Synthesis and Evaluation of Europium Complexes that Switch on Luminescence in Lysosomes of Living Cells

A set of four luminescent Eu(III) complexes bearing an extended aryl‐alkynylpyridine chromophore has been studied, showing very different pH‐dependent behaviour in their absorption and emission spectral response. For two complexes with pK (a) values of 6.45 and 6.20 in protein‐containing solution, t...

description A set of four luminescent Eu(III) complexes bearing an extended aryl‐alkynylpyridine chromophore has been studied, showing very different pH‐dependent behaviour in their absorption and emission spectral response. For two complexes with pK (a) values of 6.45 and 6.20 in protein‐containing solution, the emission lifetime increases very significantly following protonation. By varying the gate time during signal acquisition, the ‘switch‐on’ intensity ratio could be optimised, and enhancement factors of between 250 to 1330 were measured between pH 8 and 4. The best‐behaved probe showed no significant emission dependence on the concentration of endogenous cations, reductants, and serum albumin. It was examined in live‐cell imaging studies to monitor time‐dependent lysosomal acidification, for which the increase in observed image brightness due to acidification was a factor of 50 in NIH‐3T3 cells.
