AbstractA series of six new isoquinol‐based BODIPY dyes have been synthesized by a two‐step method. Unlike traditional synthetic methods, synthesis did not require the use of oxidizing agents or solvent. Spectroscopic, electrochemical and DFT calculations indicate that the properties associated with the six dyes are very similar with little influence of the meso‐substituents. Viscosity studies identified three of the new dyes having properties of molecular rotors for applications in the detection of changes in cellular viscosity. Incubation of the dyes with the HEK cell line show no toxicity up to 10 μM over a 72 h. period. The dyes show the ability to localize within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of cells. With two of the dyes showing favorable comparisons to commercially available ER dyes.
摘要 采用两步法合成了一系列六种新的异喹啉基 BODIPY 染料。与传统合成方法不同,该方法无需使用氧化剂或溶剂。光谱、电化学和 DFT 计算表明,六种染料的相关特性非常相似,中间取代基的影响很小。粘度研究发现,其中三种新染料具有分子转子的特性,可用于检测细胞粘度的变化。将这些染料与 HEK 细胞系一起培养 72 小时,结果表明在 10 μM 以下无毒性。染料显示出在细胞内质网(ER)中定位的能力。其中两种染料与市售的ER染料相比表现良好。
