Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the following original application: Application date of the original application: December 26, 2023; Application number of the original application: 2023118072978; Title of the original application: A dye with upconversion properties, its synthesis method and application. Technical Field
[0002] This invention belongs to the field of fine chemical technology and relates to the synthesis of a dye with upconversion properties and its application in bioimaging, gene sequencing and photodynamic therapy. Background Technology
[0003] Fluorescent dyes can absorb light of specific wavelengths and emit bright fluorescence, offering advantages such as high efficiency, convenience, tunable wavelength, and visualization. Therefore, fluorescence imaging technology based on fluorescent dyes has developed rapidly in recent decades. However, with the continuous upgrading of lasers and recognition devices used in imaging, higher-performance fluorescent dyes are needed to suit complex application scenarios in fields such as biomolecular recognition, gene sequencing, and super-resolution imaging.
[0004] Currently, commonly used fluorescent dyes face challenges including short wavelengths and poor photostability. While fluorescent dyes with short-wavelength excitation and emission typically offer relatively high imaging resolution, short-wavelength light has poor tissue penetration and is highly susceptible to interference from the autofluorescence of biomolecules, resulting in poor imaging performance. Simultaneously, short-wavelength lasers are usually high-energy, leading to photobleaching of the dye after multiple exposures, thus losing imaging and recognition capabilities. Therefore, the development of novel fluorescent dyes is necessary to overcome these problems. Upconversion is an unconventional luminescence phenomenon, referring to the emission of short-wavelength fluorescence from compounds excited by long-wavelength light. If applied to fluorescence imaging, low-energy but high-tissue-penetration long-wavelength lasers can excite dyes to obtain short-wavelength fluorescence, achieving high-resolution imaging and effectively avoiding photobleaching. However, currently, materials with upconversion properties are mainly inorganic noble metals, such as lanthanides, which are difficult to modify specifically, hindering practical applications. Therefore, the development of fluorescent dyes with upconversion properties is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problem of short-wavelength excitation in current fluorescent dyes, this invention provides a dye with upconversion properties, its synthesis method, and its applications. The dye of this invention is synthesized from indole with specific substituents, a quaternary ammonium salt, and a condensing agent. This dye possesses excellent optical properties and can be applied in fields such as fluorescent labeling, bioimaging, gene sequencing, biomolecule recognition, and photodynamic therapy. It exhibits significant advantages, particularly in bioimaging, long-wavelength excited gene sequencing, and photodynamic therapy.

After reacting at 50-120℃, the solvent is removed, and then added to an organic acid solvent.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The dyes described in this application generally possess upconversion properties due to heat absorption, enabling them to emit fluorescence (short wavelength) under irradiation with 750-900 nm light (long wavelength) that the compound does not absorb. This process relies on the driving energy provided by ambient temperature, avoiding the photobleaching problem caused by short-wavelength excitation. Furthermore, these dyes exhibit high extinction coefficients and fluorescence quantum yields in aqueous and polar protic solvents, making them highly advantageous for fluorescence imaging, gene sequencing, and the recognition of biomolecules. This upconversion mechanism also allows for deeper tissue penetration, which is beneficial for in-situ imaging of deep lesions in living organisms and for photodynamic therapy.

[0125] Manufacturing comparative compound 3
[0126] Quaternary ammonium salt 7.2 (0.2 g, 2 eq) and condensing agent 18 (0.03 g, 1 eq) were dissolved in 10 mL of ethanol. 0.1 g of sodium acetate was added to catalyze the reaction. The reaction was stopped after stirring at 40 °C for 12 h. After the reaction solution cooled to room temperature, the solvent was concentrated. The crude product obtained after concentration was purified by liquid chromatography to obtain blue solid comparative compound 3 (0.05 g, Y=30%). 1 HNMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ = 8.66 (dd, 1H), 8.05 (dd, 1H), 7.87 (dd, 1H), 7.59(dd, 1H), 7.38 (m, 1H), 7.36 (m, 1H), 7.13 (dd, 1H), 6.67 (m, 1H), 6.63 (dd,1H), 4.60 (t, 2H), 3.95 (t, 2H), 2.16 (qt, 2H), 1.66 (qt, 2H), 1.29 (s, 4H),1.12 (t, 3H), 0.94 (t, 3H). 13 C NMR (125 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ = 182.63, 169.89,159.59, 149.71, 146.17, 141.35, 138.96, 134.13, 133.89, 131.12, 124.01,121.57, 116.07, 113.25, 109.31, 59.06, 52.86, 51.86, 51.60, 26.01, 25.47,23.93, 21.82, 13.71, 10.93 ppm. Example 19: Determination of UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra of compounds 5-6, 8-9, and comparative compounds 1-2 Accurately weigh the vacuum-dried dye using a 0.01 g / L balance to prepare a 2 mmol / L DMSO dye stock solution. Store in brown sample vials at 4°C for later use. For testing UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra, 3 μL of the dye stock solution was measured using a micropipette and dissolved in a quartz cuvette containing 3 mL of dichloromethane solvent. The mixture was thoroughly mixed to obtain a dye concentration of 2.0 μmol / L, which was then used for testing the absorption and fluorescence emission spectra. All tests were performed at 25°C.
