    Abstract Fluorescent base analogues (FBAs) have become useful tools for applications in biophysical chemistry, chemical biology, live-cell imaging, and RNA therapeutics. Herein, two synthetic routes towards a novel FBA of uracil named qU (quadracyclic uracil/uridine) are described. The qU nucleobase bears a tetracyclic fused ring system and is designed to allow for specific Watson-Crick base pairing with adenine. We find that qU absorbs light in the visible region of the spectrum and emits brightly with a quantum yield of 27 % and a dual-band character in a wide pH range. With evidence, among other things, from fluorescence lifetime measurements we suggest that this dual emission feature results from an excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) process. Furthermore, we find that both absorption and emission of qU are highly sensitive to pH. The high brightness in combination with excitation in the visible and pH responsiveness makes qU an interesting native-like nucleic acid label in spectroscopy and microscopy applications in, for example, the field of mRNA and antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapeutics.

    Abstract The intensive research for hybridization probes based on organic molecules with fluorogenic properties is currently attracting particular attention due to their potential to efficiently recognize different DNA conformations and the local environment. However, most established organic chromophores do not meet the requirements of this task, as they do not exhibit good brightness in aqueous buffer media, develop aggregation and/or are not easily conjugated to oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) while keeping their photophysics intact. Herein, an important modification strategy was employed for a well-known fluorophore, 2-(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)-3-hydroxychromone (

    Abstract Fluorescent nucleobase analogues (FBAs) are established tools for studying oligonucleotide structure, dynamics and interactions, and have recently also emerged as an attractive option for labeling RNA-based therapeutics. A recognized drawback of FBAs, however, is that they typically require excitation in the UV region, which for imaging in biological samples may have disadvantages related to phototoxicity, tissue penetration, and out-of-focus photobleaching. Multiphoton excitation has the potential to alleviate these issues and therefore, in this work, we characterize the multiphoton absorption properties and detectability of the highly fluorescent quadracyclic adenine analogue 2CNqA as a ribonucleotide monomer as well as incorporated, at one or two positions, into a 16mer antisense oligonucleotide (ASO). We found that 2CNqA has a two-photon absorption cross section that, among FBAs, is exceptionally high, with values of

    Abstract The sensitivity of FRET-based sensing is usually limited by the spectral overlaps of the FRET donor and acceptor, which generate a poor signal-to-noise ratio. To overcome this limitation, a quenched donor presenting a large Stokes shift can be combined with a bright acceptor to perform Dark Resonance Energy Transfer (DRET). The consequent fluorogenic response from the acceptor considerably improves the signal-to-noise ratio. To date, DRET has mainly relied on a donor that is covalently bound to the acceptor. In this context, our aim was to develop the first intermolecular DRET pair for specific sensing of nucleic acid sequences. To this end, we designed DFK, a push-pull probe based on a fluorenyl π-platform that is strongly quenched in water. DFK was incorporated into a series of oligonucleotides and used as a DRET donor with Cy5-labeled complementary sequences. In line with our expectations, excitation of the dark donor in the double-labeled duplex switched on the far-red Cy5 emission and remained free of cross-excitation. The DRET mechanism was supported by time-resolved fluorescence measurements. This concept was then applied with binary probes, which confirmed the distance dependence of DRET as well as its potency in detecting sequences of interest with low background noise.

    Abstract In this work, we report on the Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET) reaction between a donor (adenine analogue) and an acceptor (3-methoxychromone dye, 3MC) in the context of designing efficient fluorescent probes as DNA sensors. Firstly, Gibbs energy was investigated in disconnected donor-acceptor systems by Rehm-Weller equation. The oxidation potential of the adenine derivative was responsible for exergonicity of the PET reaction in separated combinations. Then, the PET reaction in donor-π-acceptor conjugates was investigated using steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, acid-mediated PET inhibition and transient absorption techniques. In conjugated systems, PET is a favorable pathway of fluorescent quenching when an electron-rich adenine analogue (d7A) was connected to the fluorophore (3MC). We found that formation of ground-state complexes even at nm concentration range dominated the dye photophysics and generated poorly emissive species likely through intermolecular PET from d7A to 3MC. On the other hand, solution acidification disrupts complexation and turns on the dye emission. Bridging an electron-poor adenine analogue with high oxidation potential (8 d7A) to 3MC presenting low reduction potential is another alternative to prevent complex formation and produce highly emissive monomer conjugates.
