Abstract
In this study, a new “AND” logic platform based on intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is developed for constructing a near-infrared dual-locked fluorescence probe with high resistance to pH in biological environments. Using esterase and glutathione (GSH) as representative activators, the developed dual-locked probe BBQ650-SS-ClHC-E discriminates cancer cells from normal cells. The esterase substrate in the probe blocks the ICT process, while the GSH substrate acts as a linker to connect the fluorescence part with the quencher part to induce the FRET process. The fluorescence activation at 732 nm operates as an “AND” logic that depends on the “ICT-on” and “FRET-off” states in the presence of both esterase and GSH. BBQ650-SS-ClHC-E can successfully discriminate HeLa, 4T1, and RAW264.7 cancer cells from HFL1 normal cells and 4T1 tumor-bearing cells in living mice. This new platform can be used to develop dual-locked fluorescence probes.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
