A novel [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivative as a fluorescence probe for specific detection of Fe3+ ions and application in cell imaging
Analytica Chimica Acta(2021)
摘要
The detection of metal ions is of particular importance for monitoring environmental pollution and life metabolic activities. However, it is still a challenge to achieve Fe3+ detection with specific sensitivity and rapid response, especially in the presence of chelating agents for Fe3+ ions. Herein, a novel fluorescence probe for Fe3+, i.e., amide derivative of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a] pyrimidine (TP, Id), was synthesized, featuring specific Fe3+ selectivity, rapid quenching (5 s), low limit of detection (0.82 μM), good permeability and low cytotoxicity. More importantly, Id can be used to identify and detect Fe3+ in the presence of existing strong chelating agents (e.g., EDTA) for Fe3+ ions. The results show that the as-synthesized fluorescence probe is particularly suitable as a bioimaging reagent to monitor intracellular Fe3+ in living HeLa cells. Furthermore, we proposed the binding mode for Id with Fe3+ ions and the light-emitting mechanism through high-resolution mass spectra and density function theory calculations, respectively. An Id-based test paper can be used to rapidly identify Fe3+. These results are expected to improve the development of new sensitive and specific fluorescent sensors for Fe3+.
