Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chemical analysis and detection, and in particular to a lysosome-targeted biological thiol fluorescent probe of a pyrazoline derivative type, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Biothiols are essential reactive sulfur species in the human body and often play key roles in physiological and pathological processes, such as undergoing reversible oxidation, regulating oxidative stress, inactivating reactive free radicals, signal transduction, and chelating harmful metal ions. Reduced glutathione (GSH), the most potent non-protein biothiol in cells, maintains the balance between cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) on proteins. Abnormal GSH levels can cause hypertension, leukopenia, psoriasis, liver damage, and cancer. Cys, a precursor of reduced glutathione, plays an important role in many physiological processes, including detoxification, protein metabolism, and synthesis. Cys has been reported to be a risk factor for obesity, hair loss, slow growth in children, skin lesions, edema, lethargy, muscle loss, and liver damage. Furthermore, Hcy, a precursor of Cys, is associated with numerous diseases, including cardiovascular disease, birth defects, folate and cobalamin deficiencies, and cognitive impairment in the elderly. Therefore, selective detection of these three biothiols is of great significance in biological systems.
[0003] Eukaryotic cells contain numerous organelles, and most biological events occur within specific organelles, such as mitochondria, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, lipid droplets, and the Golgi apparatus. These well-organized organelles play key roles in fundamental metabolic processes, including cell growth, division, fusion, signal transduction, and apoptosis. Lysosomes have a slightly acidic pH (4.5–5.5) and contain over 60 hydrolases, which primarily break down and metabolize intracellular biomacromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides. Thiols are closely associated with intralysosomal proteolysis by reducing disulfide bonds. For example, GSH is a potent stimulator of albumin hydrolysis in renal lysosomes, and Cys can effectively stimulate albumin degradation in hepatic lysosomes. To better understand the role of lysosomal thiols, effective monitoring and detection of lysosomal thiols is crucial.
[0004] Because biothiols are closely associated with various diseases, much research has focused on developing diverse methods to monitor their presence and concentration in vitro and in vivo. Conventional methods for detecting biothiols include UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, capillary electrophoresis, electrochemical detection, high-performance liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Compared to these detection techniques, fluorescent probes offer several advantages, including low cost, rapid response, high sensitivity, relative ease of operation, and real-time, non-destructive imaging. Currently reported fluorescent probes for biothiols primarily rely on fluorophores such as BODIPY, rhodamine, tetraphenylethylene, coumarin, and naphthalimide, and achieve biothiols detection through sensing mechanisms such as Michael addition, cleavage reaction, cyclization with aldehydes, nucleophilic substitution, conjugate addition and cyclization, and metal complex substitution and coordination. Pyrazoline derivatives, as an important class of nitrogen-containing five-membered heterocyclic compounds, possess significant advantages, including prominent blue emission, high fluorescence quantum yield, narrow emission wavelength, and exceptional color purity.
[0005] Therefore, the development of a lysosome-targeted biothiol fluorescent probe based on pyrazoline derivatives for the detection of cysteine, homocysteine and glutathione has important application value. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lysosome-targeted biological thiol fluorescent probe of a pyrazoline derivative type in order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, as well as a preparation method and application thereof.
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0008] The present invention provides a lysosome-targeted biothiol fluorescent probe based on a pyrazoline derivative. The structural formula of the biothiol fluorescent probe is:
[0009]
[0010] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the lysosome-targeted biological thiol fluorescent probe based on pyrazoline derivatives, comprising the following steps:
[0011] Compound 1, 2-chloro-3,5-dinitropyridine, a base and an organic solvent are mixed and reacted to obtain a pyrazoline derivative-type lysosome-targeted biothiol fluorescent probe;
[0012] The structural formula of the compound 1 is:
[0013]
[0014] Preferably, the base is sodium acetate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, triethylamine or ammonium acetate.
[0015] Preferably, the organic solvent is methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran or N,N-dimethylformamide.
[0016] Preferably, the reaction temperature is 25 to 100° C., and the reaction time is 2 to 12 hours.
[0017] Preferably, the molar ratio of compound 1, 2-chloro-3,5-dinitropyridine and base is 1:1-2:0.6-1.2; the molar volume ratio of compound 1 and organic solvent is 1 mol:20-40 mL.
[0018] Preferably, the product obtained after the reaction is completed is sequentially extracted, washed, dried, concentrated under reduced pressure, and purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain a lysosome-targeted biological thiol fluorescent probe of a pyrazoline derivative type.
