Abstract
Three coumarin-derived fluorescent probes, 3-acetyl-7-(6-bromohexyl)oxy-2H-chromen-2-one (FM1), 7-(6-bromohexyl)oxy-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (FM2) and ethyl 2-7-(6-bromohexyl)oxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-ylacetate (FM3), are described, with their photophysical constants. The compounds were tested in preliminary studies employing epifluorescence microscopy demonstrating that they allow the imaging of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell membranes. The structure of FM3 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to characterize the localization and interactions of the studied compounds with a lipid bilayer model of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC).
