Red Light Triggered Fluorogenic Reaction with Picomolar Sensitivity Towards Nucleic Acids.
Bioconjugate Chemistry 2019 June 14
We have previously reported on a red light-triggered, singlet oxygen-mediated fluorogenic reaction that is templated in a highly sequence specific fashion by nucleic acids (S. Dutta, A. Fulop, A. Mokhir, Bioconj. Chem. 2013, 24(9), 1533-1542). Up to date it has remained a single templated reaction responsive to non-toxic >650 nm light. However, it is operative only in the presence of relatively high (> 2 nM) concentrations of templates that dramatically limits its applicability in nucleic acid detection. In the current work we established that an inefficient intermolecular electron transfer involved in reduction of the 1,4-endoperoxide intermediate, formed in the rate-limiting reaction step, is responsible for inhibition of the reaction at low reagent concentrations. We suggested the solution of the problem including combination of a cleavable (9-alkoxyanthracene) moiety with a two-electron donating fragment in one molecule that enables the efficient intramolecular electron transfer to the endoperoxide intermediate in the critical reaction step. Due to the intramolecular character of the latter process, it is practically independent upon concentration of the reagents. The reaction based on the improved cleavable moiety was found to be >200-fold more sensitive than the previously reported one. It is fast, sequence specific and compatible with live cells. Accounting for short reactions times (< 30 min), nontoxic trigger (red light), excellent sensitivity and sequence specificity, this is the best reported up to data photochemical templated reaction compatible with live cells.
