Rules for the Design of Highly Fluorescent Nucleoside Probes: 8-(Substituted Cinnamyl)-Adenosine Analogues
摘要:
Currently, there are no tools that can help the design of useful fluorescent analogues. Hence, we synthesized a series of 8-(substituted cinnamy1)-adenosine analogues, 5-17, and established a relationship between their structure and fluorescence properties. We attempted to find a correlation between maximum emission wavelengths (lambda(em)) of 5-17 or their quantum yields (phi), and Hammett constants (sigma(p) and sigma(m)) of the substituent on the cinnamyl moiety. A linear correlation was observed at low-medium sigma values, but not at high a values (>= 0.7). Next, we explored correlation between lambda(em) and phi of 5-17 and computed HOMO and LUMO energy levels of fragments of 5-17, i.e., 8-vinyl 9-Me-adenine (fluorescent molecule), 18, and substituted toluene rings (fluoresence modulators), 19-30. High phi correlated with relatively close LUMO levels of 19-30 and 18 (-0.076 to 0.003 eV). The electron density of LUMO of nitro analogues 9 and 15 is localized on the aryl ring only, which explains their low phi. Calculation of HOMO LUMO gap of 5-17 enables accurate prediction of the lambda(abs) for a planned analogue, and LUMO levels of an aryl moiety vs 8-vinyl 9-Me-adenine, allows the prediction of high or low phi. These findings lay the ground for prediction of fluorescence properties of additional analogues having a similar structure.
