Ruthenium polypyridyl peptide conjugates: membrane permeable probes for cellular imaging

Abstract: Two novel polyarginine labelled ruthenium polypyridyl dyes are reported, one conjugated to five, (Ru-Ahx-R 5 ), and one to eight arginine residues, (Ru-Ahx-R 8 ).Both complexes exhibit long-lived, intense, and oxygen sensitive luminescence. Luminescent dye molecules capable of passive cell delivery may be used as molecular probes for example in cellular imaging, cell biology, molecular biology, microbiology, and flow cytometry applications.The majority of probes used in cellular imaging are fluorescent and bas… Show more

“…These molecules are strongly absorbing chromophores often used as antennas for indirect excitation of metal ions, where direct excitation of a metal is inefficient. Phenanthroline itself is known to inhibit metallopeptidases and its various metal complexes have been prepared and tested as bioprobes [24][25][26][27][28][29]. Here we present results based on the synthesis, behavior in the different solvents monitored by NMR spectroscopy, photophysical analysis and cellular imaging of novel metal complexes under low concentrations.…”

“…As mentioned earlier, lifetime measurements overcome the disadvantages of the intensitybased measurements. Luminescence lifetime, for example, is an ideal parameter to measure in biological system where the exact concentration of dye after cellular uptake is difficult to determine and replicate accurately [171].…”

“…In support to these targeted delivery works, Keyes group exploited the capacity of Ru(II) polypyridyl peptide conjugates as probes for cell imaging. 54,55 Metallopeptides incorporating other CPPs such as Tat [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] , sC18 or Penetratin have also been described. For instance, Keppler group reported the conjugation of a Pt(IV) analogue of oxaliplatin prodrug to the Tat 47-57 peptide (YGRKKRRQRRR-NH 2 ).…”
