A New Application of Spin and Fluorescence Double-Sensor Molecules

EPR imaging techniques are known to be successful tools for mapping living bodies, especially because of the high transparency of tissues in the microwave range. This technique assumes the presence of radicals whose in vivo transport is also controlled by serum albumins. Accordingly, in this study, the interactions between 3-hydroxymethyl-1-oxyl-4-(pyren-1-yl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole radical and the human serum albumin molecules were investigated. To clarify the adsorption processes of this radical onto the surface of human serum albumin (HSA), the interaction of the OMe derivative of the radical was also examined parallel with the studies on the radical—HSA interactions. Considering the solubility issues and also to modulate the transport, inclusion complexes of the radical with a cavitand derivative were also studied. The latter interactions were observed through fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence polarization, and by EPR spectroscopy. As a double-sensor molecule, we found that the fluorophore nitroxide is a good candidate as it gave further information about host-guest interactions (fluorescence, fluorescence polarization, and EPR). We also found that in the presence of a cavitand, a complex with greater stability was formed between the sensor molecule and the human serum albumin. Based on these observations, we can conclude that applying this double-sensor (spin, fluorescent) molecule is useful in cases when different interactions can affect the EPR measurements.


Introduction
Fluorescent probes and sensors have been introduced to safely and diversely examine biological systems [1,2] as one of their many qualities. Fluorescent probes and sensor molecules can be more easily modified and used than their isotopic counterparts [3], one of which is double-sensor molecules. By introducing other moieties, such as unpaired electron-containing ones, the methods of examining their interactions can be vastly expanded. Nitroxide free radicals are among the more stable radicals used for creating probes containing fluorescent moieties. These reagents can be used in analytical chemistry to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) [4] by electron spin resonance spectroscopy (EPR-spectroscopy) and by fluorescence spectroscopy [5,6], or fluorophore-attached nitroxides can be utilized as redox indicators [7]. It has also been documented how these nitroxides interact with certain proteins, such as BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) [8], offering one more analytical tool. Fluorophores as light-sensitive molecules have been in the limelight of clinical research as well since many are used as antibacterial [9], antifungal [10], and chemotherapeutic agents [11]. Since pyrene is widely considered a useful compound for determining solvent environments, 3-hydroxymethyl-1-oxyl-4-(pyren-1yl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole radical [12] (Figure 1, 1) was used in this study as a model molecule for a pharmaceutical agent in a system containing human serum albumin (HSA). This study focuses on the nitroxide 1 interaction with HSA and with the tetrakis(3,5-dicarboxylatophenoxy)-cavitand [13] (Figure 1, 2). Within this model study, the 2 was applied as an agent that could change the rate and stability of complex formation between 1 and the HSA molecules. This model has been investigated by fluorescence, fluorescence polarization, and EPR spectroscopy [14][15][16]. In our previous publications, we presented several possibilities for examining weak molecular interactions with fluorescence or fluorescence polarization measurements. In our present research, we aimed to expand the possibilities of examining these interactions by using dual sensors. Since biological systems are transparent at the wavelength used in EPR spectroscopic studies, nitroxidefluorophore sensors provide an additional opportunity to understand the biological role of weak interactions. analytical tool.

Fluorescence Studies
Considering the limited solubility of 1 in water, experiments have been performed in a mixture of acetonitrile (ACN) and water, composed 1:9 ratio. This solvent was used to prepare the 1, 2, and HSA stock solutions. Figure 2 shows the straight linear dependenc of PL intensities of nitroxide 1 on its concentration. An excitation wavelength of 347.0 nm was selected for this study since neither the HSA nor the cavitand 2 show considerabl emission under excitation at this wavelength.

To determine the complex stabilities associated with the interaction between nitroxide 1 and HSA, the emission spectra of 1 μM nitroxide 1 in the absence and in the presence of HSA with increasing concentrations were recorded.

