Abstract

The tetramethylrhodamine (TMR) fluorophore is a useful platform for fluorescence probes, being applicable, for example, to biological investigations utilizing fluorescence microscopy, owing to its excellent photochemical properties in aqueous media. We have developed new TMR derivatives that show different dependences of their behavior upon the environment. Among them, HMTMR showed unique characteristics, and its putative spirocyclic structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Utilizing this discovery, we have established a strategy to modulate the fluorescence of TMR by regulating the spirocyclization, and we have obtained a new fluorescence probe that can detect hypochlorous acid specifically. This probe, HySOx, can work in 99.9% aqueous solution at pH 7.4 and was confirmed to be able to detect hypochlorous acid being generated inside phagosomes in real time. HySOx is tolerant to autoxidation and photobleaching under bioimaging conditions. Regulation of the spirocyclization of rhodamines, as we describe here, provides a new approach to the rational development of novel fluorescence probes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
