Description

  The present invention relates to a chiral sensing method and a chiral sensing agent (chiral sensor) useful for the method.

  Chiral sensing for identifying (identifying) chirality of chiral molecules (chiral compounds) is not only related to basic science in connection with asymmetric catalysis and stereoselective synthesis, but also from applications such as chiral separation and pharmaceuticals. Attention has been paid. However, it is not easy to determine the chirality of chiral molecules having the same physical properties such as molecular weight, melting point / boiling point, and polarity. In order to perform chiral sensing efficiently, it is desirable to use a host molecule having as many molecular recognition sites as possible with respect to the chiral molecule as a guest molecule. Furthermore, it is an important point to develop a host molecule that has the function of converting the chirality of a guest molecule into a signal, outputting it, and amplifying the signal. So far, many systems having either one of molecular recognition ability and signal amplification ability have been reported preferentially, but few systems that have both are found.

  Recently, chiral sensing using so-called supramolecules has attracted attention from both the basic and applied aspects. In order to perform chiral sensing, a pre-designed supramolecule is used as the host molecule, and the absorption spectrum and circular dichroism spectrum of the host-guest complex generated by the interaction with the chiral guest molecule are measured, and the change ( The technique of discriminating the chirality using the difference) as a signal is effective and attracting attention. So far, macrocyclic compounds such as crown ether and calixarene, their metal complexes, and linear conjugated polymers have been used as host molecules. However, many of these have extremely low chiral sensing capabilities. In the case of a macrocyclic compound, a chiral guest can be trapped in the ring, and a high molecular recognition ability can be obtained. However, if there is no absorption band in the visible region, the signal transcription / amplification ability becomes very low. In addition, since a linear conjugated polymer has a wide π-conjugated system, signal amplification is possible, but the ability to capture chiral molecules is poor.

Porphyrin, which is a conjugated macrocycle, forms complexes with various guest molecules through coordination bonds. Accordingly, it is well known that the ultraviolet / visible absorption spectrum changes greatly. In addition, in the case of a chiral guest molecule, not only the absorption spectrum but also the circular dichroism spectrum varies greatly depending on the chirality of the guest molecule. Therefore, these spectral changes can be used as signals for identifying the chirality of guest molecules. So far, chiral sensing using porphyrin dimer has been carried out (Nakanishi et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 5962: Non-Patent Document 1; Inoue et al., J. Am. Chem Soc. 2001, 123, 2979: Non-patent document 2), since the distance between porphyrins is spatially limited, the size and type of guest molecules are limited.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a new technique capable of performing chiral sensing of a wide range of sizes and types of chiral molecules with high sensitivity.

  As a result of repeated studies, the present inventors have succeeded in synthesizing a novel compound having a dendrimer structure in which a large number of porphyrins are three-dimensionally spread, and found that the above object can be achieved by using this compound. It was.

  Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a chiral sensing agent comprising a multiporphyrin dendrimer compound represented by the following formula 1, formula 2 or formula 3.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, there is provided a chiral sensing method for discriminating chirality of a chiral molecule,
(1) preparing a guest compound represented by the following formula 4 wherein both ends of the target chiral molecule are modified with an atomic group containing a nitrogen atom, a phosphorus atom, sulfur, or oxygen; and
(2) a step of measuring a circular dichroism spectrum of a host-guest complex with the guest compound using the multiporphyrin dendrimer compound of any one of Formula 1, Formula 2 or Formula 3 as a host compound;
Is provided.

In Formula 4, CR ^* represents a residue of the target chiral molecule, L represents a nitrogen atom, a phosphorus atom,
It represents an atomic group containing sulfur or oxygen.

  If the multiporphyrin dendrimer according to the present invention is used, chirality can be discriminated with high sensitivity for a wide range of chiral molecules with almost no restrictions on the molecular size.

  The compound of formula 1, 2 or 3 used as a chiral sensing agent according to the present invention has a spherical (wheel-shaped) multiporphyrin dendrimer structure, thereby capturing a chiral molecule and amplifying a chiral signal. It is possible to do at the same time. That is, since the compound of Formula 1, Formula 2 or Formula 3 has a porphyrin unit on the outer surface of the dendrimer structure, it has a high degree of freedom from outside and easily captures a chiral guest by coordination bond. be able to. Moreover, since it has many porphyrin units in a molecule | numerator, it has a huge optical absorption cross section and it becomes possible to remarkably amplify the chiral signal shown by a circular dichroism spectrum.

