Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a dicyanisatone derivative, a preparation method thereof and application of the dicyanisatone derivative as a near-infrared fluorescent probe for detecting COX-2, and belongs to the technical field of chemical sensing materials. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cyclooxygenase (hereinafter referred to as COX) is a key enzyme for catalyzing the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandin, and is involved in various physiological and pathological processes. COX has two structural subtypes: structural cyclooxygenase 1 (hereinafter referred to as COX-1) and inducible cyclooxygenase 2 (hereinafter referred to as COX-2). COX-1 is continuously and stably expressed in most tissues and is responsible for regulating the "housekeeping" function, which is crucial for tissue homeostasis; in contrast, COX-2, as a trigger factor for prostaglandin synthesis, mediates pathological responses and special physiological processes, and is usually not detected or has very low levels in normal tissues, and can be induced to express by inflammatory stimuli, cytokines (such as IL-1, TNF-alpha), growth factors, and carcinogenic agents, and is significantly up-regulated in pathological conditions such as inflammation and cancer. In addition, COX-2 is not only expressed in various cancers, but also has functions in regulating inflammation, tumor cell proliferation and apoptosis, etc. Therefore, a detailed understanding of COX-2 in the pathological mechanism of related inflammation and tumor progression and drug treatment evaluation is crucial.

[0003] Due to the diversity and complexity of the internal environment of the body, it is of great research value and significance to develop an analysis method with high selectivity and sensitivity for detecting COX-2. Although the commonly used COX-2 detection methods such as Western Blot, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry can detect the content of COX-2 protein, they usually require sample destruction, complex operation, and cannot be monitored in real time. Fluorescent probe imaging technology not only has high sensitivity and simple operation, but also can realize real-time, dynamic, and high spatiotemporal resolution visualization analysis, and plays an important role in the field of life analysis. The high sensitivity, high biocompatibility, and visualization of fluorescent probes are very meaningful for realizing real-time in-situ detection and analysis of COX-2.

[0004] However, the current fluorescent probes for detecting COX-2 have low sensitivity, insufficient selectivity, short wavelength of fluorescent signal, and are greatly affected by the complex background in the body, which limits their application in the field of biological analysis. For example, the patent application with the application number CN202410759469.7 discloses a ratio fluorescent probe, a preparation method and application thereof, which is composed of dicyanisatone as a fluorescent group, a morpholine moiety as a lysosome targeting group, and a naphthalene ring as a bridging group. The probe has high cytotoxicity, and the cell survival rate is less than 70% at 30 μM; the spectral properties depend on the polarity of the solvent, which is highly interfered; and the wavelength of the fluorescent signal is short.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example 1

[0022] A dicyanoisoflurone derivative, wherein the derivative is a small organic molecule compound based on dicyanoisoflurone derivatives, and the structure is shown in Formula I: .

[0023] The preparation method of the dicyanoisoflurone derivative shown in Formula I above, and the synthetic route are as follows:

[0024] The above preparation method specifically includes the following steps: (1) Dissolve dicyanofluorene of formula IV (280 mg, 1.5 mmol) and p-acetamidobenzaldehyde (244 mg, 1.5 mmol) in anhydrous ethanol, add 250 μL of piperidine dropwise and reflux for 6 h. Remove the solvent by extraction with dichloromethane. Dissolve the solid in a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and anhydrous ethanol (volume ratio 2:1) and reflux for 3-4 h.

[0026] 13 C NMR (400 MHz, CDC13-dl) δ (ppm): 169.98, 169.36, 168.49, 156.37, 155.36, 149.98, 139.77, 138.27, 136.45, 133.62, 131.32, 131.05, 130.42, 129.75, 129.36, 124.86, 124.56, 121.62, 115.22, 114.30, 113.52, 113.04, 112.92, 112.41, 101.02, 76.02, 55.8, 43.48, 43.12, 39.36, 32.38, 32.09, 29.55, 29.18, 28.16, 26.48, 13.36. Example 2

[0027] The application of a dicyanoisatin derivative as shown in formula I as a near-infrared fluorescent probe for detecting COX-2.

[0028] The principle of detecting COX-2 is shown as follows:

[0029] When the dicyanoisatin derivative as shown in formula I is used to detect COX-2, the response group indomethacin part of the derivative is recognized and combined by the detected substance COX-2, so that the PET effect of the probe is inhibited, thereby causing the quenched fluorescent signal to be restored in the near-infrared fluorescent wavelength range. Specifically, when the dicyanoisatin derivative as shown in formula I provided by the application reacts with COX-2, the recognition group indomethacin part of the derivative specifically binds to the hydrophobic pocket composed of Arg120, Tyr355 and Glu524 in COX-2, forming an unfolded conformation, inhibiting the PET effect of the derivative, and restoring the quenched fluorescent signal in the near-infrared fluorescent wavelength range 625 nm, thereby realizing the detection of COX-2.

