We previously reported the synthesis of the metal-based fluorescent probes MBFh1 and MBFh2 for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) imaging, which release the red-emitting fluorophore resorufin, whose response rate is significantly faster than that of other nonmetal-based H2O2 probes, upon reacting with H2O2. In this study, we have synthesized the new fluorescent probe MBFh3 1 and its ester derivatives 2 and 3, in which a mononuclear nonheme iron(III)–monoamido complex and a 3′-O-methyldihydrofluorescein derivative are connected via a propane linker. Probes 2 and 3 are methyl and 1-(ethoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl ester derivatives of 1, respectively. These probes rapidly react with H2O2 to release green-emitting 3′-O-methylfluoresceins. Fluorescent microscopy studies using HeLa and A431 cells showed that intracellular H2O2 can be visualized using probes 1 and 2, but not 3.
我们以前曾报道过用于过氧化氢(H2O2)成像的金属基荧光探针 MBFh1 和 MBFh2 的合成,它们与 H2O2 反应后释放出红色发光荧光团 resorufin,其响应速度明显快于其他非金属基 H2O2 探针。在这项研究中,我们合成了新的荧光探针 MBFh3 1 及其酯衍生物 2 和 3,其中单核非血红素铁(III)-单氨基配合物和 3′-O-甲基二氢荧光素衍生物通过丙烷连接。探针 2 和 3 分别是 1 的甲基和 1-(乙氧基羰基氧基)乙基酯衍生物。这些探针能迅速与 H2O2 反应,释放出绿色发光的 3′-O-甲基荧光素。使用 HeLa 和 A431 细胞进行的荧光显微镜研究表明,使用探针 1 和 2 可以观察到细胞内的 H2O2,而使用探针 3 则不能。
