DCA-Mln is a Fluorescent probe for ferric iron (Fe³⁺) detection. The probe works via an internal charge transfer (ICT) process from its diethylamino group to its dicyano group, which produces bright pink fluorescence in its unbound state; when Fe³⁺ is present, two molecules of DCA-Mln chelate with one Fe³⁺ ion, with one cyano group of each DCA-Mln participating in the complexation, and this binding triggers a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process that provides a nonradiative deactivation pathway, resulting in fluorescence quenching; additionally, the probe exhibits a visible color change from purple to peach pink upon Fe³⁺ binding, enabling dual-channel detection. The probe has an excitation wavelength of 570 nm and an emission wavelength of 670 nm, and it shows a rapid response, with fluorescence stabilizing within 15 seconds of Fe³⁺ addition. DCA-Mln is cell-membrane-permeable, nontoxic at the imaging concentration of 10 μM, and can be used for Fe³⁺ detection in actual water samples, Fe³⁺ imaging in living cells, and as an anti-counterfeiting ink[1].

Photoswitchable PM8 is a fluorescent probe used for super-resolution imaging of the plasma membrane. Photoswitchable PM8 functions through a light-induced Z/E isomerization mechanism: in the hydrophobic cell membrane environment, the Z isomer forms a planar intramolecular charge transfer state stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond, which restricts conformational freedom, reduces nonradiative decay, and produces bright fluorescence; in contrast, the E isomer lacks this hydrogen bond, has increased conformational freedom, and exhibits a fluorescence-quenched state. The fluorescence of Photoswitchable PM8 can be switched "on/off" by visible light: activation with 405 nm light forms the fluorescent Z isomer, and switching with 561 nm light converts it to the nonfluorescent E isomer. In the membrane environment, Photoswitchable PM8 enables single-molecule localization for super-resolution imaging. Due to solvent-induced quenching and aggregation, Photoswitchable PM8 has negligible fluorescence in aqueous solution, but upon binding to the hydrophobic membrane environment it produces bright fluorescence, enabling high signal-to-noise ratio imaging without washing .

Dansyl-morpholine (DNS-M) is a Fluorescent probe for lipid droplet imaging, cancer cell discrimination, and real-time tracking of lipid droplet dynamics. As a solvatochromic probe with a donor-π-acceptor structure, it relies on hydrophobic interaction for its mechanism of action: its good lipophilicity, confirmed by an oil-water partition coefficient LogP = 2.35, allows it to rapidly penetrate cell membranes, and it specifically localizes to the hydrophobic core of lipid droplets; its fluorescence is strongly enhanced in the nonpolar environment of lipid droplets, while it emits very weak fluorescence in polar environments like PBS buffer, and it exhibits a bathochromic shift in emission wavelength with increasing solvent polarity. It has negligible cytotoxicity, with cell viability remaining over 95% after 24-hour incubation with 100 μM of the probe, and it possesses excellent photostability, retaining over 97% of initial fluorescence intensity after 60 continuous laser scans. For cell imaging applications, its excitation/emission wavelengths for lipid droplet labeling are Ex/Em = 405/480−540 nm, and in a simulative lipid environment O/W emulsion, it has an excitation wavelength of ~346 nm and emission wavelength of ~500 nm, giving a Stokes shift of 154 nm[1].

Mito-RhFe is a Fluorescent probe for mitochondrial labile Fe³⁺ monitoring via imaging and flow cytometry. This probe is a rhodamine-based construct with a spirolactam fluorescence signaling group and an N2-hydroxyethyldiethylenetriamine chelator; its delocalized positive charge enables mitochondria-targeting ability in live cells, and it exhibits fine cell membrane permeability. In its native state, it exists in the non-fluorescent spirolactam form, but upon binding to Fe³⁺, it undergoes a ring-opening conversion to the fluorescent rhodamine form, triggering a turn-on fluorescent response; this process is reversible, as the addition of the metal chelator TPEN removes Fe³⁺ and converts the probe back to its non-fluorescent spirolactam form, and re-addition of Fe³⁺ restores fluorescence. The probe shows high selectivity for Fe³⁺ over most other metal cations present in living systems, with a ~90-fold fluorescence enhancement upon binding to 20 equiv of Fe³⁺. Mito-RhFe has excitation/emission wavelengths of Ex/Em = 540/578 nm, with an ~8 nm bathochromic shift in emission upon Fe³⁺ binding, and it can also be excited at 543 nm for confocal imaging with emission detected at 570-620 nm[1].

Ion channels are key proteins on the cell membrane that regulate the flow of ions across membranes. They participate in nearly all physiological processes, including nerve conduction, muscle contraction, heart rhythm, and pain perception. Abnormalities in their function can lead to various serious diseases such as arrhythmia, epilepsy, hypertension, neuropathic pain, and cancer. Therefore, ion channels are highly valuable drug targets—over 15% of approved drugs target ion channels currently, demonstrating their irreplaceable therapeutic value in cardiovascular, neurological, and analgesic fields.

MCE has collected a library of over 5,000 reported ion channel-related bioactive compounds targeting major sites such as Na+ channels, K+ channels, Ca2+ channels, GABA receptors, iGluRs, and others. Using AI models, these compounds are characterized through both 2D representations (molecular fingerprints, pharmacophores) and 3D representations (3D conformation) to screen for a collection of lead-like compounds highly similar to known active molecules. Additionally, an hERG channel prediction algorithm integrating XGB and ISE mapping strategy is employed to assess and exclude potential cardiotoxicity in the library.. This step significantly reduces safety risks in subsequent screenings, particularly for ion channel drug development related to cardiovascular systems (e.g., Nav1.5, Cav1.2), effectively minimizing failures due to hERG inhibition and serving as a valuable tool for ion channel drug screening.

CAS No.: 479050-96-9
Quorum sensing is a regulatory system used by bacteria to control gene expression in response to increased cell density. This regulatory process manifests itself in a variety of phenotypes, including biofilm formation and virulence factor production. Coordinated gene expression is achieved through the production, release and detection of small diffusible signaling molecules called autoinducers. N-acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) comprise a class of such autoinducers, each of which generally consists of a fatty acid coupled to a homoserine lactone (HSL). Modulation of bacterial quorum-sensing signaling systems to suppress pathogenesis represents a new approach to antimicrobial research for infectious diseases. AHLs differ in acyl length (C4-C18), C3 substitution (hydrogen, hydroxyl, or oxo group), and the presence or absence of one or more carbon-carbon double bonds in the fatty acid chain. These differences confer signaling specificity through the affinity of the LuxR family of transcriptional regulators. C18-HSL, one of four lipophilic long acyl side chain AHLs produced by the LuxI AHL synthase homolog SinI, is involved in quorum-sensing signaling in strains of Rhizobium meliloti (a nitrogen-fixing bacterial symbiont of the legume M. sativa) . C18-HSL and other hydrophobic AHLs tend to localize in the relatively lipophilic environment of bacterial cells and cannot diffuse freely across the cell membrane. Long-chain N-acyl homoserine lactones can be exported from cells by efflux pumps, or can be transported between communicating cells by extracellular outer membrane vesicles.
