Abstract
Copper is an essential redox-active metal nutrient, with tightly regulated homeostasis. Copper homeostasis is closely linked to various diseases, making it a critical area of study. Fluorescent probes serve as powerful tools for investigating these conditions. In this study, a fluorescent probe, Con-Cu400 for detecting Cu2+ was developed. Con-Cu400 exhibited a strong "turn-on" fluorescence signal in response to Cu2+, demonstrating high selectivity and sensitivity. Con-Cu400 also exhibited good biocompatibility and was successfully employed for fluorescence sensing of Cu2+ in both cellular and mouse models under conditions of normal, copper-depleted, and copper-overloaded. This probe effectively detected elevated Cu2+ levels in the livers of mice with Wilson's disease. This work may contribute to the broader application of fluorescent probes in studying Cu2+ dysregulation-related diseases in cellular and animal models.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry.
For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature.
The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
