Water soluble N-confused porphyrins, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(alpha-pyridinio-p-tolyl)-2-aza-21-carbaporphyrin (pPyNCP) and its N-methyl derivative, 2-N-methyl-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(alpha-pyridinio-p-tolyl)-2-aza-21-carbaporphyrin (NMe-pPyNCP), have been synthesized by introducing cationic side-arms at the meso-positions of N-confused porphyrin. Their acid-base properties (pK(1-4)) and DNA-binding ability in aqueous solutions were elucidated in comparison with the corresponding porphyrin derivative. Photophysical behaviors of pPyNCP were largely influenced by buffer compositions and DNA structures, whereas NMe-pPyNCP is considerably robust against these factors. In addition, significant enhancement of the fluorescence was observed with NMe-pPyNCP by the addition of DNA. The unique properties of pPyNCP and NMe-pPyNCP stem from the confused pyrrole rings in the macrocycle.
水溶性 N-杂卟啉、5,10,15,20-四(α-吡啶鎓对甲苯基)-2-氮杂-21-碳杂卟啉(pPyNCP)及其 N-甲基衍生物 2-N-甲基-5,10,15,20-四(α-吡啶鎓对甲苯基)-2-氮杂-21-碳杂卟啉(NMe-pPyNCP)已通过在 N-杂卟啉的中位引入阳离子侧链合成。与相应的卟啉衍生物相比,阐明了它们在水溶液中的酸碱性质(pK(1-4))和 DNA 结合能力。pPyNCP 的光物理行为在很大程度上受缓冲液组成和 DNA 结构的影响,而 NMe-pPyNCP 对这些因素相当稳健。此外,通过添加 DNA 观察到 NMe-pPyNCP 的荧光显著增强。pPyNCP 和 NMe-pPyNCP 的独特性质源于大环中混乱的吡咯环。