To determine the effect of the presence of cavitand 2 on the interaction above, the experiments were repeated in the presence of 9.375 µM cavitand 2. Emission peaks observed at 387.5 nm have been used later for data evaluation.
The emission intensity of nitroxide 1 always increased in the presence of HSA. Considering the known quenching property of water molecules on the emission of any fluorophore, this property reflects at least partial destruction of the hydration shell of nitroxide 1 during adsorption onto the surface of the protein. A slight increase (about 25%) in intensity is observed in the presence of cavitand 2 in the HSA-free solutions (Figure 3), highlighting that the cavitand includes the nitroxide 1 derivative with its fluorescent pyrene moiety.

However, this anomaly also introduces the probability of the nitroxide unpaired electron playing a role, as the molecule has the potential to undergo a reduction reaction that may further amplify the observed intensity. To fully comprehend this effect and its exclusion, we created the O-methyl derivative of our probe molecule 1 (Figure 4). However, this anomaly also introduces the probability of the nitroxide unpaired electron playing a role, as the molecule has the potential to undergo a reduction reaction that may further amplify the observed intensity. To fully comprehend this effect and its exclusion, we created the O-methyl derivative of our probe molecule 1 (Figure 4).  The desired compound 6 was synthesized in a three-step process. The Fenton re tion of compound 3 [17] gave compound 4 via methyl radical generation from DMS The Synthesis of the Methyl Derivative of Compound 1 (6) The desired compound 6 was synthesized in a three-step process. The Fenton reaction of compound 3 [17] gave compound 4 via methyl radical generation from DMSO, which gave compound 5 through a Suzuki coupling with pyrene-1-boronic acid. The desired 6 alcohol was achieved by the reduction of the ester 5 with LiAlH 4 .
We have made the preliminary examinations in the same manner as with nitroxide. The excitation wavelength had to be changed from 347.0 nm to 341.0 nm. Just as before, neither HSA nor cavitand 2 had shown considerable emission at this wavelength; however, ACN and water were more visible than in the previous experiment. Moreover, the emission peaks that were used for evaluation were changed to 433.0 nm based on the spectra of 6 ( Figure 5).

The increased intensity is notable in the solutions containing either HSA or cavitand 2, as this effect can be attributed to the nitroxide quenching effect not being present. Although it does not answer definitively to the supposed reaction of the nitroxide, it gives the pretense that this side reaction is not prevalent.
Via the Benesi-Hildebrand method, the complex stabilities of nitroxide 1 and compound 6 with HSA in the absence and in the presence of cavitand 2 have been calculated. Results reflect the formation of stable 1: HSA and 6: HSA complexes. Figure 6 and Table 1 summarize these results.

Measuring the Complex Stabilities by Fluorescence Polarization
The methods based on the change of PL intensities are associated with several uncertain aspects. One example is that the decrease in the PL intensity is probably induced by the interaction between the aromatic moiety of nitroxide 1 with the π-faces of the protein, which competes with the effect of removal of water molecules from the hydration shell of

One example is that the decrease in the PL intensity is probably induced by the interaction between the aromatic moiety of nitroxide 1 with the π-faces of the protein, which competes with the effect of removal of water molecules from the hydration shell of 1.
As a result of that, the PL intensities are increased. The dominant impact is the latter, while the other disturbs the measurements. To avoid any discrepancies, the fluorescence polarization of nitroxide 1 in the model applied above has been measured ( Figure 7). Similarly, as in the PL intensity studies, the concentration of nitroxide 1 was kept at 1 µM, while the concentration of HSA was varied from 0 µM up to 20 µM. Measurements were performed either in the absence or in the presence of 9.375 µM cavitand 2. To clarify the possible effect on the nitroxide reduction to hydroxylamine by the HSA, the measurements above have been repeated with compound 6.
The degree of polarization shows elevated values with increasing HSA concentration. This property highlights hindered rotation of the radical in the presence of HSA, suggesting considerable adsorption of nitroxide 1 onto the HSA surface. In both cases, when the nitroxide 1-HSA complex formed in the absence or in the presence of the cavitand 2, saturated solutions can be obtained above the 40 µM HSA concentration. The fluorescence polarization spectra were evaluated quantitatively by fitting Equation (5) to the data plotted  Figure 7. Stability constants derived either from the fluorescence intensity or degree of polarization data are summarized in Table 1. 1. As a result of that, the PL intensities are increased.

