Abstract：
:A photostable Ru(2,2-biquinoline)2(3-(2-pyridyl)-5-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazolate) (Ru(biq)2(trzbenzCOOH)) complex that exhibits near-infrared (NIR) emission centred at 786 nm is reported. The parent complex was conjugated via amide coupling to a cell-penetrating peptide sequence octa-arginine (R8), and two signal peptide sequences; the nuclear localizing sequence (NLS) VQRKRQKLMP and the mitochondria penetrating peptide (MPP) FrFKFrFK(Ac) (r = D isomer of arginine, Ac = terminal lysine amine acetyl blocked). Notably, none of the peptide conjugates were cell-permeable as chloride salts but efficient and rapid membrane permeation was observed post ion exchange with perchlorate counterion. Also, surprisingly, all three peptide conjugates exhibited potent dark cytotoxicity in both CHO and HeLa cell lines. The peptide conjugates induce cell death through a caspase dependent apoptotic pathway. At the minimum concentration of dye (approx. 15 μM) required for cell imaging, only 20% of the cells were viable after a 24 h incubation period. To overcome cytotoxicity, the parent complex was PEGylated; this dramatically decreased cytotoxicity, where 50% of cells were viable even at 150 μM concentration after 24 h. Confocal luminescence microscopy indicated that all four bioconjugates, peptides in perchlorate form and polyethylene glycol (PEG) in chloride form, were rapidly internalized within the cell. However, interestingly the precise localisation by the signal peptides observed in related complexes was not observed here and the peptide conjugates were unsuitable as luminescent probes for cell microscopy due to their high cell toxicity. The poor targeting of signal peptides in this instance is attributed to the high lipophilicity of the metal centre.
