| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed [3]rotaxane-type fluorophores, in which an alkynylpyrene is encapsulated with two permethyl α -cyclodextrins (PM α-CD). Conclusive proof for the [3]rotaxane structure was obtained on the basis of its X-ray structure analysis. This fluorophore showed extremely high photo-stability because PM α-CD, like bulletproof glass, protected the alkynylpyrene core from the attack of reactive species. Fluorescence spectrum measurement revealed that the [3]rotaxane-type alkynylpyrene emitted only blue light of monomeric pyrene in the various circumstances such as lipophilic, hydrophilic, and even condensed states.
Aiming at evolution of the rotaxane-type fluorophore to biomolecule-labeling agents, we synthesized new [3]rotaxane-type alkynylpyrens with succinimidyl ester. After labeling the protein with this rotaxane, photo-bleaching experiment was executed. It was found that the extremely high photostability of the rotaxane is maintained even after labeling the protein.
