Asymmetric AZA-BODIPY with Optical Gain in the Near-Infrared Region.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in the development of organic compounds emitting in the near-infrared (NIR) region due to their stimulating applications, such as biosensing and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). Moreover, a lot of effort has been devoted to finding organic emitters with optical gain in the NIR region for lasing applications. In this paper, we present the ultrafast spectroscopy of an asymmetric AZA-BODIPY molecule that shows relevant photophysical changes moving from a diluted solution to a concentrated solution and to a spin-coated film. The diluted solution and the spin-coated film show a bleaching band and a stimulated emission band in the visible region, while the very concentrated solution displays a broad (150 nm) and long-living (more than 400 ps) optical gain band in the NIR region, centered at 900 nm. Our results pave the way for a new organic laser system in a near-infrared spectral region.

Effect of Short PEG on Near-Infrared BODIPY-Based Activatable Optical Probes.

Project description:Targeted near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probes are playing a significant role in biomedical imaging because NIR penetrates deeper into tissues and is associated with reduced autofluorescence compared to visible light fluorescence probes. Long-wavelength emitting 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) is an attractive platform for synthesizing NIR fluorophores because of its high photostability, high molar absorption coefficient, and sharp absorption and emission spectra. However, its lipophilicity hampers the conjugation chemistry necessary to add targeting moieties. In this study, we synthesized a novel NIR BODIPY derivative, NMP14. Substitutions of ethylene-bridged pyrrole units at the 3- or 5-position of the parent BODIPY chromophore result in a red shift of more than 200 nm. However, NMP14 cannot be conjugated to antibodies because of its hydrophobicity. Therefore, we synthesized NMP13 by adding short poly(ethylene glycol) to NMP14 and successfully conjugated NMP13 to cetuximab and trastuzumab. In vitro microscopic studies showed that NMP13 conjugated antibodies were activated after internalization and lysosomal processing, which means that NMP13 acts as an activatable probe only turning on after cellular internalization. After the administration of NMP13 conjugated antibodies, mice tumors were detected with high tumor to background ratios for a long period. These results suggest that NMP13 has potential as an activatable fluorescence probe for further clinical applications.

Solid-state emissive O-BODIPY dyes with bimodal emissions across red and near infrared region.

Project description:Fluorescent compounds with solid-state emission are expected to have broad applications in the development of optoelectronic devices. In this study, we develop O-BODIPY based fluorescent dyes which exhibit strong bimodal solid-state emissions across red and NIR regions. After one pot synthesis, samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis absorption, and fluorescence spectra. All the experimental data reveal the multiple excitation and efficient emission features in the aggregation states. Furthermore, the two produced probes can be successfully applied for tracking lysosomes in HeLa cells with low cytotoxicity.

Self-Assembled BODIPY Nanoparticles for Near-Infrared Fluorescence Bioimaging.

Project description:In vivo optical imaging is an important application value in disease diagnosis. However, near-infrared nanoprobes with excellent luminescent properties are still scarce. Herein, two boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) molecules (BDP-A and BDP-B) were designed and synthesized. The BODIPY emission was tuned to the near-infrared (NIR) region by regulating the electron-donating ability of the substituents on its core structure. In addition, the introduction of polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains on BODIPY enabled the formation of self-assembled nanoparticles (NPs) to form optical nanoprobes. The self-assembled BODIPY NPs present several advantages, including NIR emission, large Stokes shifts, and high fluorescence quantum efficiency, which can increase water dispersibility and signal-to-noise ratio to decrease the interference by the biological background fluorescence. The in vitro studies revealed that these NPs can enter tumor cells and illuminate the cytoplasm through fluorescence imaging. Then, BDP-B NPs were selected for use in vivo imaging due to their unique NIR emission. BDP-B was enriched in the tumor and effectively illuminated it via an enhanced penetrability and retention effect (EPR) after being injected into the tail vein of mice. The organic nanoparticles were metabolized through the liver and kidney. Thus, the BODIPY-based nanomicelles with NIR fluorescence emission provide an effective research basis for the development of optical nanoprobes in vivo.

A Straightforward Substitution Strategy to Tune BODIPY Dyes Spanning the Near-Infrared Region via Suzuki⁻Miyaura Cross-Coupling.

Project description:In this study, a series of new red and near-infrared (NIR) dyes derived from 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) were developed by introducing thiophene and its derivatives to the 3- and 5- positions of the dichloroBODIPY core. For the first time, cyclictriol boronates and N-methyliminodiacetic acid (MIDA) boronate were used as organoboron species to couple with 3,5-dichloroBODIPY via the one-step Suzuki⁻Miyaura cross-coupling. Six kinds of thieno-expended BODIPY dyes were synthesized in acceptable yields ranging from 31% to 79%. All six dyes showed different absorption and emission wavelengths spanning a wide range (c.a. 600⁻850 nm) in the red and NIR regions with relatively high quantum yields (19⁻85%). Cellular imaging of 8-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-re3,5-di(2-thienyl)-BODIPY (dye 1) was conducted using bovine cumulus cells, and the fluorescence microscopy images indicated that the chromophore efficiently accumulated and was exclusively localized in the cytoplasm, suggesting it could be utilized as a subcellular probe. All six dyes were characterized using 1H-NMR and mass spectrometry.

Optical ammonia sensors based on fluorescent aza-BODIPY dyes- a flexible toolbox.

