A kind of cyanine fluorochrome
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of cyanine fluorochrome that can be used for biological fluorescent labelling, specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of optical dye that can under mild reaction conditions, prepare, its preparation method and the purposes in biological sample dyeing.
Background technology
Optical dye has been widely used in life science and clinical diagnose.In flow cytometry, optical dye during through laser irradiation area, sends the scattered light of fluorescence and multi-angle with after nucleic acid substances in the cell combines.Through detection, can obtain about the structure of cell and the bulk information of physical and chemical parameter to these fluorescence and scattered light signal.
In the clinical diagnose, be divided into lymphocyte, neutrophil leucocyte, monocyte, eosinophilic granulocyte, basophilic granulocyte etc. to the normal white corpuscle in the human peripheral blood usually.White corpuscle is under pathologic condition, and the nucleic acid component of its form, quantitative proportion and cell interior all can great changes will take place.In addition, the red corpuscle in the peripheral blood of human body is generally the sophisticated red corpuscle that does not contain RNA, under pathologic condition, the reticulocyte of the immature RNA of containing can occur.DNA/RNA nucleic acid through the optical dye pair cell carries out specific stain, utilize detection technique of fluorescence effectively examination go out these abnormal cellss.
The early stage dyestuff of using comprises new methylene blue (NMB), Brilliant cresyl blue (BCB), sends the peaceful Y of promise, ethidium bromide etc.They form mixture through embedding or electrostatic attraction and nucleic acid molecule, thereby can examine under a microscope the fluorescence after the enhancing.But self also can form dye composition these dyestuffs, can not obviously be different from the mixture that dyestuff and nucleic acid form, and causes high fluorescence background to disturb.Simultaneously, the fluorescence quantum efficiency of these dyestuffs is lower, has reduced fluorescence enhanced degree, influences the accuracy of detected result.
USP 3883247 discloses a kind of white corpuscle five sorting techniques, and it is to dye through SP 15 Lemon Yellow dialogue nucleus, and difference red through different white corpuscle subclass and the green fluorescence amount comes white corpuscle is classified.The SP 15 Lemon Yellow that this method adopts can form mixture with nucleic acid, and fluorescence is strengthened.This type dye molecule may cause optical quenching each other in the process of transmission ofenergy, make the dyestuff nucleic acid complexes not have fluorescence to send, and influences the detected result verity.In stream type cell analyzer, SP 15 Lemon Yellow and plastic piping have stronger effect, can increase background fluorescence intensity simultaneously.In order to remove the residual dyestuff in test back and to guarantee precision of test result, need instrument to carry out long pipeline and clean, this has just reduced the analysis efficiency of instrument.
USP 4882284 discloses a kind of white corpuscle five sorting techniques; It is that anhemolytic method is sharp to dye to the various cells in the hemocyte with the oxazine fluorochrome through adopting, and forward scatter light, side scattered light and the red fluorescence intensity through different cells comes white corpuscle is classified then.The fluorescence quantum efficiency of these dyestuffs is lower, has reduced fluorescence enhanced degree, influences the accuracy of detected result, owing to need to measure red corpuscle, white corpuscle and thrombocyte, then some abnormal erythrocytes such as macroerythrocyte etc. can influence the white corpuscle accurate counting simultaneously.
The cyanine fluorochrome that uses at present is as having unsymmetrical cyanine dye TOTO (thiazole orange dimer), the YOYO of high affinity by the exploitations such as Glazer of the U.S. to dsDNA! oxazole Huang dimer), TOTAB, TOTIN (thiazole orange heterodimer), and [K.M. Sovenyhazy such as asymmetric single methylene radical cyanine dyes TO-PRO-3, PO-PRO-2 and BO-PRO-2 that derive on this basis; J.A. Bordelon, J.T. Petty. Nucleic Acids Res, 2003; 31; 2561], their absorption and emission are all in the near-infrared region (670-1000 nm), but the molecular structure of this type dyestuff is complicated; Synthetic route is longer; Purification process length consuming time and yield are lower, thereby expensive, have limited its use range.
Therefore need the new cyanine fluorochrome of exploitation; This fluorochrome has following characteristics: synthesis step is few, and synthesis condition is gentle, and the purification process mode is simple; Product yield is high; Light stability is high, has the penetrating ability of certain cytolemma, has low fluorescence background simultaneously and to the specific recognition capability of nucleic acid.