  It should be noted that the multiporphyrin dendrimer of Formula 1, Formula 2 or Formula 3 used in the present invention has all porphyrin units located in a specific layer of the dendrimer structure, and all porphyrin units are similar. It is taken into the chemical environment. This is a very advantageous structure in coordination bond, molecular recognition, and further signal amplification. In addition, this multiporphyrin dendrimer also has the advantage that various metal multiporphyrin dendrimer complexes can be easily constructed by freely changing the type of metal ion coordinated by the Porphyrin ring. . As described above, chiral sensing using a bisporphyrin derivative having two porphyrin units has been proposed in the past, but examples of chiral sensing agents comprising a large multiporphyrin dendrimer in which a large number of porphyrins are arranged in a dendrimer are as follows: Absent.

  Thus, the multiporphyrin dendrimer compound of Formula 1, Formula 2 or Formula 3 that constructs the chiral sensing agent of the present invention forms a host-guest complex with a wide range of chiral molecules as guest molecules. Guest complex formation is detected as a clear signal in the circular dichroism spectrum, depending on the chirality of the chiral molecule.

  In order to carry out the chiral sensing method using the multiporphyrin dendrimer compound of formula 1, formula 2 or formula 3 according to the present invention, an atom capable of coordinating with the central metal of the porphyrin ring, specifically, a nitrogen atom, A guest compound is prepared by modifying both ends of a target chiral molecule with an atomic group containing a phosphorus atom, sulfur, or oxygen. That is, this guest compound can be represented by the following formula 4.

In Formula 4, CR ^* represents a residue of the target chiral molecule, L represents a nitrogen atom, a phosphorus atom,
It represents an atomic group containing sulfur or oxygen.

  As L (nitrogen atom, phosphorus atom, sulfur or oxygen-containing atomic group), various compounds can be applied, for example, pyridine, imidazole, histidine, triphenolphosphine, phenol, benzyl alcohol or sulfide. In this case, the guest compound of formula 4 will be used as a bipyridine derivative, a bisimidazole derivative, a bishistidine derivative, a bistriphenylphosphine derivative, a phenol derivative, a benzyl alcohol derivative, or a sulfide derivative, respectively. .

  Particularly preferred as L for reasons of synthesis and availability is pyridine. In this case, the guest compound of formula 4 (chiral guest compound) can be represented by formula 5 below.

The guest compound of Formula 5 is obtained by reacting the target chiral molecule (chiral compound) whose chirality is to be discriminated with, for example, isonicotinic acid (see Example 3 described later). Thus, CR ^* represents the residue of the chiral molecule thus obtained.

  Thus, according to the present invention, when the above guest compound is added to the multiporphyrin dendrimer compound as a solution in an appropriate solvent (for example, chloroform), the guest compound becomes a central metal of porphyrin via the pyridine rings at both ends. Coordinated and captured, resulting in a large signal change in the circular dichroism spectrum. In the multiporphyrin dendrimer compound used in the present invention, each porphyrin unit is present independently on the outer surface, and the distance from each other can be varied depending on the size of the dendrimer structure. There are few constraints on the size of the molecule (guest molecule). That is, by using this multiporphyrin dendrimer compound, chirality can be achieved for a wide range of chiral compounds (chiral molecules) ranging from low-molecular chiral compounds (amino acids, alcohols, etc.) to large chiral compounds such as oligopeptides and DNA. It becomes possible to discriminate.

  The compound used as a chiral sensing agent in the present invention is composed of a dendrimer structure in which a large number of porphyrin units such that n represents an integer of 1 to 10 in Formula 1, Formula 2 or Formula 3 spread three-dimensionally. However, a structure in which n is an integer of 1 to 3 is suitable for practical use.

Represent. Z represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a halogen atom, a cyano group, a linear or branched alkyl group, an ethylene glycol chain or an oligomer thereof, a polymer chain, a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted benzyl ether. Functional groups or atomic groups selected from the groups are possible, but practically preferred are hydrogen atoms, halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br, I), or substituted or unsubstituted benzyl ether groups, especially Preferred is a substituted or unsubstituted benzyl ether group.

  The multiporphyrin dendrimer compound represented by Formula 1, Formula 2 or Formula 3 can be synthesized by devising various known reactions. FIG. 1 outlines a general reaction scheme for synthesizing the dendrimer compound used in the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate the dendrimer compound described in Examples later as an example. The synthesis scheme is shown in more detail.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the multiporphyrin dendrimer compound used in the present invention generally has a reaction (1) (for example, an esterification reaction, an amidation reaction, an ether reaction) for increasing the generation of dendron from a porphyrin derivative, and a subsequent reaction. After repeating the deprotection reaction (2) to synthesize a structural unit containing a porphyrin ring, the structural unit is coupled to the core unit hexa (4-substituted phenyl) benzene (for example, ester reaction, amide It can synthesize | combine by using for reaction, ether reaction.