[0127] Since the structures of compounds 5, 6, 8, and 9 are similar to those of comparative compounds 1-2, these compounds were primarily selected for comparative studies. Figure 1 As shown, the maximum absorption wavelengths of nitrogen-containing cyanine dyes with upconversion properties (compounds 5, 6, 8, and 9) are significantly longer than those of ordinary cyanine dyes (comparative compounds 1-2). Meanwhile, as... Figure 2 As shown, the maximum emission wavelengths of nitrogen-containing cyanine dyes with upconversion properties are all above 700 nm, longer than those of ordinary cyanine dyes. This property allows for compatibility with long-wavelength lasers and detectors during imaging and photodynamic therapy, which helps reduce the photobleaching rate of the dye and increase the depth of tissue penetration.
[0128] Example 20: Upconversion fluorescence spectroscopy of compounds 1-15 and comparative examples 1-2 First, the tail emission wavelength of the dye was determined by fluorescence spectroscopy. Then, using this wavelength as the excitation wavelength, the fluorescence spectrum of the dye was measured. All compounds involved in the examples were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1 and... Figure 3 As shown in AO, compounds 1-15 of general formula I all exhibit upconversion fluorescence, while the molecular structures of comparative compounds 1-3, although very similar to those of general formula I, did not show upconversion fluorescence in fluorescence spectroscopy. In fact, the experimental design phase of this application predicted that the molecular structures of comparative compounds 1-3, being similar to those of general formula I, might exhibit similar fluorescence properties. However, the experimental results completely overturned expectations; these comparative compounds did not exhibit upconversion fluorescence. This unexpected discovery fully demonstrates the unpredictability that frequently exists in experimental science.
[0129] Table 1:
[0130] (Note: "+" indicates that it has upconversion performance; "-" indicates that it does not have upconversion performance) Example 21: Upconversion photodynamic effect test of compound 1, compound 5, compound 6 and control compound 1 Since the substitution of heavy atoms can enhance the photodynamic effect of dyes, compound 1 with heavy atom substitution and control compound 1 were selected in the examples for the study of upconversion photodynamic effects. 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) was used as a singlet oxygen scavenger, and the singlet oxygen generation efficiency of the compounds was detected by spectrophotometry.
[0131] Procedure: Add 3 mL of dichloromethane to a 1×1 cm quartz cuvette, and then add 3 μL of the dye stock solution to bring the dye concentration to 2 μM. After mixing thoroughly, irradiate the cuvette with a 760 nm laser source, maintaining a uniform light power of 20 mW / cm². 2 The absorbance of DPBF at 415 nm was measured at different time points. The rate of decrease in DPBF absorbance was used to determine the singlet oxygen production capacity, thereby demonstrating the photodynamic effect.
[0132] like Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, compounds 1, 5, and 6 can generate singlet oxygen under 760 nm light irradiation. This leads to a decrease in DPBF absorbance. In contrast, compound 1 does not exhibit upconversion photodynamic effects. Therefore, photosensitizers designed with dyes according to general formula I can generate a large amount of singlet oxygen under long-wavelength light excitation, thereby achieving good photodynamic effects and showing potential for treating deep lesions.
[0133] Example 22: Fluorescent labeling of lysine with activated compounds A 10 mmol / L L-lysine stock solution was prepared using PBS (pH = 7.4) in a 5 mL brown sample vial. 50 μL of the 10 mmol / L L-lysine stock solution was added to a 0.5 mL centrifuge tube, followed by 100 mL of a 5 mmol / L stock solution of the activated compound. After reacting in a benchtop constant temperature shaker for 6 h, methanol and ultrapure water were used as the mobile phase, and a C18-packed reverse-phase column was used as the separation column. The activated compound 1 and the L-lysine-labeled compound 1 were characterized by liquid chromatography at a wavelength of 254 nm.
[0134] Taking compound 2 as an example, such as Figure 5As shown, the retention time of activated compound 2 was 11.4 min. However, after co-incubation with L-lysine, liquid chromatography characterization under the same conditions revealed that the 11.4 min peak almost disappeared, and a new absorption peak with a retention time of 14.3 min appeared, with the new peak area accounting for 91%. This indicates that activated compound 1 can react well with L-lysine, successfully linking L-lysine to the dye compound 2. The labeling of the remaining compounds is shown in Table 2. The conventional dye control compound 2 was also successfully labeled, as was the structurally modified aza dye. This demonstrates that structural changes do not affect the ability of activated dyes to label biomolecules.
[0135] Table 2:
[0136] Example 23: Photostability Test of Compound 5 To verify that this type of dye with upconversion ability can have better photostability under long-wavelength irradiation, compound 1 was selected for verification.
[0137] Procedure: Add 3 mL of water to a 1×1 cm quartz cuvette, and add 3 μL of dye stock solution to bring the dye concentration to 2 μM. After mixing thoroughly, irradiate the cuvette using a 760 nm laser source and a 660 nm laser source, maintaining a uniform optical power of 20 mW / cm². 2 The absorption spectrum of compound 1 was measured at different time points, and the photobleaching rate of compound 1 was determined by the rate of decrease at its maximum absorption wavelength.
[0138] like Figure 6 As shown, the photobleaching rate of the compound under 760 nm laser irradiation is significantly lower than that under 660 nm laser irradiation, indicating that longer wavelength irradiation is beneficial for improving the photostability of the dye. Since both 660 nm and 760 nm lasers can induce bright fluorescence in compound 5 at 720 nm, the compounds involved in general formula I exhibit better stability in imaging and therapeutic applications compared to ordinary dyes.
