AI Article Synopsis
- Fluorescent materials are crucial for microbiological research, but there is still a need for improved materials with better properties.
- A new polythiophene derivative (PT-OH-PPR) was created, featuring a porphyrin group, which was synthesized using FeCl oxidative polymerization.
- PT-OH-PPR demonstrates wide absorption and emission ranges, good water solubility, low cytotoxicity, and can be used for dual-channel cell imaging in A549 cells.
Article Abstract
Fluorescent materials play an extremely important role in understanding the microbiological world. New fluorescent materials which have good photophysical properties, low cytotoxicity, and multi-channel fluorescent imaging capability are still urgently needed, even though many kinds of fluorescent materials have already been synthesized. In this work, a new polythiophene derivative (PT-OH-PPR) modified with a porphyrin group in its side chain was designed and fabricated through FeCl oxidative polymerization. The obtained PT-OH-PPR has wide absorption and emission spectral range, good water solubility and low cytotoxicity. Importantly it could be enriched in the cytoplasm of A549 cells and be excited by two excitation wavelengths (488 nm and 559 nm), which provides a promising application in dual-channel cell imaging.
