研究目的
Investigating the tuning of photoinduced electron transfer efficiency in fluorogenic BODIPY-α-tocopherol analogues to enhance the sensitivity of ROS monitoring in lipid membranes.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that substituent choice and linker length significantly affect PeT efficiency in fluorogenic BODIPY-α-tocopherol analogues, enabling the design of probes with enhanced sensitivity for monitoring ROS in lipid membranes. The work provides a framework for optimizing fluorogenic probes based on PeT, highlighting the importance of redox potentials and distance between donor and acceptor segments.
研究不足
The study's limitations include the reactivity of BODIPY tocopherol constructs with traces of impurities in the solvent, which may oxidize the antioxidant segment of the probes, deactivating PeT and thus giving an artificially high quantum yield for the reduced species. Additionally, the search for red-emissive probes well suited for live cell imaging presents new challenges due to the change in ΔE0,0 that translates into a drop in PeT exergonic character.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
The study utilized DFT and electrochemical studies to estimate the thermodynamic driving force of PeT in BODIPY-chromanol constructs. The methodology involved synthesizing a series of BODIPY-chromanol compounds with varying substituents and linker lengths to study their effect on PeT efficiency.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Samples included newly prepared and previously reported fluorogenic BODIPY-chromanol constructs. Data were sourced from absorption and emission spectra, cyclic voltammograms, and fluorescence lifetime measurements.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Equipment included a Hitachi U-2800 UV?vis?NIR spectrophotometer, PTI QuantaMaster spectrofluorimeter, Varian VNMRS 500 or Bruker AVIIIHD 500 NMR instruments, Bruker maXis impact mass spectrometer, CHI760C potentiostat, and Picoquant Fluotime 200 Time Correlated Single Photon Counting setup. Materials included 8-Acetoxymethyl-2,6-diethyl-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-pyrromethene fluoroborate (PM605), HPLC grade solvents, and other chemicals from Sigma-Aldrich.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
The synthesis involved condensation and coupling reactions to prepare BODIPY-chromanol constructs. Photophysical and electrochemical parameters were measured for these constructs. Oxidation of probes with peroxyl radicals was monitored over time until fluorescence intensity reached a maximum plateau.
5:Data Analysis Methods
Data analysis involved calculating fluorescence quantum yields, lifetimes, and rate constants for PeT. DFT calculations were used to predict and visualize PeT between chromanol and BODIPY moieties.