The results based on the fluorescence polarization measurements show higher complex stabilities compared to the stabilities derived from the PL intensities. However, both methods confirm enhanced adsorption of nitroxide 1 onto the surface of HSA in the presence of cavitand 2. Considering that our preliminary investigation cannot confirm the adsorption of parent cavitand 2 molecules onto the HSA, the enhanced adsorption of 1 in the presence of 2 is probably due to the reduced Coulomb repulsion between deprotonated OH group of 1 radical and the HSA by inclusion the charged moiety of the radical by the cavitand 2.
For comparison, we have measured the fluorescent polarization of compound 6 in the absence and presence of cavitand 2 with increasing concentrations of HSA.

Spectra were evaluated quantitatively by the same fitting method as before (Figure 8). Results derived either by the fluorescence or the polarization measurements highlight at least an order of magnitude difference in the stability constant of 1 upon the introduction of cavitand into the system. Much lower differences in the stabilities derived by the fluorescence intensity or polarization studies were obtained in complex formations acting by compound 6. This could be attributed to the effects of the nitroxide reduction to hydroxylamine by the HSA. The slight enhancement in the interactions of 6 with HSA shown by both the PL intensity and polarization measurements is probably due to the slight electron-releasing property of the methyl group. The uncharged OMe moiety of 6 itself results in weaker Coulomb repulsion toward the electron-rich binding site of the HSA compared to the case of the 1-HSA interactions. This behavior is also supported by the fact that the presence of the cavitand 2 does not improve the stability of the 6-HSA complexes with the same content as in the case of the formation of the 1-HSA complexes.

EPR Measurements
Due to the differences between the complex stabilities derived from the PL intensities and from the fluorescence polarization, the interaction was also examined by EPR spectroscopy. To set the appropriate composition of samples for EPR studies, the concentration of free nitroxide 1 was calculated from the stability constants summarized in Table 1 as a function of the concentration of HSA. Using Figure 9, the following four solutions have been prepared for EPR studies: sample 1: nitroxide 1 (10 µM); sample 2: nitroxide 1 (10 µM) + cavitand 2 (10 µM); sample 3: nitroxide 1 (10 µM) + HSA (100 µM); sample 4: nitroxide 1 (10 µM) + cavitand 2 (10 µM) + HSA (100 µM). Results are summarized in Figure 10.

Results are summarized in Figure 10.  The concentration of the unbound nitroxide fluorophore can be monitored and calculated on the basis of integrated peaks. This area is in linear relation with the concentration of the free nitroxide 1 radical. In agreement with the fluorescence and fluorescence polarization studies, the concentration of the free nitroxide molecules reduces slightly (with 16%) when only the HSA molecules are present in the samples. In contrast, the concentration of nitroxide 1 reduces by about 38% in cases when both the HSA and cavitand 2 are present in the samples.

Methods
Fluorimetric measurements were performed with a Fluorolog τ3 spectrofluorometer (Jobin-Yvon/SPEX, Longjumeau, France). Fluorescence spectra were recorded using 347.0 and 341.0 nm excitation wavelengths to NO and OMe compounds, respectively. The emission values obtained at 387.5 and 433.0 nm were used for data evaluation. For data collection, the photon counting method with 0.1 s integration time was used. Excitation and emission bandwidths were set to 5 nm. To avoid the inner filter effect, a 2 mm thickness of the fluorescent probes with right-angle detection was applied.
To determine the thermodynamic parameters associated with the complexation reaction of the NO and HSA both in the absence and presence of TDC, samples with a constant concentration of NO (1 µM) and TDC (9.375 µM) with different concentrations of HSA (0-100 µM) were prepared in ACN:distilled water (1:9) solution and measured immediately using 347.0 nm excitation wavelength at 298.15 K.
A MiniScope MS 200 (Magnettech GmbH, Berlin, Germany) spectroscope was utilized to detect the produced free radicals and to examine the NO's complexation. The amplitude of the EPR signal is proportional to the number of unpaired electrons present in the sample, facilitating the quantification of free radicals [19]. The amplitudes were determined using the MiniScopeCtrl software. The following EPR settings were applied for all experiments: B0-field: 335.9723 mT, range: 10.0485 mT, sweep time: 30.0 s, modulation: 0.300 mT, and microwave attenuation: 15.0 dB. All measurements were carried out at room temperature (298 K).
The mass spectra were recorded with a GCMS-2020 (Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan) operated in EI mode (70 eV) and a ThermoScientific Q-Extractive HPLC/MS/MS with ESI(+) ionization (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). 1 H-NMR spectra were recorded with Bruker Avance 3 Ascend 500 system (Bruker, BioSpin Corp., Karlsruhe, Germany) operated at 500 MHz, and 13 C-NMR spectra were obtained at 125 MHz in CDCl 3 at 298 K. IR spectra were obtained with a Bruker Alpha FT-IR instrument (Bruker Optics, Ettlingen, Germany) with ATR support on a diamond plate. All spectra are shown in the Supplementary Material, Figures S1-S3.

