Visualization of tyrosinase activity in melanoma cells by a BODIPY-based fluorescent probe

Abstract: We have presented a fluorescent probe 1 that exhibits a fluorescence turn-on signal upon reaction with tyrosinase, and we show that it is readily employed for the assessment of tyrosinase activity and tyrosinase inhibitor activity in buffered aqueous solution, and further utilized for the visualization of endogenous tyrosinase activity in living melanoma cells.

“…Also, solubility and electron‐withdrawing/electron‐donor characteristics of the compounds can also be regulated as needed. Recently, the tetradentate salen/salan ligand and two fluorine or phenyl atoms chelated tetra‐coordinate organoboron complexes have been significantly developed and have undergone widespread application in the fields of materials, molecular machines, OLEDs, probes solar energy collectors, organic electronics and photonics, bioimaging, photodynamic therapy, and digital design, etc ., is performed by chemists, physicists, engineers, and material scientist. For these applications, tetra‐coordinate organoboron complexes have received considerable attention due to the generally more stable than other organometallic derivatives in the presence of a weak coordinative B→N and a strong covalent B–O bond .…”

“…Among the variously developed TR sensors, fluorescence-based assays are promising methods due to their high sensitivity and noninvasive imaging. 1,[3][4][5] However, the fluorescent probes based on the fluorescence quenching (turn-off ) or enhancing (turn-on) effects at a certain wavelength generally suffer from the unavoidable disturbance induced by intensity fluctuations ascribed to the instrumental or environmental factors. 6,7 Very recently, the ratiometric TR sensing mechanisms by measuring the relative fluorescence varies at two wavelengths of a fluorescent probe, coupling with the TR-catalyzed oxidation of TR substrate, dopamine, have been expected to overcome the above-mentioned concern.…”

“…58 We can find in the literature NIR BODIPY-based fluorescent compounds capable to penetrate the cell and localize in the cytoplasm 59 or organelles such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum 60,61 also there are reports of fluorescent probes for specific molecules such as enzymes. 62 Fluorescent molecular rotors of Boron compounds derived from Schiff bases has been reported as well, as favorable molecules to penetrate the cell membrane and stain the cytoplasm. These compounds demonstrate the quantum yield rise when solvent viscosity increases as well, property that is extremely functional in viscosity studies on cellular scale.…”