Project description:We present three types of optical ammonia sensors suitable for environmental, bioprocess, and reaction monitoring. A respective fluorescent BF2-chelated tetraarylazadipyrromethene dye (aza-BODIPYs) is physically entrapped in a polyurethane hydrogel (HydroMed D4) forming an emulsion system with vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The analyte-sensitive layer is covered by a hydrophobic membrane which excludes hydrophilic substances. Three different protection layers are tested, whereby the Teflon and the hydrophobic PES layers outperform a PDMS/TiO2 layer. Response times within their dynamic range of 15 s can be achieved, whereas the PDMS/TiO2-covered sensor requires at least 390 s. The three sensors entail the following concentration areas: first sensor 3 μg L-1-3 mg L-1 (LOD 0.23 μg L-1), second sensor 0.1-30 mg L-1 (LOD 28 μg L-1), and third sensor 3 mg L-1-1 g L-1 (LOD 0.51 mg L-1). Readout is performed with a commercially available phase fluorimeter combined with optical fibers. Dual-lifetime referencing (DLR) is used as referencing method and Egyptian blue acts as an inert reference material. No cross-sensitivity to pH changes can be detected.

Acid-Triggered Switchable Near-Infrared/Shortwave Infrared Absorption and Emission of Indolizine-BODIPY Dyes.

Project description:Fluorescent organic dyes that absorb and emit in the near-infrared (NIR, 700-1000 nm) and shortwave infrared (SWIR, 1000-1700 nm) regions have the potential to produce noninvasive high-contrast biological images and videos. BODIPY dyes are well known for their high quantum yields in the visible energy region. To tune these chromophores to the NIR region, fused nitrogen-based heterocyclic indolizine donors were added to a BODIPY scaffold. The indolizine BODIPY dyes were synthesized via microwave-assisted Knoevenagel condensation with indolizine aldehydes. The non-protonated dyes showed NIR absorption and emission at longer wavelengths than an aniline benchmark. Protonation of the dyes produced a dramatic 0.35 eV bathochromic shift (230 nm shift from 797 nm to 1027 nm) to give a SWIR absorption and emission (λmaxemis = 1061 nm). Deprotonation demonstrates that material emission is reversibly switchable between the NIR and SWIR.

Near-Infrared Bodipy-Based Molecular Rotors for β-Amyloid Imaging In Vivo.

Project description:β-amyloid (Aβ) is one of the important biomarkers for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Many near-infrared probes based on the donor-π-acceptor structure have been developed to detect Aβ. Most reported Aβ probes are based on the N,N-dimethylamino group as the ideal donor, which is a widely accepted binding unit. As such, the development of fluorescent probes with improved binding units to detect Aβ is urgently required. Therefore, with this research three anchoring molecular rotor electron donors consisting of cyclic amines of different ring sizes are developed, namely five-membered ring (TPyr), six-membered ring (TPip), and seven-membered ring (THAI). These new anchored molecular rotors are connected to a 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) and named TPyrBDP, TPipBDP, and THAIBDP. These probes exhibit high affinities (from 28 to 54 nm) for Aβ1-42 aggregates. The six-membered ring dye TPipBDP exhibits the highest signal-to-noise (75.5-fold) and higher affinity (28.30 ± 5.94 nm). TPipBDP can cross the blood-brain barrier and exhibits higher fluorescence enhancement with APP/PS1 (AD) double transgenic (Tg) mice than with wild-type (WT) mice.

Aza-BODIPY dyes with enhanced hydrophilicity.

Project description:Attempts to make a diamino disulfonic acid derivative of an aza-BODIPY showed it was difficult to add BF2 to a disulfonated azadipyrromethene, and sulfonation of an aza-BODIPY resulted in loss of the BF2 fragment. We conclude the electron-deficient character of aza-BODIPY dyes destabilizes them relative to BODIPY dyes. Consequently, sulfonation of the aza-BODIPY core is not a viable strategy to increase water solubility. This assertion was indirectly supported via stability studies of a BODIPY and an aza-BODIPY in aqueous media. To afford the desired compound type, an aza-BODIPY with two amino and two sulfonic acid groups was prepared via modification of the aryl substituents with cysteic acid.

Deciphering the intersystem crossing in near-infrared BODIPY photosensitizers for highly efficient photodynamic therapy.

Project description:Deciphering singlet-to-triplet intersystem crossing (ISC) in organic near-infrared photosensitizers (PSs) is of fundamental importance in the designing of high-performance PSs to boost the clinical usage of photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, in-depth investigations of the ISC dynamics in near-infrared PSs have not been performed to date. Here, systematical investigations of the ISC dynamics in organic near-infrared BODIPY derivatives are presented, in which a multi-channel yet remarkably efficient ISC process is revealed by ultrafast femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy and theoretical calculation. The fs-TA verifies an exceptionally enhanced ISC efficiency (Φ ISC = 91%) in iodine-substituted BODIPY (2I-BDP) which is further supported by the calculation results. This endows 2I-BDP with an ultrahigh singlet oxygen quantum yield (Φ Δ = 88%), thus enabling a proof-of-concept application of highly efficient PDT in vivo under ultralow near-infrared light power density (10 mW cm-2). The in-depth understanding of ISC dynamics in organic near-infrared materials may provide valuable guidance in the designing of novel organic theranostic materials for clinical cancer treatment.
