum changes were measured. The results are shown in Figure 3 .
[0051] AsFigure 3 As shown in (a) of FIG. 14, the maximum ultraviolet absorption peak of the fluorescent probe solution of the present application is located at 490 nm before and 426 nm after the addition of Cys, GSH or Hcy. From (b) of FIG. 14, it can be found that the change of the fluorescence emission spectrum (458 nm excitation, slit: 2.5 nm / 2.5 nm) is from 567 nm to 498 nm. It is illustrated that the fluorescent probe of the present application has reacted with biological thiols (Cys, GSH and Hcy), and can be used for tracing biological thiols. Figure 3
[0052] Example 3: Ultraviolet and fluorescence spectra of the fluorescent probe of the present application for detecting Cys over time.
[0053] After 50 μM of Cys is added to the fluorescent probe solution (10 μM, PBS:DMSO = 1:1) of the present application, the ultraviolet and fluorescence spectra over time are determined. The results are shown in FIG. 15. Figure 4 Figure 5
[0054] As shown in (a) of FIG. 16, after 50 μM of Cys is added to the fluorescent probe solution of the present application, the absorbance at 490 nm rapidly decreases, the absorbance at 426 nm gradually increases, and the color of the solution can be visually observed to change from orange to light yellow. Meanwhile, the fluorescence spectrum also obviously changes, as shown in (b) of FIG. 16. Figure 5 Figure 5 As shown in (a) of FIG. 17, after 50 μM of Cys is added to the fluorescent probe solution of the present application, the fluorescence intensity at 567 nm gradually decreases, and the fluorescence intensity at 498 nm rapidly increases. The fluorescence color of the solution can be observed to change from orange to blue under a 365 nm ultraviolet lamp. From (b) of FIG. 17, it can be found that within 15 min, the fluorescence ratio (F 498nm / F 567nm ) obviously changes and reaches a maximum value. It is illustrated that the fluorescent probe of the present application can realize the detection of biological thiols through the fluorescence ratio (F 498nm / F 567nm ), and has a relatively fast response speed.
[0055] Example 4: Change diagram of the fluorescence ratio (F 498nm / F 567nm ) of the fluorescent probe of the present application for different Cys concentration titrations.
[0056] After different concentrations of Cys are added to the fluorescent probe solution (10 μM, PBS:DMSO = 1:1) of the present application, the fluorescence ratio (F 498nm / F 567nm ) over time is determined. The results are shown in FIG. 18. Figure 6
[0057] As shown in (a) of FIG. 19, after different concentrations of Cys are added to the fluorescent probe solution of the present application, the fluorescence ratio (F 498nm / F 567nm ) over time is determined. The results are shown in (b) of FIG. 19.As shown in the figure, the fluorescence ratio (F 498nm / F 567nm ) changes (458nm excitation, gap: 2.5nm / 2.5nm). Figure 6 (a) and Figure 6 As shown in (b), the fluorescence ratio (F 498nm / F 567nm ) increased more and faster, and reached the maximum when the Cys concentration was 50 μM; Figure 6 In (c), it can be found that the fluorescence ratio (F 498nm / F 567nm ) has good linearity with Cys in the low concentration range, indicating that the fluorescent probe has high sensitivity.
[0058] Example 5: Fluorescence ratio (F) of the fluorescent probe of the present invention after adding biothiol and different amino acids 498nm / F 567nm )Change graph.
[0059] 50 μM of cysteine (Cys), glutathione (GSH), homocysteine (Hcy), alanine (Ala), arginine (Arg), aspartic acid (Asp), glutamine (Gln), glutamic acid (Glu), histidine (His), leucine (Leu), lysine (Lys), proline (Pro) and serine (Ser) were added to the fluorescent probe solution of the present invention (10 μM, PBS:DMSO=1:1), and the fluorescence spectrum was measured after 15 minutes. The results are shown in Figure 7 .
[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, only biothiols (Cys, GSH and Hcy) cause the fluorescence ratio (F 498nm / F 567nm ) significantly increased, while other amino acids remained almost unchanged. This indicates that the fluorescent probe of the present invention has good selectivity for biothiols (Cys, GSH, and Hcy) and can specifically recognize biothiols to a certain extent, providing a good foundation for biological imaging.
[0061] Example 6: Imaging of biothiols in living cells using the fluorescent probe of the present invention.
[0062] HeLa cells were cultured in a low-glucose culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, and cultured in a saturated humidity incubator with 5% CO2 at 37°C. The culture medium was replaced every 2-3 days, and the cells were subcultured and moved into confocal dishes for culture. Two confocal dishes were taken out, and 5uM of the fluorescent probe of the present invention was directly added to one of the confocal dishes and incubated for 30 minutes before imaging; the other confocal dish was first incubated with 1mM thiol scavenger N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) for 30 minutes, washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and then 5uM of the fluorescent probe of the present invention was added and incubated for 30 minutes before imaging. The excitation wavelength was 458nm, the green window fluorescence collection wavelength was 475-525nm, and the red window fluorescence collection wavelength was 550-600nm. See the results. Figure 8 .
[0063] from Figure 8 It was found that in cells treated only with the fluorescent probe of the present invention, the green window fluorescence was stronger than the red window fluorescence, and the fluorescence intensity ratio (green window / red window) was larger. In contrast, in cells treated first with NEM and then with the fluorescent probe of the present invention, the green window fluorescence was weaker than the red window fluorescence, and the fluorescence intensity ratio (green window / red window) was smaller. This demonstrates that the fluorescent probe can ratiometrically detect changes in intracellular biothiol concentrations.
[0064] Example 7: Imaging of the fluorescent probe of the present invention targeted to mitochondria.
[0065] HeLa cells were cultured in a low-glucose culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, and cultured in a saturated humidity incubator with 5% CO2 at 37°C. The culture medium was replaced every 2-3 days, and the cells were subcultured and moved into a confocal dish for culture. Take 1 confocal dish, replace the culture medium with 1 mL of fresh culture medium, first incubate with 1 mM thiol scavenger N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) for 30 minutes, wash with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and then add 5 uM of the fluorescent probe of the present invention and 500 nM of the commercial mitochondrial targeted fluorescent probe Mito-Tracker Deep Red FM and incubate for 30 minutes before imaging. The green window excitation wavelength of the fluorescent probe of the present invention is 458 nm, and the fluorescence collection wavelength is 550-600 nm; the red window excitation wavelength of Mito-Tracker Deep Red FM is 633 nm, and the fluorescence collection wavelength is 660-710 nm. See the results. Figure 9 .
[0066] from Figure 9 It can be found that the fluorescent probe of the present invention has good overlap with the commercial mitochondrial-targeted fluorescent probe, indicating that the fluorescent probe of the present invention is localized in the cell mitochondria.
