This article reports the first ratiometric sensor for carboxylesterase (CE) activity using Raman spectroscopy based on a bisarylbutadiyne scaffold. The sensor showed high sensitivity and specificity for CE detection with low cellular cytotoxicity. It was successfully used for ratiometric detection of esterase activity in hepatocyte cells and detection of localized ultraviolet damage in a mixed cell population using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy coupled with spectral phasor analysis.
Carboxylesterases (CEs) are a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of esters in a variety of endogenous and exogenous molecules. CEs play an important role in drug metabolism, in the onset and progression of disease, and can be harnessed for prodrug activation strategies. As such, the regulation of CEs is an important clinical and pharmaceutical consideration. Here, we report the first ratiometric sensor for CE activity using Raman spectroscopy based on a bisarylbutadiyne scaffold. The sensor was shown to be highly sensitive and specific for CE detection and had low cellular cytotoxicity. In hepatocyte cells, the ratiometric detection of esterase activity was possible, and the result was validated by multimodal imaging with standard viability stains used for fluorescence microscopy within the same cell population. In addition, we show that the detection of localized ultraviolet damage in a mixed cell population was possible using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy coupled with spectral phasor analysis. This sensor demonstrates the practical advantages of low molecular weight sensors that are detected using ratiometric Raman imaging and will have applications in drug discovery and biomedical research.
