Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fluorescence analysis and detection technology, and in particular to a near-infrared fluorescent probe for the detection of butyrylcholinesterase, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an important serine hydrolase widely found in plasma, liver, nerve tissue, and various body fluids, primarily involved in the metabolism of choline esters. BChE activity levels are closely related to liver function impairment, acute inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, pesticide poisoning, and various metabolic diseases. In particular, in serum samples, BChE is often used as an important biomarker for evaluating liver reserve function and disease progression.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for detecting BChE include colorimetric methods, electrochemical methods, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and mass spectrometry. Although these methods have high accuracy, they generally suffer from problems such as complex sample pretreatment, long detection cycles, expensive equipment, and difficulty in achieving real-time dynamic monitoring, which limits their application in rapid clinical screening and point-of-care testing.

[0004] Fluorescent probe detection methods have gained widespread attention in enzyme activity analysis in recent years due to their advantages such as high sensitivity, rapid response, ease of operation, and the ability to achieve real-time dynamic imaging. However, most existing BChE fluorescent probes use short-wavelength fluorescent nuclei, which suffer from strong biological background fluorescence interference, poor tissue penetration, and limited detection sensitivity. Furthermore, some probes have insufficient selectivity of recognition groups, making them susceptible to interference from carboxylesterase (CE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE), leading to decreased accuracy of detection results. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a near-infrared fluorescent probe, its preparation method and its application in the detection of butyrylcholinesterase.

[0015] Preferably, the buffer solution is PBS buffer with a concentration of 10 mM and a pH of 7.4.

[0016] This invention provides a near-infrared fluorescent probe. The fluorescent probe provided by this invention is based on a near-infrared fluorescent core derived from juloridine. By introducing a p-hydroxybenzylcyclopropionyl ester recognition group, the probe's initial fluorescence is quenched. In the presence of BChE, the cyclopropionyl ester group undergoes specific enzymatic hydrolysis, triggering a self-immolative elimination process, restoring the near-infrared emission of the fluorescent core, thereby achieving highly sensitive and accurate detection of BChE.

[0060] Under nitrogen protection, compound 1 (0.5 mmol) and sodium carbonate (212 mg, 2 mmol) were dissolved in 7 mL of water, and then 6 mL of dichloromethane was added to form a biphase system. Sodium dithionite (400 mg, 2 mmol) was then dissolved in 10 mL of water and slowly added dropwise to the reaction system, and the mixture was stirred at 40 °C for 1 hour.

[0061] p-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol and cyclopropionyl chloride were added to 10 mL of dichloromethane at a molar ratio of 1:1.5, and esterification was carried out in the presence of triethylamine. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography using petroleum ether / ethyl acetate (v / v = 20:1) as the eluent to give compound 3.

[0065] ESI-MS: C 34 H 38 N3O5 + Calculated value: 568.2806; Actual measurement: 568.2801. The above results confirm that the obtained product is the target product.

[0066] Example 2 Probe-BChE is used for BChE standard testing: Experimental group: Probe-BChE solid was dissolved in DMSO to prepare a probe stock solution with a final concentration of 1 mM, which was stored at -20℃ protected from light. 10 μL of the probe stock solution was added to PBS buffer (10 mM, pH = 7.4), followed by different volumes of BChE standard solution. The volume was then adjusted to 1000 μL using PBS buffer to obtain the test solution. The final BChE concentrations in the test solutions were 0 U / L, 20 U / L, 50 U / L, 100 U / L, 200 U / L, 400 U / L, 600 U / L, and 800 U / L, respectively; the final probe concentration was 5 μM. After incubating the test solutions at 37℃ for 30 min, the results were detected using a fluorescence spectrophotometer.

[0067] The detection conditions were as follows: excitation wavelength set to 650 nm; excitation and emission slit widths of 5 nm and 10 nm, respectively; photomultiplier tube operating voltage of 700 V; and emission spectra recorded in the range of 680–850 nm. A standard curve was plotted with BChE concentration on the x-axis and fluorescence intensity at the fluorescence emission peak on the y-axis.

[0068] The results showed that, within the range of 0–800 U / L, the probe fluorescence intensity exhibited a good linear relationship with the BChE concentration: F = 18.72C + 1256 (R0). 2 =0.9978), such as Figure 1As shown. According to the 3σ / k method, the near-infrared fluorescent probe provided by this invention has a high detection sensitivity of 0.3 U / L for BChE, which can meet the needs of rapid analysis of trace BChE in serum samples.

