尼羅紅 (染料)

化合物

尼羅紅(英語:Nile red),又稱尼羅藍噁嗪酮(英語:Nile blue oxazone)是一種親脂性染料。可將細胞內的脂滴染成黃色。在大多數極性溶劑中,尼羅紅不會發出熒光;然而在富含脂質的環境中,它會發出強烈的熒光,顏色從深紅色(極性膜脂質)到強烈的黃金色(細胞內儲存的非極性脂質)不等。尼羅紅具有溶劑化顯色特性,其激發波長和發射波長隨溶劑極性變化而變化[1],在極性介質中幾乎不會發出熒光[2]

尼羅紅在細胞生物學中常作為膜的染色劑,其激發與發射波長與紅色熒光蛋白相同,利用熒光顯微鏡可觀察到其熒光效應。尼羅紅還被用作瓶裝水中微塑料的靈敏檢測所需試劑[3][4]。此外,尼羅紅是製造用於檢測環境變化(如氣味、氣體、pH值等)的不同傳感器膜的候選材料[5]

三酸甘油酯(非極性脂質)中,尼羅紅的最大激發波長約為515 nm(綠色),最大發射波長約為585 nm(黃橙色)[6]。相反,在磷脂(極性脂質)中最大激發波長為554 nm(綠色),最大發射波長為638 nm(紅色)[7]

在乙醇中,尼羅紅的擴散係數為470 μm2/s.[8]

合成

編輯

尼羅紅可以通過尼羅藍與硫酸沸煮水解,尼羅藍中亞胺離子基團被羰基取代轉變成尼羅紅[9]。尼羅紅與其同系物(萘並噁嗪染料)也可以通過5-二烷基氨基-2-亞硝基苯酚與2-萘酚經酸催化縮合得到。此反應不使用共氧化劑,因此產量通常適中[10]。由於生成尼羅紅的反應通常不會完全耗盡尼羅藍,因此則需要額外的分離步驟來獲得純尼羅紅。