Data Evaluation
Stability constants (K, dm 3 /mol) of NO-HSA complexes were calculated using the Benesi-Hildebrand equation, assuming 1:1 complex stoichiometry: where I 0 and I are the fluorescence emission intensities of NO in the absence and in the presence of the host, respectively; [HSA] is the molar concentration of the host molecule, while [NO] is a constant. The degree of fluorescence polarization, which was calculated as where I VV and I VH are intensities of vertically and horizontally polarized emissions, respectively, and G is the measured instrument factor. Fluorescence polarization values depend on the rotational freedom of the excited molecules (NO in our experiments), therefore directly mirroring microenvironment-related molecular motions such as binding of the tested fluorophore to a macromolecule. For calculating the degree of polarization, 100 measuring points were averaged. The polarization-based approach was performed, and the binding parameters were determined similarly as had been described earlier by Poór et al. [20]: where α is the bound fraction of the toxin, P is the measured polarization, and P f and P b are fluorescence polarization values of free and bound NO, respectively. Polarization value of the free nitroxide fluorophore (P f ) in ACN:water was determined when only 1 µM NO was present in the solution without albumin. Additionally, the P b value was measured using 1 µM NO and 60 µM HSA (HSA being above the saturating concentration). Furthermore: where ε b and ε f are the molar absorptivities of bound and free toxin, Φ b and Φ f are the fluorescent quantum yields of the bound and free NO. Using Equation (2), the polarization can be expressed as a function of α, P f , P b and θ: The bound fraction of the nitroxide fluorophore, α can be expressed as the concentra- Inserting Equation (7) into the expression of α in Equation (6), then inserting into Equation (5), the polarization of the system can be expressed as a function of HSA concentration. Therefore, the stability constant of the NO-HSA interaction can be determined by nonlinear fitting of Equation (5) to the experimental data.

Conclusions
In this work, the interactions between 3-hydroxymethyl-1-oxyl-4-(pyren-1-yl)-2,2,5,5tetramethyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole radical (1) and the human serum albumin molecules have been investigated by fluorescence, fluorescence polarization, and EPR methods. Results confirm the formation of stable complexes of nitroxide 1 with HSA. The presence of a cavitand derivative 2 enhances the complex formation. PL and PL polarization measurements reflect a slight enhancement in the interactions of compound 6 (the diamagnetic derivative of 1) with HSA. Considering the slight electron-releasing property of the methyl group, the uncharged OMe moiety of 6 itself results in weaker Coulomb repulsion toward the electron-rich binding site of the HSA compared to the case of the 1-HSA interactions. This behavior is supported also by the fact that the presence of the cavitand 2 does not improve the stability of the 6-HSA complexes with the same content as in the case of the formation of the 1-HSA complexes. Considering the broad applications of EPR imaging techniques for mapping living bodies, the model investigated here serves as a test system application of cavitands, improving the sensitivity of EPR imaging in tissues. Results also confirm that the double-sensor probes (spin and fluorescent) can be applied in protein analysis and also in complex systems. With appropriate double-sensor molecules, biological interactions on the molecular scale could be studied in parallel.
