Postsynthetic Derivatization of Fluorophores with α-Sulfo-β-alanine Dipeptide Linker. Application to the Preparation of Water-Soluble Cyanine and Rhodamine Dyes

Abstract: A straightforward method to enhance water solubility of fluorescent organic dyes (cyanines and rhodamines) by a postsynthetic chemical derivatization of their carboxylic acid functionality with an original disulfonated heterobifunctional linker is described. Significant water solubility enhancement is achieved without compromising either the photophysical properties (especially large molar extinction coefficients and high quantum yields) or bioconjugation efficiency of the parent non-water-soluble fluorophores… Show more

“…[17] Compounds 7-H,SO 3 H,Y are readily available by sulfonation of the corresponding precursors 7-H,H,Y (Y = H, CO 2 Et), which, in turn, can be easily synthesized from phenol 5-H,TBDMS [18] (Scheme 4; TBDMS = tert-butyldimethylsilyl). The appropriate protecting groups should be compatible with the conditions of the diazoketone synthesis.…”

“…The appropriate protecting groups should be compatible with the conditions of the diazoketone synthesis. [17] First, the sterically hindered free carboxyl group CO 2 R (R= H) in compound 7-R,X,Y was protected as an allyl (All) ester, then the sulfonic acid residues were alkylated with Meerwein salt [triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate (Et 3 OBF 4 )] in the presence of a base. Another challenge was to provide additional protection for at least one of the two different carboxyl groups in the presence of the sulfonic acid residue(s) in such a way that these reaction centers may be addressed independently and in a certain reaction sequence.…”

“…Benzoindole pentamethine cyanine dyes have been extensively applied in the fields of biomacromolecule fluorescent labeling, [1][2][3] nonlinear optical materials 4 and optical disc storage, [5][6] due to their stability and excellent spectral properties, including large molar extinction coefficients, broad wavelength tunability, and particularly their high near-infrared (NIR) absorption and emission wavelengths.…”

“…F d (" v) describes the emission intensity of the donor and e(" v) the extinction coefficient of the acceptor at the wavenumber " v. Taking the refractive index in the sol-gel film to be 1.45 [34] and the extinction coefficient for Texas Red at its maximum absorption as 85 000 m À1 cm À1 , [35] then the Fçrster distance for energy transfer in the sol-gel film from Equation (1) is 60.3 . In water, the value obtained for R o is 61.5 .…”
