We report the synthesis of three optical probes (Eu3+subset of 1, Eu3+subset of 2, and Eu3+subset of 3) having a luminescent Eu complex (signaling unit) bonded in different positions to folic acid (FA), the folate receptor (FR) targeting unit. The structures of the two regioisomers Eu3+subset of 1 and Eu3+subset of 2 were assigned by mass spectrometric experiments. The optical properties and stability of these probes were assessed in phosphate-buffered saline, cell culture medium, rat serum, and cellular lysate, and results indicated that they are chemically and photophysically stable. Cytotoxicity was studied with ovarian cancer cells having high (SKOV-3), intermediate (OVCAR-3), low (IGROV-1), or null (A2780) expression of FRs. The internalized probe, evaluated in SKOV-3, IGROV-1, and A2780 cells, was in the order Eu3+subset of 2 > Eu3+subset of 1 > Eu3+subset of 3. No internalization was observed for A2780 cells. Such results, together with those obtained in competition experiments of FA versus Eu3+subset of 2 and FA or Eu3+subset of 2 versus H-3-FA, indicate that internalization is receptor-mediated and that Eu3+subset of 2 shows high selectivity and specificity for FR.