Represent. In addition, in FIG. 1, in order not to complicate the figure, a method for synthesizing a series of compounds of Formula 1 is not shown, but after reacting a porphyrin derivative with the following compound in the reaction (1) for increasing the generation, The compound of formula 1 can be synthesized through the same reaction steps as in the case of the compound of 2 or formula 3.

The multiporphyrin dendrimer compound thus obtained is excellent in visible absorption ability, for example, the molar extinction coefficient at 414 nm reaches a magnitude of 10 ⁶ to 10 ⁷ M ⁻¹ cm ⁻¹ , and the extinction coefficient is porphyrin. Increasingly proportional to the number of units. This is presumably because this dendrimer compound has a unique structure in which a large number of porphyrins are arranged in a wheel shape. In other words, in this multiporphyrin dendrimer compound, all porphyrin units are arranged in the same chemical and physical environment on the outer surface of the dendrimer structure, so that they are remarkably different from conventional linear porphyrin polymers. It is understood that it exhibits a huge light absorption area while suppressing and exhibiting the original properties of porphyrin, and its size can be easily controlled by the number of porphyrin units.

Evaluation of Physical Properties of Multiporphyrin Dendrimer Compound All the wheel-shaped multiporphyrin dendrimer compounds synthesized in Example 1 showed excellent solubility in ordinary organic solvents (for example, chloroform, methylene chloride, THF, etc.). In addition, because it has polybenzyl ether dendron on the outer surface, it has excellent film forming properties.
Next, from the measurement of ultraviolet / visible absorption spectrum and fluorescence emission spectrum, these multiporphyrin dendrimers have an absorption band position (FIG. 9) and a fluorescence band position (Table 1) even if the number of porphyrin units increases. I found it almost unchanged. On the other hand, it is clear that these compounds have a molar extinction coefficient that increases in proportion to the number of porphyrin units and have a huge light absorption cross section in the visible light region (Table 1). That is, the wheel-shaped multiporphyrin dendrimer compound of the present invention has a large number of porphyrin units, but there is almost no interaction between molecules in the ground state or photoexcited singlet state.

[Comparative Example 1]
The circular dichroism spectrum of the chiral guest in the chloroform solution of RR-Py2 and SS-Py2 was measured, and the result shown in FIG. 11 was obtained. As shown in FIG. 11, RR-Py2 and SS-Py2 have weak circular dichroism spectra opposite to each other in the ultraviolet part, but there is no signal in the visible part.

A chloroform solution of the chiral molecule RR-Py2 or SS-Py2 was dropped into a chloroform solution of the chiral sensing multiporphyrin dendrimer 24-PZn (0.26 μM), and the circular dichroism spectrum was measured to obtain FIG.
Compared to the single circular dichroism spectra of RRPy2 and SS-Py2 (Comparative Example 1, FIG. 11), the signal is shifted to the visible light region, and the intensity is amplified about 1000 times. RR-PY2 and SS-Py2 have opposite circular dichroism spectrum signals. Thus, by using the multiporphyrin dendrimer compound 24-PZn, a circular dichroism spectrum that varies depending on the configuration (RR or SS) of the chiral molecule (chiral compound) is shown, and the circular dichroism It can be seen that the spectral signal is greatly amplified.

Effect of Chiral Sensing Dendrimer on RR-Py2 Circular dichroism spectra were measured in the same manner as in Example 4 using 6-PZn, 12-PZn, 18-PZn and 36-PZn as multiporphyrin dendrimers, and the results were obtained. It is shown in FIG. 13 together with 24-PZn. The vertical axis | shaft of FIG. 13 shows the magnitude | size of a circular dichroism spectrum signal (CD signal). It is understood that by using the multiporphyrin dendrimer compound, the CD signal is amplified, and the chirality can be detected with high sensitivity.

Circular dichroism spectrum was measured in the same manner as in Example 4 using 24-PZn as the sensing multiporphyrin dendrimer of the amino acid derivative L-Leu-Py2 by 24-PZn. The results are shown in FIG. In the figure, the arrow indicates the case where 24-PZn is used, and the circular dichroism spectrum signal is higher than when 24-PZn is not used (spectrum curve not indicated by the arrow in the figure). It is understood that it is greatly amplified.

Sensing of the peptide chain Aib2-L-Leu-Aib2-Py2 with 24-PZn Using 24-PZn as a multiporphyrin dendrimer, a circular dichroism spectrum was measured in the same manner as in Example 4. The results are shown in FIG. In the figure, the arrow indicates the case where 24-PZn is used, and the circular dichroism spectrum signal is higher than when 24-PZn is not used (spectrum curve not indicated by the arrow in the figure). It is understood that the multiporphyrin dendrimer compound is also effective in detecting the chirality of a peptide having a large molecular size.