[0019] The present invention also provides the use of the pyrazoline derivative-based lysosome-targeted biothiol fluorescent probe in the preparation of a product for detecting biothiol.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention include:
[0021] 1) The present invention is based on the derivatization of pyrazoline as the structural parent nucleus, introducing a lysosome-targeted morpholine group to synthesize a novel lysosome-targeted blue fluorescent dye. At the same time, a recognition group with a specific reaction to biothiol is introduced, and a lysosome-targeted biothiol fluorescent probe of a pyrazoline derivative is constructed by means of a light-induced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. The fluorescent probe of the present invention has a strong electron-withdrawing property due to 2-chloro-3,5-dinitropyridine, which causes the light-induced electron transfer (PET) effect to be turned on. The fluorescent probe itself does not have fluorescent properties. When the probe is treated with biothiol, the biothiol has a strong nucleophilicity and can immediately undergo a nucleophilic substitution reaction with the probe molecule, resulting in the removal of the fluorescence quencher accompanied by the release of the blue fluorophore, thereby causing a change in the fluorescence signal. Strong fluorescence in the blue channel is observed at 470nm, achieving qualitative detection and quantitative analysis of biothiol.
[0022] 2) Through molecular design, the present invention has developed an organic small molecule structure that can specifically detect biothiols and target lysosomes. This allows for real-time monitoring of Cys, Hcy, and GSH concentration fluctuations within the lysosomes of living cells via fluorescence imaging, demonstrating advantages such as high selectivity, high sensitivity, and rapid response. The fluorescent probe of the present invention has a detection range of 1 to 200 μmol / L for Cys, Hcy, and GSH, with detection limits of 16.5 nmol / L (Cys), 16.8 nmol / L (Hcy), and 21.3 nmol / L (GSH), respectively. Its excellent selectivity and low cytotoxicity make it an ideal tool for the simultaneous detection of Cys, Hcy, and GSH.
[0023] 3) The fluorescent probe of the present invention has good cell membrane permeability and is capable of imaging endogenous and exogenous biothiols in living HeLa cells. The probe has been successfully applied to confocal imaging of biothiols in HeLa cell lysosomes. Therefore, the fluorescent probe of the present invention can be used to detect biothiols in aqueous solutions and complex biological systems, and is a promising molecular tool for studying the functions and synergistic effects of Cys, Hcy, and GSH in physiological processes.

[0069] Application Example 1 Spectral Determination of Biothiols by Fluorescent Probes
[0070] Fluorescence spectroscopy was used to compare the probe's reactivity with Cys, Hcy, and GSH, as well as its ability to quantitatively sense biothiols, to investigate the applicability of the fluorescent probe. The fluorescent probe prepared in Example 1 was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide to obtain a stock solution with a fluorescent probe concentration of 1 mmol / L. This stock solution was then added to a 10 mmol / L, pH 7.4 phosphate buffer solution (containing 30% ethanol by volume) to obtain a probe solution with a fluorescent probe concentration of 10 μmol / L. In a 3 mL quartz test tube, different concentrations of Cys, Hcy, and GSH (the concentrations of Cys, Hcy, and GSH were 0 μmol / L, 1 μmol / L, 2 μmol / L, 3 μmol / L, 4 μmol / L, 5 μmol / L, 6 μmol / L, 7 μmol / L, 8 μmol / L, 9 μmol / L, 10 μmol / L, 15 μmol / L, 20 μmol / L, 30 μmol / L, 40 μmol / L, 50 μmol / L, 60 μmol / L, 80 μmol / L, 100 μmol / L, 150 μmol / L, and 200 μmol / L, respectively) were placed in the above-mentioned probe solution, mixed evenly, and then tested.
[0071] The fluorescence spectra of the fluorescent probe of Example 1 after reacting with different concentrations of cysteine are shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the fluorescence spectra of the fluorescent probe of Example 1 after reacting with different concentrations of homocysteine are shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the fluorescence spectra of the fluorescent probe of Example 1 after reacting with different concentrations of glutathione are shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown by Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 It can be seen that when different concentrations of Cys, Hcy, and GSH are added to the probe solution, the fluorescence emission at 470 nm is gradually enhanced, and the fluorescence intensity increases by 16 times, 15 times, and 13 times, respectively. The fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent probe at 470 nm of Example 1 and the cysteine concentration are shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent probe of Example 1 at 470 nm and the homocysteine concentration are shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent probe of Example 1 at 470 nm and the glutathione concentration are shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown. Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 8 It can be seen that at 470 nm, the fluorescence intensity is linearly correlated with the concentration of Cys, Hcy, and GSH in the range of 1 to 10 μmol / L (Cys: y = 24.435x + 47.018, R 2 =0.9969;Hcy:y=24.735x+50.79,R 2=0.9936; GSH: y=18.506x+55.87, R 2 =0.9962), and the detection limits (LODs) of the fluorescent probe for Cys, Hcy, and GSH were calculated to be 16.5 nmol / L, 16.8 nmol / L, and 21.3 nmol / L, respectively, based on 3σ / k. Figures 3 to 8 It can be seen that pyrazoline derivatives-based lysosome-targeted biothiol fluorescent probes can be used as a promising molecular quantitative reagent to track Cys, Hcy and GSH.
