Abstract

In the present study, we demonstrated that the introduction of a 1,4-diethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxalin moiety into the arylidene part of GFP chromophore-derived compounds results in the formation of environment-sensitive fluorogens. The rationally designed and synthesized compounds exhibit remarkable solvent- and pH-dependence in fluorescence intensity. The solvent-dependent variation in fluorescence quantum yield makes it possible to use some of the proposed compounds as polarity sensors suitable for selective endoplasmic reticulum fluorescent labeling in living cells. Moreover, the pH-dependent emission intensity variation of other fluorogens makes them selective fluorescent labels for the lysosomes in living cells.
Keywords: green fluorescent protein (GFP); fluorogen; fluorescence microscopy; endoplasmic reticulum; lysosomes; bioimaging green fluorescent protein (GFP); fluorogen; fluorescence microscopy; endoplasmic reticulum; lysosomes; bioimaging
