    Abstract:
    A dansyl derivatized triazole linked glucopyranosyl conjugate ((NO2)L) has been synthesized and characterized and was used in the present study. The conjugate (NO2)L releases a fluorescent product upon reaction by Cys-SeH in aqueous PBS buffer by exhibiting a ∼210-fold fluorescence enhancement even in the presence of 20 other amino acids with a minimum detection limit of (1.5 ± 0.2) × 10(-7) M. The selectivity of the Cys-SeH to (NO2)L was further proven by extending the fluorescence study to different other selenium compounds. The role of para-nitrobenzenesulfonyl (pNBS) center in (NO2)L in the selective recognition of Cys-SeH was confirmed when the fluorescence emission studies were carried out using five different derivatizations possessing two NO2, five fluoro, two fluoro, one fluoro, and no fluoro groups. The nucleophilic substitution reaction of Cys-SeH on (NO2)L has been clearly demonstrated on the basis of (1)H NMR, ESI-MS, and absorption spectroscopy, and the heat changes were monitored by isothermal titration calorimetry. The application potential of (NO2)L has been demonstrated by studying its selectivity toward Cys-SeH in aqueous PBS buffer, in bovine serum, and on the silica gel surface that lead to minimum detection limits of (25 ± 2), (80 ± 5), and (168 ± 16) ppb, respectively. The biological applicability of (NO2)L for Cys-SeH was further demonstrated in HepG2 cells by fluorescence microscopy. Thus, (NO2)L is aqueous soluble and a biologically acceptable probe for Cys-SeH.
