We have synthesized derivatives of pyropheophorbide-a with electron donor and acceptor groups which localize in lipid membranes and can be used for multi-photon imaging via second harmonic generation and two-photon excited fluorescence.

Abstract The study presents the influence of structure modulation by introducing selected donor and acceptor substituents on optical properties of benzofuran used in biological imaging. As the starting form, 2-(5-formylbenzofuran-2-yl)acetamide described experimentally was used. This molecule contains an aldehyde group as reactive site, through which conjugation with protein occurs. Structure modulation was carried out by attaching additional electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents to the amino group, namely -NH2, -NHCH3, -NO2, -OH, and -OCH3. Studies have shown that the -NH2, -NHCH3, -OH, and -OCH3 substituents do not induce a significant change in the position of maximum absorption and fluorescence relative to each other. They also do not change the parameters describing the nonlinear response. Only the presence of the -NO2 substituent results in significant solvatochromic shifts. Changing substituents also does not significantly affect the LD50 value, and all tested fluorescent probes should not be considered toxic to humans. Modulation of the benzofuran derivative structure also does not change the active center in which the biocomplex with the protein is formed. In each case, the conjugation takes place via LYS114. In addition, the study was prompted to analyze the linear and nonlinear optical properties of conjugates formed after the reaction with Concanavalin A. Graphical abstract

ABSTRACTNonlinear optical dendritic macromolecules, called “azobenzene dendrons”, having a branching structure modified with a second-order nonlinear optical chromophore has been synthesized. An electron donor and acceptor azobenzene chromophore having a large molecular hyperpolarizability of β0=150E-30 esu, was chosen. The electronic structure of synthesized dendrons, which were expected to become dipolar due to their intermolecular attractive interaction, was proven by second-order nonlienar optical properties. The molecular hyperpolarizabilities of azobenzene dendrons were measured by the hypr-Rayleigh scattering technique. The highest molecular hyperpoalrizability was found to be 3,010E-30 esu for an azobenzene dendron having 15 chromophoric unit, where each chromophore coherently contribute to the second harmonic generation. This level of the molecular hyperpolarizability was much larger than that for a monomeric azobenzene chromophore.
