Abstract

The syntheses of new blue luminescent N(2)-modified guanosine derivatives with chromophores p-4,4'-biphenyl-NPh2 (1a), p-4,4'-biphenyl-N(2-py)2 (1b), and p-4,4'-biphenyl-2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazolyl (1c), respectively, have been achieved. These new N(2)-guanosines are moderate blue emitters with lambda(max) = 395 nm (1a), 370 nm (1b), and 403 nm (1c) and Phi = 0.13, 0.07, and 0.10 in tetrahydrofuran, respectively. Spectroscopic studies and density-functional theory calculations established that the guanine moiety and the new chromophore in all three molecules are involved in the luminescent process. We have also established that guanosines 1a-1c can interact with metal ions such as Zn(II). The interactions of Zn(II) ions with the three guanosines were examined via absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), and NMR spectroscopic analyses. We have found that these guanosines display a distinct fluorescent response toward Zn(II) ions which can be attributed to the presence of the chelate chromophore N(2-py)2 in 1b and 2-py-benzimidazolyl in 1c. For 1a and 1b, the addition of Zn(II) ions causes straight fluorescent quenching while for 1c the addition of Zn(II) ions causes quenching initially, which is followed by a distinct...Continue Reading

Anthelmintics

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
