Abstract
We present the synthesis and characterization of luminescent biological probes derived from rhenium(I) polypyridine fluorous complexes [Re(Me 2 bpy)(CO)3(py-Rf-R)](PF6) (R = NH2 (1), NCS (2), TU-C2H5 (3)). The photophysical properties of these complexes have been studied. The fluorous complex 2 has been used to label glutathione (GSH) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The photophysical properties of the resultant bioconjugates have been studied. The isolation of the luminescent fluorous rhenium-GSH conjugate from a mixture of twenty amino acids has been demonstrated using fluorous solidphase extraction (FSPE). Additionally, the cytotoxicity of complexes 1 and 3 toward HeLa cells has been examined by the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The cellular uptake properties of complex 3 have been investigated by laser-scanning confocal microscopy. © 2010 IEEE.
