We present here a detailed photophysical study of a recently synthesised fluorophore 8-methyl-8,9-dihydro-5H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-b]carbazol-6(7H)-one. This is a synthetic precursor of bio-active carbazole skeleton Clausenalene. Spectroscopic investigation of the fluorophore has been carried out in different protic and aprotic solvents, as well as in binary solvent mixtures, using absorption, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques. This fluorophore is particularly responsive to the hydrogen bonding nature as well as polarity of the solvent molecules. When considered in micelles and β-cyclodextrin, this behaves as a reporter of its immediate microenvironment. Steady state and time resolved fluorometric and circular dichroism techniques have been used to explore the binding interaction of the fluorophore with transport proteins, bovine serum albumin and human serum albumin. The probable binding sites of the fluorophore in the proteinous environments have been evaluated from fluorescence resonance energy transfer study. Laser flash photolysis experiments also have been performed to observe the triplet excited state interaction between the fluorophore and albumin proteins.
我们在此对最近合成的荧光团8-甲基-8,9-二氢-5H-[1,3]二氧杂环戊烯并[4,5-b]咔唑-6(7H)-酮进行详细的光物理研究。这是生物活性咔唑骨架克劳森烯的合成前体。我们使用吸收、稳态和时分辨荧光技术,在不同的亲核和非亲核溶剂以及二元溶剂混合物中对荧光团进行了光谱研究。这种荧光团对溶剂分子的氢键性质和极性特别敏感。当考虑在胶束和β-环糊精中时,它就像其直接微环境的报告器。稳态和时分辨荧光和圆二色性技术已被用于探索荧光团与转运蛋白、牛血清白蛋白和人类血清白蛋白的结合相互作用。通过荧光共振能量转移研究,评估了荧光团在蛋白质环境中的可能结合位点。我们还进行了激光闪光光解实验,以观察荧光团和白蛋白之间的三重态激发态相互作用。