[0030] The carboxyl group of indomethacin is replaced by an amide structure, which eliminates the inhibitory activity of COX-1 and retains the selectivity of COX-2. The affinity of the derivative to the tested enzyme COX-2 is much higher than that to other similar enzymes (such as COX-1), which can effectively distinguish between the two, and this "on-off" response mode greatly improves the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity of the detection. The combination of the present application makes the probe specific and reduces the influence of other interfering ions in the living body.

[0031] A mixed solution (volume ratio 9:1) of Tris-HCl buffer solution and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as the reaction system, and the final concentration of the derivative represented by formula I was 10 μM. The fluorescence intensity was detected at an excitation wavelength of 525 nm. Then COX-2 (dissolved in ultrapure water with a concentration of 10 μg / mL) was added to the above mixed solution, and the final concentration of the derivative was 10 μM, and the final concentration of COX-2 was 0.3 μg / mL. The maximum fluorescence emission wavelength under 525 nm excitation was 625 nm, and the fluorescence intensity at 625 nm near-infrared fluorescence wavelength at different time points (0 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 50 min, 60 min, 70 min, 80 min) was collected.

[0032] The reaction time and the fluorescence intensity at 625 nm wavelength were plotted as the abscissa and the ordinate respectively, and the time-dependent results of the probe for COX-2 detection were shown in Figure 1 . It can be seen from Figure 1 that the reaction of the derivative and COX-2 is completed within 60 min and reaches a stable equilibrium. Therefore, only 60 min of reaction time is needed for the fluorescence intensity to reach saturation, and the derivative represented by formula I can realize rapid and sensitive detection of COX-2.

[0033] Selective detection of COX-2 in weak alkaline aqueous solution by dicyanoisatin derivative represented by formula I and spectral response

[0034] The dicyanoisatin derivative represented by formula I (dissolved in DMSO) and the tested ions (SO4 2- , Cl - , K + , S2O3 2- , Mg 2+ , Al 3+ , Na + , Ca 2+ , HSO3 - , HSO4 -, Vc, L-Arg, L-Cys, Gly, L-Ala, trypsin, BSA, ovalbumin, COX-1, COX-2 were dissolved in ultrapure water and added to a mixed solution prepared by mixing DMSO and Tris-HCl (100 mM, pH = 8.0) at a volume ratio of 1:9, wherein the final concentration of the derivative was 10 μM, the final concentration of SO4 2- , Cl - , K + , S2O3 2- , Mg 2+ , Al 3+ , Na + , Ca 2 + , HSO3 - , HSO4 - , the final concentration of Vc, L-Arg, L-Cys, Gly, L-Ala was 500 μM, the final concentration of trypsin, BSA, ovalbumin, COX-1 was 10 μg / mL, and the final concentration of COX-2 was 0.5 μg / mL. The corresponding solutions were respectively recorded as 1-21, and the solution without adding any test substance and only adding the derivative was recorded as 0. The fluorescence intensity at the maximum fluorescence emission wavelength of 625 nm was detected under an excitation wavelength of 525 nm.

[0035] The results of the selective detection of the dicyanofurone derivative represented by Formula I on COX-2 are shown in Figure 2 . It can be seen from Figure 2 that when COX-2 is added to the mixed solution prepared by mixing DMSO and Tris-HCl (100 mM, pH = 8.0) at a volume ratio of 1:9, the fluorescence intensity of the derivative at 625 nm is significantly enhanced; and when other possible interfering ions, molecules, common amino acids and proteases are added to the mixed solution prepared by mixing DMSO and Tris-HCl (100 mM, pH = 8.0) at a volume ratio of 1:9, the fluorescence intensity of the derivative at 625 nm hardly changes. Therefore, it is indicated that the dicyanofurone derivative represented by Formula I can realize high selective detection of COX-2 in weakly basic aqueous solution.

[0036] The dicyanofurone derivative represented by Formula I (dissolved in DMSO) and COX-2 (dissolved in ultrapure water) were added to a mixed solution prepared by mixing DMSO and Tris-HCl (100 mM, pH = 8.0) at a volume ratio of 1:9. The final concentration of the derivative was 10 μM, and the final concentration of COX-2 was 0 μg / mL, 0.1 μg / mL, 0.2 μg / mL, 0.3 μg / mL, 0.4 μg / mL, 0.5 μg / mL, respectively. The fluorescence intensity was detected under an excitation wavelength of 525 nm.

[0037] The results of fluorescence intensity detection are shown in [the table]. Figure 3 .Depend on Figure 3 It was found that when only the derivative shown in Formula I was present in the mixed solution prepared by mixing DMSO and Tris-HCl (100 mM, pH=8.0) at a volume ratio of 1:9, a weak fluorescence signal was generated at 625 nm under an excitation wavelength of 525 nm. When COX-2 was further added to the mixed solution, a stronger fluorescence signal was generated at 625 nm under an excitation wavelength of 525 nm, and the fluorescence signal significantly increased with increasing COX-2 concentration. Therefore, the dicyanoisoflurone derivative shown in Formula I has the purpose of highly selective and sensitive detection of COX-2 in vitro, especially for the detection and analysis of COX-2 in weakly alkaline aqueous solutions.

