T1 - Crystal and molecular structure of methyl 4-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucopyranoside N2 - The cellulose model compound methyl 4-O-methyl-?-Image-glucopyranosyl-(1?4)-?-Image-glucopyranoside (6) was synthesised in high overall yield from methyl ?-Image-cellobioside. The compound was crystallised from methanol to give colourless prisms, and the crystal structure was determined. The monoclinic space group is P21 with Z=2 and unit cell parameters a=6.6060 (13), b=14.074 (3), c=9.3180 (19) Å, ?=108.95(3)°. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R=0.0286 for 2528 reflections. Both glucopyranoses occur in the 4C1 chair conformation with endocyclic bond angles in the range of standard values. The relative orientation of both units described by the interglycosidic torsional angles [? (O-5?---C-1?---O-4---C-4) -89.1°, phi (C-1?---O-4---C-4---C-5) -152.0°] is responsible for the very flat shape of the molecule and is similar to those found in other cellodextrins. Different rotamers at the exocyclic hydroxymethyl group for both units are present. The hydroxymethyl group of the terminal glucose moiety displays a gauche–trans orientation, whereas the side chain of the reducing unit occurs in a gauche–gauche conformation. The solid state 13C NMR spectrum of compound 6 exhibits all 14 carbon resonances. By using different cross polarisation times, the resonances of the two methyl groups and C-6 carbons can easily be distinguished. Distinct differences of the C-1 and C-4 chemical shifts in the solid and liquid states are found.

T1 - Controlled modulation of serum protein binding and biodistribution of asymmetric cyanine dyes by variation of the number of sulfonate groups N2 - To assess the suitability of asymmetric cyanine dyes for in vivo fluoro-optical molecular imaging, a comprehensive study on the influence of the number of negatively charged sulfonate groups governing the hydrophilicity of the DY-67x family of asymmetric cyanines was performed. Special attention was devoted to the plasma protein binding capacity and related pharmacokinetic properties. Four members of the DY-67x cyanine family composed of the same main chromophore, but substituted with a sequentially increasing number of sulfonate groups (n = 1−4; DY-675, DY-676, DY-677, DY-678, respectively), were incubated with plasma proteins dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline. Protein binding was assessed by absorption spectroscopy, gel electrophoresis, ultrafiltration, and dialysis. Distribution of dye in organs was studied by intraveneous injection of 62 nmol dye/kg body weight into mice (n = 12; up to 180 minutes postinjection) using whole-body near-infrared fluorescence imaging. Spectroscopic studies, gel electrophoresis, and dialysis demonstrated reduced protein binding with increasing number of sulfonate groups. The bovine serum albumin binding constant of the most hydrophobic dye, DY-675, is 18 times higher than that of the most hydrophilic fluorophore, DY-678. In vivo biodistribution analysis underlined a considerable influence of dye hydrophilicity on biodistribution and excretion pathways, with the more hydrophobic dyes, DY-675 and DY-676, accumulating in the liver, followed by strong fluorescence signals in bile and gut owing to accumulation in feces and comparatively hydrophilic DY-678-COOH accumulating in the bladder. Our results demonstrate the possibility of selectively controlling dye-protein interactions and, thus, biodistribution and excretion pathways via proper choice of the fluorophore's substitution pattern. This underlines the importance of structure-property relationships for fluorescent labels. Moreover, our data could provide the basis for the rationalization of future contrast agent developments.

It determines the suitability of such materials for applications in, for example, (bio)analysis, biosensing, and fluorescence imaging as well as as active components in optical devices. The reborn interest in accurate Φf measurements in conjunction with the controversial reliability of reported Φf values of many common organic dyes encouraged us to compare two relative and one absolute fluorometric method for the determination of the fluorescence quantum yields of quinine sulfate dihydrate, coumarin 153, fluorescein, rhodamine 6G, and rhodamine 101. The relative methods include the use of a chain of Φf transfer standards consisting of several 'standard dye' versus 'reference dye' pairs linked to a golden Φf standard that covers the ultraviolet and visible spectral region, and the use of different excitation wavelengths for standard and sample, respectively. Based upon these measurements and the calibration of the instruments employed, complete uncertainty budgets for the resulting Φf values are derived for each method, thereby providing evaluated standard operation procedures for Φf measurements and, simultaneously, a set of assessed Φf standards.

Photoluminescence signals are, however, affected by wavelength, polarization and time dependent instrument specific effects, and provide only relative intensities. This hampers the comparability of fluorescence measure-ments and calls for simple tools for instrument characterization and the quantification of measured fluorescence intensities. Well characterized fluorescence standards for instrument calibration and performance validation (IPV) can be used as references for fluorescence signals. Of special importance is the correct determination of photoluminescence quantum yields (QF) (number of emitted per absorbed photons) that provides a direct comparison of the fluorescence efficiency of emitters. Such well characterized standards have been successfully developed by BAM for the relative determination of f values of transparent solutions of molecular and nanoscale emitters in the wavelength range from 350 and 1100 nm and will be soon certified. These standards can also be used to evaluate integrating sphere setups, which are increasingly being used for absolute measurements of QF values.

T1 - An in vitro characterization study of new near infrared dyes for molecular imaging N2 - The spectroscopic properties, stability, and cytotoxicity of series of cyanine labels, the dyes DY-681, DY-731, DY-751, and DY-776, were studied to identify new tools for in vivo fluorescence imaging and to find substitutes for DY-676 recently used by us as fluorescent label in a target-specific probe directed against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). This probe enables the selective monitoring of CEA-expressing tumor cells in mice, yet displays only a low fluorescence quantum yield and thus, a non-optimum sensitivity. All the DY dyes revealed enhanced fluorescence quantum yields, a superior stability, and a lower cytotoxicity in comparison to clinically approved indocyanine green (ICG). With DY-681 and far-red excitable DY-731 and DY-751, we identified three dyes with improved properties compared to DY-676 and ICG.
