Pyrophosphate Prompted Aggregation-Induced Emission: Chemosensor Studies, Cell Imaging, Cytotoxicity, and Hydrolysis of the Phosphoester Bond with Alkaline Phosphatase
摘要： Two zinc complexes [(Zn)2(L2)2Cl2(DMSO)2] (R1) and [Zn(L2)2(NO3)2(H2O)2] (R2) were synthesized and characterized with various spectroscopic data. The single X-ray structure determination reveals that complex R1 is dinuclear and tetrahedral in geometry, while complex R2 is mononuclear and octahedral in geometry. Further, both zinc complexes were investigated for pyrophosphate sensing in an aqueous medium. Complex R1 is found to be selective towards pyrophosphate; it leads to 5.5-fold enhancement in the emission intensity due to aggregation-induced emission. However, complex R2 has shown binding with all, ATP, AMP, ADP, and pyrophosphate, which is attributed to the chelate effect. Consequently, complex R1 was utilized for the intracellular detection of pyrophosphate in HeLa cells. Furthermore, the PPi based zinc complex R1 is also used as a bio-analytical tool to construct a real-time fluorescence assay for the enzymatic activity of alkaline phosphatases (ALP).

Ratiometric Fluorescent Detection of Intracellular Singlet Oxygen by Semiconducting Polymer Dots
摘要： Singlet oxygen (1O2) plays important roles in many biological processes. However, it is very difficult to detect 1O2 in the intracellular environment owing to its relatively low concentration and short lifetime. Here, we developed a ratiometric probe based on semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) that can sensitively detect 1O2 in live cells. An organic dye, singlet oxygen sensor green (SOSG), was doped in polyfluorene Pdots, and excitation energy was efficiently transferred from the polymer to the SOSG dye. Accordingly, the Pdots showed constant blue fluorescence as a reference, and increased green fluorescence upon singlet oxygen generation. The ratiometric response of Pdots was examined in the intracellular environment by in-situ 1O2 generation with a photosensitizer and light irradiation. Both spectroscopic measurements and confocal imaging were performed to monitor intracellular 1O2 generation during photodynamic therapy using the Pdot probe. Our results indicate that the SOSG-doped Pdots are promising for intracellular 1O2 detection.
