Deferasirox, ExJade, is an FDA-approved iron chelator used for the treatment of iron overload. In this work, we report several fluorescent deferasirox derivatives that display unique photophysical properties, i.e., aggregation-induced emission (AIE), excited state intramolecular proton transfer, charge transfer, and through-bond and through-space conjugation characteristics in aqueous media. Functionalization of the phenol units on the deferasirox scaffold afforded the fluorescent responsive pro-chelator ExPhos, which enabled the detection of the disease-based biomarker alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The diagnostic potential of these deferasirox derivatives was supported by bacterial biofilm studies.
地拉罗司,ExJade,是一种获得美国食品药品监督管理局批准的铁螯合剂,用于治疗铁过载。在这项工作中,我们报告了几种荧光地拉罗司衍生物,它们在水介质中表现出独特的光物理性质,即聚集诱导发射(AIE)、激发态分子内质子转移、电荷转移以及通过键和离域共轭特性。地拉罗司骨架上的酚单元的功能化得到了荧光响应前螯合剂 ExPhos,这使得能够检测基于疾病的生物标志物碱性磷酸酶(ALP)。这些地拉罗司衍生物的诊断潜力得到了细菌生物膜研究的支持。
