Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and relates to a near-infrared fluorescent probe based on naphthalimide and its application. Background Art

[0002] Fluorescent dyes are widely used in photocatalysis, optoelectronic materials, analytical testing, clinical diagnosis, etc. Small molecule dyes are indispensable in the field of chemical biology and are widely used in molecular tags, enzyme substrate labeling, cell staining, etc. Near-infrared fluorescent dyes generally refer to substances that have an absorption band in the near-infrared region (650-900nm) and can emit fluorescence. Compared with fluorescent dyes in the visible light region, near-infrared fluorescent dyes have the advantages of less biological molecule autofluorescence interference, deeper tissue penetration ability, weaker tissue autofluorescence interference, and lower signal-to-noise ratio in terms of developer, which is more conducive to in vivo application.

[0003] Traditional fluorescent dyes mainly include cyanine dyes, square acid dyes, BODIPY and the like. However, most traditional near-infrared fluorescent dyes generally have some defects, such as poor photostability, poor water solubility, and difficulty in optical modification. The classic dye naphthylimide has the advantages of high fluorescence quantum yield, easy modification, large Stokes shift, and good photostability, but its absorption wavelength is in the visible light region, making it difficult to carry out biological applications in deep tissues. CN114105982A discloses a series of near-infrared cyanine fluorescent dyes based on naphthylimide, which are mainly used in the fields of fluorescence imaging, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, etc., but are less used in near-infrared fluorescent probes, and have room for further development.

[0155] (2) reacting compound ML-1 with hydrazine hydrate to prepare compound ML-2;

[0156] (3) reacting compound ML-2 with 3-methyl-2-butanone to undergo Fischer-Indole reaction to prepare compound ML-3;

[0159] (6) Compound ML-4 and compound ML-10 are reacted to prepare an intermediate.

[0160] In step (1), weigh 4-bromo-1,8-naphthalene anhydride and place it in a three-necked flask, and add an appropriate amount of ethanol to dissolve it. Measure an appropriate amount of R1-NH2 and slowly add it to the three-necked flask, and the color of the solution turns brown. Place the flask at 60-90oC (such as about 80°C), reflux with a condenser filled with water, and react for 6-18 hours (such as 10-12 hours). Cool the reaction to room temperature, and a large amount of yellow solid will precipitate in the flask.

Place the reaction device under inert gas protection, heat and reflux at 90-150°C (such as about 120°C) for 6-18 hours (such as 12 hours) to stop the reaction. After removing the solvent under reduced pressure, an orange crude product is obtained. Further purification is performed by column chromatography to obtain compound ML-3.

(such as about 120° C.) and heated to reflux for 12-20 hours (such as 18 hours). After the reaction is completed, column chromatography is performed to purify and obtain a white solid ML-4.

[0164] In step (5), POCl3 and anhydrous DMF are slowly added to a dry two-necked flask under ice bath conditions, and then an appropriate amount of anhydrous DCM and anhydrous DMF are drawn into the flask with a syringe. An appropriate amount of cyclohexanone is drawn into the flask with a syringe. The reaction is heated to reflux at 20-60°C (such as about 45°C) under inert gas protection for 2-6 hours (such as about 4 hours). After the reaction is completed, it is cooled to room temperature, the reaction solution is poured into crushed ice, and placed in a refrigerator at 4°C overnight. After a large amount of yellow solid is precipitated, it is filtered with a Buchner funnel, and the filter cake is rinsed with ice water to obtain compound ML-10.

[0165] In step (6), ML-4 and ML-10 are weighed and placed in a single-necked flask, anhydrous sodium acetate is added, and dissolved with a mixed solvent (such as acetic acid / acetic anhydride). The reaction is heated to reflux at 90-150° C. (such as about 120° C.) under the protection of an inert gas, and the reaction is terminated after 3-8 hours (such as about 5 hours), cooled to room temperature, and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure to obtain a brown crude product. The product is further separated and purified by column chromatography to obtain an intermediate.

[0166] In the above formulae, ML-1, ML-2, ML-3, ML-4 and intermediates, R1 to R9, m and n are as described in any embodiment of the present invention.

Use MAHMA NONOate as the NO donor and phosphate buffer (PBS) as the solvent to prepare a NO donor mother solution (1 mM), and use phosphate buffer (PBS) and analytically pure ethanol (EtOH) at a volume ratio of 5:1 to prepare a test blank solvent.

[0216] (1) Determination of fluorescence emission spectra of compound A reacting with NO solutions of different concentrations

[0217] Take 20 μL dye mother solution (1 mM) and different volumes of NO donor mother solution (1 mM), add them to a quartz cuvette with four sides transparent to light, dilute with blank solvent to 2 mL, so that the probe concentration is 10 μM, and the NO concentration is 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, 300 μM.

Set up 6 concentration gradients of compound A: 0, 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, and 50 μM, with 5 replicate wells for each gradient, and incubate in an incubator for 24 hours. After 24 hours, prepare a 10 mM dye stock solution. First, take an appropriate amount of the stock solution and dilute it with complete culture medium to make 2 mL of a 50 μM solution. Then perform gradient dilutions to prepare 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125, and 0 μM solutions. Take the 96-well plate out of the incubator, remove the old culture medium with a pipette, add the culture medium containing the dye to each well, and incubate in the incubator for 24 hours. After the incubation, replace the medium with a culture medium containing 10% CCK-8, and set up a separate cell-free group containing CCK-8 culture medium. Place the well plate in the incubator and incubate for 30 minutes, then take it out, detect the OD value at 450 nm with an enzyme reader, and calculate the cell survival rate.