[0072] Application Example 2: Selective and competitive testing of fluorescent probes for biothiols
[0073] Selectivity is one of the most important characteristics of fluorescent probes. In order to study the selectivity of fluorescent probes for Cys, Hcy, and GSH, the 10 μmol / L probe solution of Application Example 1 (the fluorescent probe of Example 1 was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide) was used to detect the selectivity of Ca2+, which was 200 μmol / L. 2+ Mg 2+ , Pb 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Hg 2+ 、Aspartic acid (Asp), glycine (Gly), threonine (Thr), serine (Ser), methionine (Met), histidine (His), phenylalanine (Phe), glutamine (Gln), glutamic acid (Glu), valine (Val), lysine (Lys), proline (Pro), arginine (Arg), NO3 - 、SO3 2- 、CO3 2- 、ClO4 - , GSH, Hcy, and Cys were used for fluorescence response, and the results were as follows: Figure 9 As shown. Figure 9 It can be seen that the fluorescent probe of Example 1 only showed obvious fluorescence signal enhancement at 470 nm for Cys, Hcy, and GSH, while other analytes (Ca 2+ Mg 2+ , Pb 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Hg 2+ ,Asp,Gly,Thr,Ser,Met,His,Phe,Gln,Glu,Val,Lys,Pro,Arg,NO3 - 、SO3 2- 、CO3 2- 、ClO4 - ) will not cause significant fluctuations in the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent probe. Figure 9The competitive experiments showed that the fluorescent probe can detect Cys, Hcy, and GSH even in the presence of coexisting species (analyte + GSH, analyte + Hcy, analyte + Cys, and the analyte is Ca 2+ Mg 2+ , Pb 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Hg 2+ ,Asp,Gly,Thr,Ser,Met,His,Phe,Gln,Glu,Val,Lys,Pro,Arg,NO3 - 、SO3 2- 、CO3 2- 、ClO4 - ), it also has excellent anti-interference ability, indicating that the fluorescent probe of the present invention has the ability to detect Cys, Hcy, and GSH in complex biological systems.
[0074] Application Example 3: Cellular Localization Test of Fluorescent Probes
[0075] In order to study the lysosomal targeting performance of the fluorescent probe, a commercial lysosomal dye (LysoTracker Red, 1 μmol / L) was used in combination with the fluorescent probe of Example 1 (10 μmol / L) at a density of 1×10 5 Colocalization test was performed in HeLa cells, as shown in Figure 10 As shown. Figure 10 It can be seen that the blue channel of the fluorescent probe and the fluorescence image of Lyso Tracker Red overlap well, and the colocalization coefficient is calculated to be 0.95. These results show that the fluorescent probe of the present invention can be well localized in the lysosomes of living cells.
[0076] Application Example 4: Cellular Imaging Test of Exogenous and Endogenous Biothiols Using Fluorescent Probes
[0077] The density is 1×10 5 After the HeLa cells were incubated with the 10 μmol / L probe solution of Application Example 1, the bright field image, 405 nm excitation fluorescence image (blue channel) and overlay image were as follows: Figure 11 As shown in A1, A2 and A3 in Figures A1 to A3, fluorescent signals are emitted in the blue channel, indicating that the fluorescent probe prepared in Example 1 can enter HeLa cells and interact with endogenous biological thiols. After incubating HeLa cells with 1 mmol / L thiol blocker N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) for 30 minutes, they were co-incubated with 10 μmol / L probe solution of Application Example 1. The bright field image, 405 nm excitation fluorescence image (blue channel) and superimposed image are shown as follows: Figure 11As shown in Figure B1, Figure B2 and Figure B3. As can be seen from Figures B1 to B3, no fluorescence signal was found in the blue channel. After HeLa cells were pretreated with 1mmol / L thiol blocker NEM, cysteine, homocysteine and glutathione were added respectively, and then the probe solution of Example 1 was added and incubated continuously. The bright field image, 405nm excitation fluorescence image (blue channel) and superimposed image of HeLa cells incubated with 100μmol / L cysteine and the fluorescent probe of Example 1 are shown as follows: Figure 11 As shown in C1, C2 and C3 in the figure; the bright field image, 405nm excited fluorescence image (blue channel) and superimposed image of HeLa cells incubated with 100μmol / L homocysteine and the fluorescent probe of Example 1 are shown respectively. Figure 11 As shown in D1, D2 and D3 in the figure; the bright field image, 405nm excited fluorescence image (blue channel) and superimposed image of HeLa cells incubated with 100μmol / L glutathione and the fluorescent probe of Example 1 are shown in FIG. Figure 11 As shown in E1, E2 and E3. Figure 11 As shown in Figures C1-C3, D1-D3, and E1-E3, bright fluorescence signals were observed in the blue channel of HeLa cells incubated with cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione.
