Description

Rhodamine imidazole-containing six-membered ring compound and preparation method and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of analytical chemistry, in particular to a rhodamine imidazole containing hexatomic ring compound and a preparation method and application thereof.

Background

Transition metal ions are indispensable and important components in the living body, and participate in a variety of basic physiological processes in many living bodies. Among them, copper is an extremely important transition metal, and is responsible for normal functions and metabolic processes of various organs. However, Cu²⁺Can lead to growth failure and neurodegenerative diseases, and in biological processesExcess Cu²⁺Can lead to severe alzheimer's disease, wilson's disease and metabolic disorders. Currently, the fluorescent chemical sensor can effectively and selectively monitor the distribution and dynamic fluctuation of metal ions in living cells and subcellular microenvironments, and the deep understanding of various metal-mediated physiological and pathological processes and disease diagnosis draws extensive attention.

Researchers develop fluorescent small molecular probes taking coumarin, curcumin, pyrene, naphthalimide, anthocyanin, BODIPY, rhodamine and the like as fluorophores as parent bodies. Rhodamine, as represented, has high advantages due to its excellent photophysical properties, such as high extinction coefficient, excellent quantum yield, good photostability, and relatively long emission wavelength. Because rhodamine spironolactone or spironolactone derivatives are non-fluorescent and colorless, the corresponding spironolactone/lactone ring-opening produces intense fluorescence emission and a pink fluorescence-enhanced probe. Based on this, the proper ligand on the spironolactone ring can cause color change and fluorescence change after the metal ions are added, and the ligand becomes the first choice for scientific researchers to design and detect the copper ions.

1997, Czarnik group [ Dujols, v.; ford, F.; czarnik, A.W.J.Am.chem.Soc.1997, 119, 7386-]Report that rhodamine B hydrazide ring-opening reaction detects Cu²⁺The inventive work of (1). Rhodamine B hydrazide as Cu²⁺Can selectively identify Cu²⁺While being Cu²⁺Promoting hydrolysis to obtain fluorescent rhodamine B. Experiments show that the system can detect 10nM Cu²⁺。

Swamy et al [ Swamy, k.m.k.; ko, s.k.; kwon, s.k.; lee, h.n.; mao, c.; kim, j.m.; lee, k.h.; kim, j.; shin, I,; yoon, J.chem.Commun.2008, 5915-]Boronic acid-linked copper ion fluorescent and colorimetric chemical probes are reported. Realizes the Cu in different metal ions by a chelation mechanism²⁺The probe has the naked eye recognition capability of 300 mu M and the fluorescence quantum yield of 0.45, and successfully realizes the detection of copper ions in mammalian cells and organismsApplication of noodles.

2012 Kumar et al [ Kumar, m.; kumar, n.; bhalla, v.; sharma, p.r.; kaur, T.org.Lett.2012, 14, 406-409) reports rhodamine hydrazine containing five-membered ring compounds, and the detection limit of the compounds on copper ions is 20nM by a hydrolysis mechanism, and the yield of fluorescence quantum is 0.19. Imaging of copper ions in human prostate cancer cells is achieved.

The traditional rhodamine five-membered ring structure is difficult to improve the detection capability of copper ions. Because, the detection mechanism of copper ions by rhodamine five-membered ring C-N bond is roughly divided into two types: 1) chelating mode and 2) hydrolysis mode, but the probe has low chelating efficiency with copper ions and hydrolysis is incomplete. Meanwhile, the traditional rhodamine five-membered ring lactam structure usually shows an 'unstable' characteristic in an acid solution, thereby bringing uncertainty and limitation to the application of the rhodamine five-membered ring lactam structure. Therefore, the search for a new and advantageous helical toroidal skeleton is a feasible path to improve the copper ion detection capability.

Wu et al [ Wu, C., 2012; bian, q.n.; zhang, b.g.; cai, x.; zhang, s.d.; zheng, h.; yang, s.y.; jiang, Y.B.org.Lett.2012, 14, 4198-4201] reports rhodamine six-membered ring compounds for the first time, the naked eye recognition capability of the probe on copper ions is 10 mu M by participating in the cleavage of C-N bonds and the formation of isothiocyanate groups, and the fluorescence quantum yield is 0.079.

2017, Majumdar et al [ Majumdar, A.; lim, c.s.; kim, h.m.; ghosh, K.ACS Omega 2017, 2, 8167-]Reports that rhodamine six-membered ring compounds can selectively distinguish Cu by C-C bond cleavage and metallic copper ion chelation²⁺The detection limit of the probe to copper ions is 0.554 mu M, the fluorescence quantum yield is 0.63, and the application of the probe to the copper ions in cervical cancer cells is successfully realized.

However, there are few reports that probes can simultaneously achieve the detection of copper ions at the nM naked eye recognition and the pM detection level. In order to find ultra-sensitive detection copper ions, the method is based on the rhodamine compound, can possibly improve and identify the hydrolysis rate of metal copper ions, completely synthesizes a series of rhodamine imidazole-containing six-membered ring compounds, and inspects the copper ion detection capability of the rhodamine imidazole-containing six-membered ring compounds. Opens up a new way for developing a hypersensitive fluorescent probe.
