These chromophores and especially their corresponding BF2-chelated 20 derivatives BODIPY and aza-BODIPY, respectively, are well known for fluorescence-based applications 20 but are relatively new in the photovoltaic research field.

  • Real-Time Monitoring of Newly Acidified Organelles During Autophagy Enabled by Reaction-Based BODIPY Dyes
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-019-0682-1 OPEN Real-time monitoring of newly acidified organelles during autophagy enabled by reaction-based BODIPY dyes Hanzhuang Liu 1,5, Wenting Song 1,5, Delia Gröninger2, Lei Zhang3, Yinghong Lu3, Kin Shing Chan 1,4, 1234567890():,; Zhikuan Zhou1, Knut Rurack 2* & Zhen Shen 1* Real-time monitoring of newly acidified organelles during autophagy in living cells is highly desirable for a better understanding of intracellular degradative processes. Herein, we describe a reaction-based boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dye containing strongly electron- withdrawing diethyl 2-cyanoacrylate groups at the α-positions. The probe exhibits intense red fluorescence in acidic organelles or the acidified cytosol while exhibiting negligible fluores- cence in other regions of the cell. The underlying mechanism is a nucleophilic reaction at the central meso-carbon of the indacene core, resulting in the loss of π-conjugation entailed by dramatic spectroscopic changes of more than 200 nm between its colorless, non-fluorescent leuco-BODIPY form and its red and brightly emitting form. The reversible transformation between red fluorescent BODIPY and leuco-BODIPY along with negligible cytotoxicity qua- lifies such dyes for rapid and direct intracellular lysosome imaging and cytosolic acidosis detection simultaneously without any washing step, enabling the real-time monitoring of newly acidified organelles during autophagy. 1 State Key Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210046, China. 2 Chemical and Optical Sensing Division, Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), Richard-Willstätter-Str. 11, 12489 Berlin, Germany. 3 School of Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 225600, China.

Published: 14 November 2019 Abstract: Herein, we describe the synthetic route to access a red-emitting BODIPY from its α- diformylated precursor. The photophysical signatures of this dye are sensitive to the presence of thiol-containing amino acids (like cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione) in the surrounding environment. This sensor provides up to three detection channels to monitor and quantify these biomolecules, even at low concentrations (down to micromolar). Moreover, owing to the pronounced splitting of the spectral band profile induced by these amino acids, the detection can be visualized following just the evolution of the fluorescence color by the naked eye. Keywords: dye chemistry; fluorescent sensors; BODIPY; amino acids; Wittig reaction 1. Introduction The molecular design of fluorescent sensors to monitor and quantify the presence of biomolecules in physiological media is actually a hot research topic, owing to the key role of some of these biomolecules in biochemical events and diseases [1,2].

Each compound prepared consisted of one BODIPY fluorophore and one, two or three mesogenic units based primarily on a cyanobiphenyl core. Initially, the mesogens were attached to the pyrrolic positions of the fluorophore, but it was found that mesogen attachment at the BODIPY 8- phenyl ring gave an increased preference for mesophase formation due to the molecules having a more ‗rod-like‘ (calamitic) shape. For several of the compounds, a monotropic nematic phase was exhibited, however, no layered phase (e.g.

Abstract: As the most abundant protein with a variety of physiological functions, human serum albumin (HSA) has been used extensively for the delivery and improvement of therapeutic mole- cules. Thiolactone chemistry provides a powerful tool to prepare albumin-based multimodal imag- ing probes and agents for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). For this purpose, boron contain- ing 4,4-Difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) dye was designed and synthesized. BOD- IPY dyes are photostable neutral derivatives of 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene. These are widely used as chemosensors, laser materials and molecular probes. At the same time, BODIPY dyes, like most other fluorophores, have small or moderate Stokes shifts. Large Stokes shifts are preferred for fluorophores because of higher sensitivity of such probes and sensors. We succeeded in performing an annulation of pyrrole ring with coumarin heterocyclic system and achieved a re- markable difference in absorption and emission maximum of obtained fluorophore up to 100 nm.
