New red-shifted coelenterazine analogues with an extended electronic conjugation
摘要:
A new promising approach to the development of red-shifted coelenterazine analogues was described. In order to alter the photochemical properties of native coelenterazine, we have designed and synthesized analogues bearing a new electron-rich structure. The spectroscopic results obtained, in the presence of the target enzyme (Renilla Luciferase), show a bathochromic emission shift of the entire class of new derivatives. Among them, the 2-benzyl-8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-6-(4-hydroxyphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-one (8) shows an emission at 510 nm and uncommon slow kinetic decay. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

An efficient method for the preparation of 7-aryl-6,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyrazines (3) under mild conditions has been developed. The reaction of aryl(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)methanones (1), derived from commercially available 2-chloropyrazine, with methylenetriphenylphosphorane in THF at room temperature gave the corresponding 2-(1-arylethenyl)-3-chloropyrazines (2), which were treated with NaSH center dot nH(2)O in DMF at room temperature to lead to the desired products (3) in acceptable yields. These products are dehydrogenated with air in refluxing toluene in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd/C to yield the corresponding 7-arylthieno [2,3-b]pyrazines (4).
