Fluorescent Probes for the Selective Detection of Cysteine in Water
Abstract:
Two novel fluorescent chemodosimeters will be presented for the selective detection of cysteine over homocysteine and glutathione in aqueous solvent. First, a rhodamine-based fluorescent probe (1) will be reported. Masked with a para-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA) unit, probe 1 initially showed a weak fluorescence but displayed a strong fluorescence through a series of reactions of Michael addition and intramolecular cyclization of cysteine, followed by deprotection of HBA. The caged probe (1) exhibited a selective and sensitive response toward cysteine over homocysteine and glutathione in HEPES buffer. Secondly, a fluorescein-based fluorescent probe will be discussed. A bromoacetyl functionalized fluorescein chemodosimeter (2) was utilized as a fluorescent probe for cysteine. The probe showed a selective and sensitive response to cysteine over homocysteine and glutathione in aqueous buffer through a rapid cyclization reaction. When cysteine was added, a fast fluorescence turn-on change of 2 was observed and applied to the in-vivo imaging of cysteine.
