Herein, we report the crystal structure of 2,7-dichlorofluorescein methyl ester (DCF-ME) and its fluorescence response to hydroxyapatite binding. The reported fluorophore is very selective for staining the bone matrix and provides turn-on fluorescence upon hydroxyapatite binding. The reported fluorophore can readily pass the cell membrane of the C2C12 cell line, and it is non-toxic for the cell line. The reported fluorophore DCF-ME may find applications in monitoring bone remodeling and microcalcification as an early diagnosis tool for breast cancer and age-related macular degeneration.
在此,我们报道了2,7-二氯荧光素甲酯(DCF-ME)的晶体结构及其对羟基磷灰石结合的荧光响应。所报道的荧光团对骨基质染色具有高度选择性,并在与羟基磷灰石结合时产生开启荧光。所报道的荧光团能够轻易穿过C2C12细胞系的细胞膜,且对该细胞系无毒。所报道的荧光团DCF-ME作为乳腺癌和年龄相关性黄斑变性的早期诊断工具,可能在监测骨重塑和微钙化方面找到应用。
