Hetero-substituted derivative of PtPFPP for intracellular O2 sensing of mammalian cells

Abstract

Optical Oxygen sensing is a convenient approach for monitoring and imaging molecular oxygen (O2) in biological samples, however existing intracellular O2-sensing probes still have some limitations. This study describes a new phosphorescent hetero-substituted derivative of Pt(II)-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (PtPFPP) obtained via a two-step thiol click-modification. Particularly, 1-thio-b-D-glucose (Glc) and thio-methyl-polyethylene-glycol (mPEG) moieties were covalently attached to PtPFPP, producing the trans-di-glucosylated-di-PEGylated derivative, PtGlc2PEG2 (trans). Previously, we demonstrated that such short PEG oligomers drastically reduce the translocation of the tetra- or tri-PEGylated derivatives across cell membrane. However, the new trans-di-PEGylated-di-glucosylated derivative provided efficient intracellular staining and O2 sensing (IcO2) of murine embryonic fibroblast (MEFs) cells.
