TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of fluorescent dye, and particularly relates to a fluorescent dye with viscosity responsiveness and low background fluorescence, as well as a preparation method and uses thereof.


BACKGROUND

Chromophores of fluorescent proteins are mainly imidazolinone dye, which has good biocompatibility, and is also advantageous in photostability and adjustable fluorescence properties. According to research findings, this kind of dye is a molecular rotor, and its fluorescence property changes with viscosity variation, namely, when excited by light, free-state molecular rotors release excited-state energy in a non-radiation form by means of excited-state intra-molecular twist; and, when the molecules are in a relatively viscous or rigid environment, the excited-state intra-molecular twist is limited, and the excited-state energy is mainly released in a form of radio-luminescence and shows the property of fluorescence enhancement. Therefore, molecular rotors are often used for detecting changes in micro-environments, etc.


At present, intra-molecular twist and luminescence based on restricted molecular rotors are not only used for viscosity detection, but also are widely used in the construction of fluorescent sensors, protein labeling, nucleic acid labeling, etc.; for instance: after DCVJ binds to BSA and other proteins, the excited-state intra-molecular twist of the molecular rotors is restricted, and the excited-state energy is released in a form of radio-luminescence and is manifested as fluorescence activation, and thus can be used for the detection and quantification of target proteins; after imidazolinone and other dyes bind to DNA and RNA, molecular conformation is restricted so that fluorescence is illuminated, and thus can be used for the no-clean labeling and detection of DNA and RNA; with DHBI as the target molecule, aptamer that can specifically bind to DHBI can be obtained through SELEX screening, thereby constructing the fluorescent aptamer, overcoming the difficulty of lacking natural fluorescent RNA and making it possible to construct fluorescent RNA; with peacock green as the target molecule, a single-chain antibody that can specifically bind to peacock green derivatives and activate fluorescence is obtained by means of phage display, and can be used for labeling of cell membrane proteins; BODIPY and other molecular rotors can bind to amyloid and tua proteins and light up fluorescence, and thus can be used for researches of diseases such as Alzheimers and Parkinson's.


The types of imidazolinone molecular rotors completely derived from fluorescent protein chromophores are quite limited. Thanks to modification by means of organic synthesis, the spectral range of imidazolinone is significantly expanded, and other properties, such as light stability, oil-water distribution coefficient, etc. can be effective adjusted. However, molecular rotors obtained by this method generally have the disadvantage of high fluorescence background, which causes low detection signal-to-noise ratio and makes it difficult to detect and label samples with small sample sizes, complex components and low substrate abundance, so it is necessary to develop a kind of imidazolinone molecular rotors with low background fluorescence, so as to further expand uses of such molecular rotors.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to provide a fluorescent dye with viscosity responsiveness and low background fluorescence, wherein the viscosity responsiveness of this kind of molecular rotors is that a ratio of fluorescence intensity in glycerol to that in methanol is greater than 10 at a condition of 10−5 mol.


For one aspect, the present invention provides a fluorescent dye, which is shown as Formula (I),

Test Example 2

Molecular rotors IV-1, IV-2, IV-3, IV-4, IV-5, IV-6, IV-17, IV-18, IV-19, IV-20, IV-21, IV-22 were added to a diethanol-glycerol mixed solution to prepare a solution with a final concentration of 1×10−5 M, wherein the solution was excited at 480 nm, fluorescence emission spectra at different viscosity conditions are shown as FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and molecular rotors of the same concentration have gradually increasing fluorescence intensity at different viscosity conditions, indicating that the fluorescence intensity of molecular rotors increases following the increasing fluorescence of environmental viscosity, and proving that molecular rotors are sensitive to viscosity and are a kinds of molecular rotors.


Test Example 3

Molecular rotors (IV-39, IV-40, IV-44 and IV-1, IV-2, IV-3, IV-4, IV-5, IV-6, IV-7, IV-8; IV-41, IV-43 and IV-17, IV-18, IV-19, IV-20, IV-21, IV-22; IV-42 and IV-36; IV-45, IV-46 and IV-3; IV-47, IV-48 and IV-20; IV-49, IV-50 and IV-5; IV-51 and IV-1) were dissolved in DMSO to prepare mother liquor of 1×10−3 M, wherein the afore-mentioned mother liquor was respectively taken and added to a PBS solution to prepare a solution with a final concentration of 1×10−6 M, and was respectively excited by the maximum excitation wavelength of each compound, so that fluorescent intensities thereof in PBS were detected and each sample was normalized with the strongest fluorescence in each group as 100, as respectively shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 14, FIG. 15, FIG. 16, FIG. 17, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19. According to the results shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, relative to the molecular rotors with no substitution on the aromatic ring of the electron-withdrawing group, molecular rotors with hydroxyl radical, cyano group, fluorine atom, chlorine atom, bromine atom, iodine atom substitutions on the aromatic ring of the electron-withdrawing group in the present disclosure have lower background fluorescence; according to the results shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, relative to the molecular rotors with multiple substitutions on the aromatic ring of the electron-withdrawing group, molecular rotors with single substitution have relatively lower background fluorescence, and it may be that the electron cloud distribution of the aromatic structure on the electron-withdrawing group is changed by the multiple substitutions, which causes an increase in the fluorescence background; according to the results shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, the background fluorescence is even lower when simple alkyl substitution occurs at R1, and it may be caused by relatively large volume of R1 or weak interaction between heteroatoms (e.g. oxygen atoms, nitrogen atoms) on modified alkyl group and the aromatic ring on the electron-withdrawing group, as a result, non-radioactive energy dissipation motion such as double bond rotation is inhibited and the fluorescence background of the compound is thus increased.
