Abstract
A new series of (E)-pyrene oxime ester conjugates of carboxylic acids including amino acids were synthesized by coupling with an environment sensitive fluorophore 1-acetylpyrene. (E)-Pyrene oxime esters exhibited strong fluorescence properties and interestingly their fluorescence properties were found to be highly sensitive to the surrounding environment. Direct irradiation of the (E)-pyrene oxime esters by UV light (≥350 nm) resulted in both the photo-Beckmann rearrangement product and products resulting from N-O bond homolysis. Photoproduct formation and their distribution were found to be solvent dependent. Further, we also showed (E)-pyrene oxime esters intercalated into DNA efficiently and photo-cleaved DNA. Finally we also showed these oxime esters can permeate cells efficiently and may cause cytotoxicity upon irradiation of light.