[0038] Experimental verification of the cell biocompatibility of the near-infrared probe of the dicyanoisoflurone derivative shown in Formula I.

[0039] The biocompatibility and safety of the dicyanoisoflurone derivative shown in Formula I were assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) reagent, with human and mouse macrophage J774A.1 cells as the experimental cell line. After cells adhered to 96-well plates for 12 h, different concentrations of the fluorescent probe shown in Formula I (0 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, 15 μM, 20 μM, 25 μM, 30 μM, 35 μM, 40 μM, and 45 μM) were added to multiple groups of cells and incubated for 6 h. Subsequently, 10 μL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well and incubated for 2 h. The absorbance of the samples at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader, and the difference in absorbance reflected the cell viability.

[0040] The results of the study on the cytotoxicity of the dicyanoisoflurone derivative shown in Formula I against J774A.1 cells are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. By Figure 4 It can be seen that the dicyanoisoflurone derivative shown in Formula I has low toxicity to J774A.1 cells. Even at a derivative concentration of 10 μM, the survival rate of J774A.1 cells can still reach over 90%. In cell experiments, when using the derivative shown in Formula I at a working concentration of 10 μM and for a short treatment time, the effect of the probe on cell survival is negligible. In other words, the derivative has high safety and good biocompatibility for cells.

[0041] The near-infrared probe of dicyanoisoflurone derivative shown in Formula I is used for the detection of intracellular COX-2.

[0042] Using the mouse mononuclear macrophage cell line J774A.1 as an example, the dicyanoisoflurone derivative shown in Formula I was used to detect endogenous COX-2 in the cells.

[0043] Group a: the dicyanoisatone derivative of formula I (dissolved in DMSO, concentration 10 mM) was added to J774A.1 cells, and the final concentration of the dicyanoisatone derivative of formula I was 10 μM, and incubated at 37 °C for 60 min.

[0044] Group b: lipopolysaccharide (LPS, to further trigger the production of endogenous COX-2) was added to J774A.1 cells, and the final concentration of LPS was 1 μg / mL, and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h, and then washed with PBS buffer solution (10 mM, pH = 7.40), and then the dicyanoisatone derivative of formula I (dissolved in DMSO, concentration 10 mM) was added, and the final concentration of the dicyanoisatone derivative of formula I was 10 μM, and incubated at 37 °C for 60 min.

[0045] Group c: lipopolysaccharide (LPS, to stimulate the occurrence of inflammation and further trigger the production of endogenous COX-2) was added to J774A.1 cells, and the final concentration of LPS was 1 μg / mL, and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h, and then dexamethasone (DEX, to treat inflammation and reduce the production of endogenous COX-2) was added after 1 h of LPS incubation, and the final concentration of DEX was 500 μM, and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h, and then washed with PBS buffer solution (10 mM, pH = 7.40) after incubation, and then the dicyanoisatone derivative of formula I (dissolved in DMSO, concentration 10 mM) was added, and the final concentration of the dicyanoisatone derivative of formula I was 10 μM, and incubated at 37 °C for 60 min.

[0046] The laser confocal microscope imaging of each group of J774A.1 cells was detected, and the excitation wavelength was 515 nm, and the fluorescence collection wavelength was 575 nm-675 nm.

[0047] The confocal microscope imaging results are shown in Figure 5The imaging results show that when J774A.1 cells are only incubated with the dicyanoisatin derivative shown in formula I, a fluorescent signal can appear in the cells (group a), indicating that the dicyanoisatin derivative shown in formula I can detect endogenous COX-2 in cells; when LPS is added to J774A.1 cells, and then the dicyanoisatin derivative shown in formula I is added, it is observed that the fluorescent signal in J774A.1 cells is significantly enhanced compared with the fluorescent signal of the experimental control group a (group b); after the inflammation of the cells is treated with anti-inflammatory agent DEX after LPS stimulation, the fluorescent signal in the cells is significantly lower than that of group b. This indicates that after LPS stimulates cell inflammation, the expression of COX-2 in the cells increases, and after the inflammation is treated, the level of COX-2 in the cells decreases, further proving that the dicyanoisatin derivative shown in formula I can detect different levels of endogenous COX-2 in cells.

[0048] Therefore, it is shown that the dicyanoisatin derivative shown in formula I provided in the present application can realize the monitoring of COX-2 in cells, and has good cell permeability and biological applicability.

[0049] In summary, the dicyanoisatin derivative fluorescent probe shown in formula I of the present application can be applied to the rapid and sensitive detection of low-concentration COX-2 in aqueous solution and cells, and the detection of COX-2 is performed by directly combining the response group with COX-2, which has stronger specificity, and the change in spectrum is completely dependent on the content of COX-2 and is not affected by the solvent and the intracellular environment, which has important significance for the rapid detection of COX-2.

[0050] It should be noted that the above examples do not limit the present application in any form, and any technical solutions obtained by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present application.
