  • novel intramolecular Spirocyclization based fluorogenic probes from rapid intraoperative imaging of tiny tumors to super resolution imaging
    Optical Molecular Probes Imaging and Drug Delivery, 2015
    Co-Authors: Yasuteru Urano, Mako Kamiya, Masayo Sakabe
    Abstract:

    We have established versatile and flexible design strategies for novel organic fluorogenic probes based on intramolecular Spirocyclization. First-in-class probes for rapid detection of in vivo tiny tumors and for super-resolution imaging were successfully developed.

  • a spontaneously blinking fluorophore based on intramolecular Spirocyclization for live cell super resolution imaging
    Nature Chemistry, 2014
    Co-Authors: Mako Kamiya, Toshitada Yoshihara, Ko Sugawara, Kohki Okabe, Mehmet C Tarhan, Hiroyuki Fujita, Takashi Funatsu, Yasushi Okada, Seiji Tobita, Yasuteru Urano
    Abstract:

    A self-blinking fluorophore suitable for super-resolution imaging has been developed. The blinking arises from a reversible intramolecular Spirocyclization in a rhodamine-based fluorophore that switches between a fluorescent open form and a non-fluorescent closed form. The advantages over existing methodologies are demonstrated using single-molecule localization microscopy imaging inside cells.

    Abstract:

    Single-molecule localization microscopy is used to construct super-resolution images, but generally requires prior intense laser irradiation and in some cases additives, such as thiols, to induce on–off switching of fluorophores. These requirements limit the potential applications of this methodology. Here, we report a first-in-class spontaneously blinking fluorophore based on an intramolecular Spirocyclization reaction. Optimization of the intramolecular nucleophile and rhodamine-based fluorophore (electrophile) provide a suitable lifetime for the fluorescent open form, and equilibrium between the open form and the non-fluorescent closed form. We show that this spontaneously blinking fluorophore is suitable for single-molecule localization microscopy imaging deep inside cells and for tracking the motion of structures in living cells. We further demonstrate the advantages of this fluorophore over existing methodologies by applying it to nuclear pore structures located far above the coverslip with a spinning-disk confocal microscope and for repetitive time-lapse super-resolution imaging of microtubules in live cells for up to 1 h. A self-blinking fluorophore suitable for super-resolution imaging has been developed. The blinking arises from a reversible intramolecular Spirocyclization in a rhodamine-based fluorophore that switches between a fluorescent open form and a non-fluorescent closed form.

  • Development of a highly specific rhodamine-based fluorescence probe for hypochlorous acid and its application to real-time imaging of phagocytosis
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2007
    Co-Authors: Suguru Kenmoku, Hirotatsu Kojima, Yasuteru Urano, Tetsuo Nagano
    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.

  • formal meta specific intramolecular friedel crafts allylic alkylation of phenols through a Spirocyclization dienone phenol rearrangement cascade
    Tetrahedron, 2013
    Co-Authors: Mariko Yoshida, Tomoyuki Nozaki, Tetsuhiro Nemoto, Yasumasa Hamada
    Abstract:

    Abstract Formal meta-specific intramolecular Friedel–Crafts allylic alkylation of phenols was achieved based on Spirocyclization–dienone–phenol rearrangement cascades. Systematic screening of acid catalysts revealed that Sc(OTf)3 was a highly effective catalyst for dienone–phenol rearrangement of spiro[4.5]cyclohexadienones. Using 5 mol % of Sc(OTf)3 as the promoter, various spirocyclic substrates were transformed into the corresponding phenol derivatives in good to excellent yield. Furthermore, the one-pot sequential Spirocyclization–dienone–phenol rearrangement proceeded using a palladium and scandium multi-catalytic system or a triphenylmethyl cation single-catalyst system, providing the corresponding meta-allylated phenol derivatives in excellent yield.
