摘要
A series of 26 3-hydroxychromones, three bis-flavonols and four 3-hydroxyquinolones were studied to evaluate their fluorescence response to interaction with ATP in buffer. The dyes differ by the total charge, the size and number of their aromatic units, as well as the position or electron-donating ability of their substituents. All of them were suggested to form complexes with ATP of 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometry, which can be evidenced by their bright fluorescence and their 3000-6000cm(-1) red-shifted excitation band. These fluorescent complexes allow detection of ATP concentrations over 3orders of magnitude, whereas most other known probes cover no more than two orders. In total, the dyes allow ATP detection from 0.001 to 57mm. In addition, most of the dye-ATP complexes can be excited in the visible and monitored in the red region of the spectrum. The response amplitude of the described dyes to ATP is as high as for the best known probes. Considering that complexation takes place at neutral pH, the studied dyes form a toolbox of fluorescent probes for intensiometric and ratiometric measurements of ATP concentration in a broad concentration range. Finally, the obtained results stimulate the idea that most of natural 3-hydroxyflavones in living cells may form complexes with ATP.
