Synthesis and evaluation of D-thioluciferin, a bioluminescent 6'-thio analog of Dluciferin

All known light-emitting firefly-bioluminescent luciferin analogs are either derived from the 6'-hydroxy- and/or 6'-aminoluciferin. We report the synthesis of D-thioluciferin, a 6'-thio analog or isostere of D-luciferin, starting from p-aminothiophenol, using a unique thioacrylate-S-protecting-group strategy. Upon treatment of Dthioluciferin with purified Photinus pyralis (Ppy) luciferase (Luc), a bioluminescence emission with a red-shift λmax relative to D-luciferin was observed. It was also shown that disulphide and sulphide analogs of Dthioluciferin did not produce similar bioluminescences relative to D-thioluciferin when treated with Ppy Luc under standard conditions, thus, providing a foundation for the development of D-thioluciferin based probes based on disulphide reduction and S-dealkylation.

Disulfur dichloride reacts with acetonitrile via chloro- and dichloroacetonitrile to give finally 4,5-dichloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium chloride (1).The reactivity of 1 with proton-active compounds is determined by the nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine at carbon atom C-5.Substrates like H2O, H2S, primary amines, and sulfonamides, having two active hydrogen atoms, form the covalent 4-chloro-5H-1,2,3-dithiazole derivatives 2, 3, 5. 1 reacts with phenols in o- or p-position by an electrophilic attack to form 4-chloro-5-(hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,3-dithiazolium chlorides 9a - d.HCl elimination from these leads to deep violet, metallic-reflecting crystals of the betaine-like neutral molecules 10a, b.X-ray analysis shows a planar structure of 10a and a molecular arrangement of a right and a left helix.Ring cleavage of 1 with chlorine gives compounds 14, 15; correspondingly, 2 reacts with chlorine to yield 2-chloro-2-(chlorothioimino)acetyl chloride (18).
