Selective detection of human serum albumin by near infrared emissive fluorophores: Insights into structure-property relationship
2019, Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A: ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Several far-red and NIR emitting fluorophores have been reported in literature. Although each fluorophore has some distinct merits over another, some of the common demerits of NIR fluorophores are, poor aqueous solubility, aggregation-caused quenching, marginal output signal, and insufficient detection limit [26–28]. Above all the most frequently encountered demerit is lack of selectivity of the fluorophores for HSA [11,20].
Amino sulfonic acids, peptidosulfonamides and other related compounds
2018, TetrahedronCitation Excerpt :In the above examples, the ASA residues were introduced into the molecular probes either as parts of the linkers or as the water-solubilizing side chains. In fact, many other works described design of dyes or sensors with improved aqueous solubility by introducing fragments of ASA.556–568 An alternative use of the ASA was demonstrated for the cysteic acid residue in the molecule of photoreactive α-amino acid 834 (Fig. 66).569
Modification of D-π-A chromophore for the improvement of solubility in water
2015, Materials LettersCitation Excerpt :As more and more D-π-A molecules are designed and prepared, the application of this kind of functional molecules in single molecule level has attracted the researchers' attention. Recently, the application of D-π-A molecules in viscosity dependent fluorescence, strong solvatochromism, significant ground state dipole moment, second harmonic generation imaging, molecular probe and fluorescence imaging has been reported as a new direction [6–10]. Compared with the traditional application of D-π-A molecules in optoelectronic devices, the largest difference is the requirements in water solubility.
Fluorescent penetration enhancers for transdermal applications
2012, Journal of Controlled ReleaseCitation Excerpt :However, in spite of the fact that DCDHF exhibited potency at a low concentration, it is limited by its poor water solubility. This structure, which has been shown to be readily derivatized [32,33], may be improved by adding a water-soluble group such as sulfonic acid (e.g. fluorophore 21 in [33], shown in Figure S5). Third, in spite of the fact that SRG and SRB have similar chemical structures, SRG is a significant FPE, while SRB is not.
D-π-A solvatochromic charge transfer dyes containing a 2-cyanomethylene-3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran acceptor
2010, Dyes and PigmentsCitation Excerpt :9-Formyljulolidine 3 was synthesized according to the literature [21]. Dye 1–2 were prepared by the literature procedure [22–24]. The redox potentials were measured by cyclic voltammetry on an VersaSTAT3 model.
