Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biological detection, specifically to peroxidase fluorescent substrates. Background Technology
[0002] Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the process of detecting, locating, and / or quantifying antigens (e.g., proteins) in biological samples using antibodies against specific antigens. A significant advantage of IHC is its ability to precisely identify the location of specific proteins in tissue samples. It is also an effective method for examining the tissue itself. In situ hybridization (ISH) is the process of detecting, locating, and quantifying nucleic acids. Both IHC and ISH can be performed on a variety of biological samples, such as tissues (e.g., fresh-frozen, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded) and cytological samples. Regardless of whether the target is a nucleic acid or an antigen, various markers (e.g., chromogenic, fluorescent, luminescent, radioactive) can be used to detect target recognition. To reliably detect, locate, and quantify targets in a clinical setting, amplification of recognition events is necessary, as the ability to reliably detect low-abundance cellular markers is becoming increasingly important for diagnostic purposes. For example, in response to a single antigen detection event, hundreds or thousands of marker molecules are deposited at the labeling site; amplification enhances the ability to detect that recognition event.
[0003] Amplification is often accompanied by adverse events, such as nonspecific signals, which manifest as background signal enhancement. Background signal enhancement can interfere with clinical analysis because it masks weak signals that may be associated with low expression (but are clinically significant). Therefore, while amplification to identify events is desirable, there is a strong need for amplification methods that do not increase background signal. Tyramine signal amplification (TSA) is such a method, also known as catalytic reporter gene deposition (CARD).
[0004] Tyramine signal amplification (TSA) is an enzyme-mediated amplification technique. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalyzes the conversion of tyramine into oxygen-reactive free radicals. This intermediate can rapidly covalently bind to proteins or HRP-linked antibodies. A fluorescent dye is then bound to the tyramine molecule, forming a covalent binding site, thereby stably and efficiently enriching the fluorescein around and depositing it onto the target cell, resulting in a geometric amplification of the detection signal. However, the detection sensitivity of the currently used fluorescent substrate TSA-FITC (FITCT) is still relatively low, requiring further improvement. This is mainly because the fluorescence signal intensity of FITC fluorescein itself is insufficient. Other fluoresceins such as Alexa Fluor488, Dylight488, and iFluor488 are available, but these are all imported reagents, resulting in higher costs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The compound of this invention reacts with peroxidase and peroxide to produce an enhanced, optically detectable signal, providing a fluorescent substrate with a larger Stokes shift and a higher signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, this fluorescent substrate exhibits good photostability and can be used in TSA detection to obtain better imaging results.

[0043] The term "TSA" refers to the highly sensitive detection of a target analyte achieved through the catalytic action of tyrosinase, which deposits a fluorescein-conjugated tyrosine substrate around the analyte and amplifies the signal. In this invention, specific antibodies are first screened for the target analyte and labeled with horseradish peroxidase. Simultaneously, fluorescein is linked to p-hydroxyphenylethylamine. Through horseradish peroxidase catalysis, p-hydroxyphenylethylamine is linked to tyrosine residues of the protein, enriching the fluorescein around the target analyte and achieving highly sensitive detection.
[0044] The term "quantum yield" refers to the ratio of the number of fluorescent photons emitted after a fluorescent substance absorbs light to the number of photons of the absorbed excitation light, used to express the luminescence efficiency of a sample. The magnitude of the fluorescence quantum yield is primarily determined by the structure and properties of the compound, and is also related to environmental factors. The fluorescence quantum yield only reflects the luminescence efficiency of the fluorescent substrate in that solution. The intensity of the fluorescence signal detected in a sample is related to both the characteristics of the fluorophore and the amount of fluorophore labeled in the sample.

[0047] I. Synthesis of Compounds Example 1: Synthesis of Compound 1:
[0048] Step 1: Synthesis of Compounds 1-2 Methyl 4-bromomethylphenylacetate (11.50 g, 47.32 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (12.40 g, 47.32 mmol) were weighed and added to toluene (100 mL). The mixture was refluxed at 120 °C for about 5 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with a small amount of ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give compounds 1-2 (white solid, 15.7 g, yield 78.07%).
[0049] LC-MS [M-Br] + = 425.17.
[0050] Step 2: Synthesis of compounds 1-4 Weigh 10.00 g (58.14 mmol) of 6-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde and 11.86 g (174.41 mmol) of imidazole into DMF. After cooling in an ice-water bath for 30 min, add TBSCl (13.14 g, 87.02 mmol) in portions. After the addition is complete, react at room temperature for about 24 hours. Add 250 mL of water and extract with ethyl acetate (150 mL x 2). Wash the organic phase with saturated brine, dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrate under reduced pressure, purify by silica gel column chromatography, elute with petroleum ether:ethyl acetate = 95:5, and concentrate to give compounds 1-4 (orange-red oily liquid, 12.8 g, yield 76.98%).
[0051] LC-MS [M+H] + = 287.14.
[0052] Step 3: Synthesis of compounds 1-5 Compounds 1-2 (11.50 g, 27.06 mmol) were weighed and dissolved in dichloromethane (10 mL). The mixture was purged with nitrogen three times and cooled to -80 °C. Potassium tert-butoxide (7.6 g, 67.73 mmol) was added, followed by the addition of a dichloromethane solution of compound 1-4 (7.74 g, 27.06 mmol). The mixture was then reacted at -80 °C for approximately 24 hours. The pH was adjusted to 6 by adding 1 mol / L dilute hydrochloric acid at 0 °C. Water (5 V) was added, and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3 V x 2). The organic phase was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated under reduced pressure, purified by silica gel column chromatography, and eluted with petroleum ether:ethyl acetate = 98:2. The purified compound 1-5 was then concentrated to obtain a white solid (3.5 g, yield 47.49%).
[0053] LC-MS [M+H] + = 433.21.
