The D-fluorescein is the substrate of the bioluminescence reaction of dependency ATP, and noctilcent principle is that luciferase is at Mg
2++, O
2Under the condition that exists with ATP, catalysis D-fluorescein forms the oxidized fluorescence element, sends an enzyme reaction process of photon in reaction process, and reaction formula is expressed as:
Because of the ATP in the reaction is all biological energy derives, under certain condition, the ATP amount of sending in light intensity and the reactive system is directly proportional, therefore biloluminescence method can be widely used in the detection of biomaterial, detection by quantitative and the sanitary condition assessment in the health detection and the rapid detection of microbe population as ultramicron in the medical jurisprudence, in addition since luciferase gene as a reporter gene, on molecular biology, be widely used, therefore, the application of luciferase-luciferin bioluminescence has very big market, the D-fluorescein is as a kind of substrate of bioluminescence reaction, and along with the increase that the noclilucence method is used, its demand is increasing.Because of the D-fluorescein is a kind of steric isomer, oxidation is untwisted and is seen photolysis easily in some solvents, and international and domestic product is the price height not only, and delivery date is long, and home products content is low, and luminous coefficient is not high.
(ρ-anisidine) synthetic by eight footworks, total yield was 5.8% with methyl oxyaniline in 1963 by people such as White at first in the chemosynthesis of D-fluorescein.Seto in 1963 also uses methyl oxyaniline, and (ρ-anisidine) synthesized the D-fluorescein by five-step approach, total yield are 6.5%.People such as White had synthesized the D-fluorescein from 2-amino-6-methoxyl group-benzothiazole by four step rule afterwards, yield reaches 13.9%, but this method in 1978 by people such as Seto prove a kind of very easily and the method for mass preparation D-fluorescein, its yield has kept the level of lab scale substantially, this method is a kind of carboxylic reagent of preparation earlier, in fact is total up to for five steps.1992, the people such as Yoshiaki Toya of Japan have synthesized the D-fluorescein from 2-amino-6-methoxyl group-benzothiazole by three-step approach, total yield reaches 36%, 1993, by the synthetic D-fluorescein of the four step rule of PEG hydrotropy, total yield is 49% to the people such as Nobutaka Suzuki of Japan from 2-amino-6-methoxyl group-benzothiazole.
In documents and materials, about the newer method of the chemosynthesis approach of D-fluorescein all is to be raw material with 2-amino-6-methoxyl group-benzothiazole, behind the cyano group demethylation, form by carrying out condensation with the D-halfcystine, about cyanogenation, in people's such as YoshiakiToya the synthetic method, cuprous and isoAmNO (nitrosification isopentyl ester) synthesizes a kind of nitrosyl mixture (CuCl with anhydrous chlorides of rase
2.NO), this material is acetonitrile (CH
3CN)-the Sandmyer response service of 2-aminobenzothiazole in polyoxyethylene glycol (PEG) 200 mixtures.The 2-aminobenzothiazole is not exclusively dissolving in acetonitrile solution, and the adding of PEG can make it dissolve fully.Acetonitrile (CH
3CN)-polyoxyethylene glycol (PEG) 200 obtained best result, when using CuBr
2Replaced C uCl
2The time, bromination reaction temperature (110 ℃) during than chlorination reaction (140 ℃) low, the highest yield of single step of chlorination-cyanogenation is 79%, and the highest yield of single step of bromination-cyanogenation is 70%.
For demethylating reaction, available pyridine hydrochloride method is carried out, initial method is the hydrochloric acid gas that feeds new system in pyridine solution, and adding 2-cyano group-6-methoxyl group benzo thiazole carries out, and newer method is that 2-cyano group-6-methoxyl group benzo thiazole and pyridine hydrochloride reaction 45min in the sealed tube of the logical nitrogen of high temperature (200 ℃) carry out relatively.
The reaction path complexity of above-mentioned preparation D-fluorescein requires severe reaction conditions, and conversion unit requires high, and is difficult to control, and the total yield of D-fluorescein is not high.