[0069] Control group: The only difference from the experimental group was that the BChE standard solution was replaced with PBS buffer.

[0070] The results showed that after incubation at 37℃ for 30 min, the fluorescence signal of Probe-BChE remained basically stable in the control group, with only weak background fluorescence observed at 740 nm and no significant increase in fluorescence intensity.

[0071] Example 3 Detection of Probe-BChE in human serum samples: Serum samples from healthy volunteers were collected, centrifuged, and then used for later use. Known concentrations of BChE standard solution were added to the serum samples for spiked recovery experiments at concentrations of 100 U / L, 300 U / L, and 500 U / L. 10 μL of probe stock solution was added to PBS buffer, followed by 10 μL of serum sample. The PBS buffer was then brought to a final volume of 1000 μL, and fluorescence detection was performed according to the detection conditions described in Example 2. A standard clinical colorimetric method was used as a control method to simultaneously determine the BChE concentration in the serum samples.

[0072] Table 1. Analytical results of BChE concentration in serum samples (n = 5)

[0073] As shown in Table 1, the near-infrared fluorescent probe Probe-BChE provided by this invention can achieve rapid detection of butyrylcholinesterase in serum samples, and the detection results are basically consistent with those of conventional clinical colorimetric methods. The spiked recoveries obtained by the fluorescence method are 97.0%~101.6%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) are all less than 5%, indicating that the method has good accuracy, stability and repeatability, and can meet the needs of rapid analysis and detection of BChE in serum samples, thus having good clinical application value.

[0074] Comparative Example 1 The only difference from Example 1 is that cyclopropionyl chloride is replaced with cyclobutyryl chloride; all other preparation conditions are the same as in Example 1. The probe obtained differs from the probe of Example 1 in that the recognition group is replaced with a cyclobutyryl ester group instead of a cyclopropionyl ester group.

[0075] The BChE response performance of the probe was evaluated using the same method as in Example 2.

[0076] The results showed that, within the range of 0–800 U / L, the probe prepared in Comparative Example 1 only exhibited weak fluorescence enhancement after the addition of BChE, and the fluorescence intensity did not show a good linear relationship with the BChE concentration (R0). 2 <0.90), which is insufficient to meet the sensitivity requirements for detecting BChE in serum samples.

[0077] The reason is speculated to be that the large steric hindrance of the cyclobutyryl ester group reduces the recognition and catalytic efficiency of BChE for the substrate, thus making it difficult for the probe to undergo effective enzymatic hydrolysis and subsequent self-destruction release process.

[0078] Therefore, the probe prepared in Comparative Example 1 is not suitable as a BChE fluorescence detection probe.

[0079] Comparative Example 2 The only difference from Example 1 is that cyclopropionyl chloride is replaced with cyclopentanoyl chloride; all other preparation conditions are the same as in Example 1. The probe obtained differs from the probe of Example 1 in that the recognition group is replaced with "cyclopentanoyl ester group".

[0080] The BChE response performance of the probe was evaluated using the same method as in Example 2.

[0081] The results showed that, under the same experimental conditions, the probe prepared in Comparative Example 2 showed almost no significant fluorescence enhancement after the addition of BChE, and no reliable linear relationship between concentration and fluorescence intensity was established, making it impossible to accurately detect BChE in serum samples.

[0082] The reason is speculated to be that the cyclopentanoyl ester group has greater steric hindrance, which reduces the matching between the probe and the BChE active pocket, significantly reduces the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis, and thus cannot effectively trigger the fluorescence recovery of the probe.

[0083] Therefore, the probe prepared in Comparative Example 2 is not suitable as a BChE fluorescence detection probe.

[0084] The experimental results of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 show that the ring size of the recognition group has a significant impact on the BChE recognition performance of the probe. Compared with cyclobutyryl ester and cyclovaleryl ester structures, the cyclopropionyl ester structure has better spatial matching and catalytic adaptability to the BChE active site, enabling efficient enzymatic hydrolysis and significant fluorescence recovery. Therefore, cyclopropionyl ester is the preferred recognition group of this invention.

[0085] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
