Abstract Details

2016, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Bowling Green State University, Photochemical Sciences.
This work presents supramolecular fluorescent probes capable of specific detection of carbonic anhydrases (CAs), a biologically and clinically important family of metalloenzymes implicated in certain pathological health conditions in humans. The probes, comprising 1,3,4-thiadiazol-5-yl-2-sulfonamide high-affinity moiety, were employed in fluorescence titrations with CAs and showed highly variable analyte-dependent change in fluorescence intensity. Moreover, the probes were utilized in competitive fluorescence-based assay to investigate affinity of model carbonic anhydrase inhibitors towards CAs. The probes were utilized in a competitive sensor array using simple instrumentation under high throughput screening settings. The excellent capability of recognizing a large number of structurally distinct CAIs at various concentrations was demonstrated in qualitative as well as quantitative assays. The throughput, sensitivity and limit of detection surpass the current state-of-the-art methods that generally require enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based protocols and/or computational modeling. This study opens a new avenue for the development of simple high-throughput assays for the drug development and drugs candidates structure optimization in the near future. To the best of our knowledge, this study presents the first supramolecular fluorescence-based assay for carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
