Background
Drug allergy is one of the clinically common adverse drug reactions, and can cause shock or death in severe cases, wherein the anaphylactoid reaction accounts for more than 70% of the drug allergy. The G protein-coupled receptor MrgX2 expressed in mast cells was shown to be closely related to the development of anaphylactoid reactions. Multiple endogenous bioactive peptides can activate MrgX2 in organisms, so that complex physiological regulation or allergic diseases in the organisms are caused; exogenous peptide drugs, micromolecular drugs, components in traditional Chinese medicine injection and the like can also activate mast cells through MrgX2 in clinical application, so that drug anaphylactic reaction is initiated, and the incidence rate of adverse reaction in clinical application is increased. Therefore, the MrgX2 and the ligand thereof have important meanings in allergic diseases and adverse drug reactions.
In pharmaceutical research, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and ultraviolet spectroscopy are basic techniques for performing pharmaceutical analysis. Various highly sensitive fluorescence assays, which have been developed in succession in particular in recent years, have been used effectively in the analysis of drugs in pharmaceutical preparations and in biological fluids since the 70 s of the 20 th century. For example, the synchronous scanning fluorescence technology can be used for measuring the amphetamine and the morphine plus quinine in contraband; the fluorescence polarization immunoassay method can be used for detecting various medicaments such as gentamicin, dibenzein, theophylline, pentobarbital, phenobarbital and the like in serum, and can also be used for carrying out pharmacokinetic research on the netilmicin in a burn patient; specific fluorescence polarization immunoassay can be used to monitor the whole blood concentration of cyclosporin a after kidney transplantation; the fluorescence quenching method is used for measuring the content of matrine and oxymatrine; the solid surface fluorometry is used for clinical fluorometric analysis of theophylline in serum and other antibacterial drugs, antiasthmatic drugs, anti-convulsion drugs and the like; measuring the content of carbamazepine in the tablet by an electrolytic fluorescence photometry method, and the like. Among them, the fluorescent probe technology has been developed as an important means for performing real-time detection at a molecular level by means of a fluorescent microscope. The technology has high sensitivity and strong visibility, and has little interference to the studied biological macromolecules or cells, thereby being widely applied.
The response of the molecular fluorescent probe to metal ions, biological micromolecules and biological macromolecules enables people to detect the concentration of molecules or ions in living cells and the change process of the structure of the biological macromolecules in real time by using a fluorescence microscope and a fluorescence spectrum, particularly a fluorescence imaging technology. Over the years, GPCR ligands with fluorescent properties have been widely used to localize receptor distribution and enable real-time monitoring of processes triggered by ligand-receptor interactions (e.g., internalization, transport, sequestration, and recovery). Since the ligand binding domain of GPCR is usually a high viscosity and low polarity environment, the development of environment-sensitive GPCR fluorescent ligand is more important. Fluorescent ligands with environmental sensitivity are very sensitive to changes in the physicochemical properties of the surrounding environment, showing weak fluorescence in aqueous solution, but can release bright fluorescence at low polarity or when bound to hydrophobic domains in cells. However, there have been no reports to date on the detection of small molecule fluorescent probes that detect the distribution of MrgX2 on the cell surface. In view of the advantages of high sensitivity, high selectivity, and rapid response of small molecule fluorescent probes, there is an urgent need to develop a convenient fluorescent ligand to track MrgX2 for further understanding its physiological and pathological functions.

2) Measurement of fluorescence spectrum of analyte
The fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of the above stock solutions were measured using a spectrophotometer model F-4500. The concentration of the analyte was adjusted to 4.0 × 10 before the test using PBS (pH 7.4) as a solvent according to the concentration of the stock solution-6mol/L、2.0×10- 6mol/L and 1.0X 10-6mol/L.

The fluorescence excitation spectrum (left) and emission spectrum (right) of ZX1 are shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and (b), in which the abscissa is the wavelength and the ordinate is the relative fluorescence intensity. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the fluorescence excitation intensity and emission intensity of ZX1 increased with the increase of concentration. The maximum excitation wavelength is 437nm, and the maximum emission wavelength is 482 nm.
Calcium mobilization activity studies with small molecule fluorescent probes targeting mast cell MrgX2 receptors the specific steps were as follows:
1) a suspension of MrgX2-HEK293 cells at an appropriate concentration was mixed and seeded into 96-well plates at 100. mu.L per well. The inoculated cells were incubated at 37 ℃ with 5% CO2Culturing for 24h under saturated humidity condition to make it adhere to the wall.
2) Before measurement, CIB buffer solution is preheated in advance in 37 ℃ water bath, the culture medium is discarded from the cells after adherence, and the cells are washed for 2 times by the preheated CIB. Adding 100 mu L (5 mu M) Fluo-3 calcium ion probe dye into each hole under the condition of keeping out of the sun, and placing the mixture in an incubator for incubation for 30 min;
3) after the incubation is finished, discarding the incubation liquid, adding a CIB buffer solution to wash for 2 times, and adding 50 mu L of CIB into each hole;
6) standing for 5min, sequentially adding 50 μ L of ZX1 with different concentrations into each well under a fluorescence microscope, and measuring the difference of fluorescence intensity of cells before and after addition.
The activity difference of ZX1 and the positive drug for activating the MrgX2 receptor is examined by a calcium mobilization experiment by taking (R) -ZINC-3573 as a positive control. Results as in fig. 2 (a) and (b), both positive compounds and ZX1 can cause activation of MrgX2 receptor to trigger an increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration. However, fromStructural differences, leading to differences in the activating abilities of the two compounds, (R) -ZINC-3573 and ZX1 activate MrgX2 calcium mobilised EC50The values were 0.622. + -. 0.12. mu.M and 2.609. + -. 0.588. mu.M, respectively. It was shown that the introduction of a fluorophore in the (R) -ZINC-3573 structure resulted in a reduction of about 4-fold in its activity.
The specific steps of a cell imaging study with a fluorescent probe targeting the mast cell MrgX2 receptor are as follows:
1) centrifuging human primary mast cells, MrgX2-HEK293 cells and HMC-1 cells, diluting with PBS, mixing, inoculating into confocal imaging cell culture dish (20000 cells/dish), standing at 37 deg.C and 5% CO2Culturing in a constant temperature incubator overnight.
2) Before photographing, ZX1 was diluted to the corresponding concentration with PBS, added to a cell culture dish, and placed at 37 ℃ in 5% CO2Culturing in constant temperature incubator for 5 min. After the incubation, the cells were examined for image formation under a confocal laser microscope (63 × objective).
The human primary mast cell MrgX2 has higher expression, while the mast cell line HMC-1 cell has no MrgX2 expression basically. To examine the targeting effect of ZX1 on MrgX2 receptors in mast cells, imaging experiments of ZX1 on human primary mast cells and MrgX2 transfected HEK293 cells were performed with HMC-1 cells as negative controls. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, it can be seen that the background fluorescence of the ZX1 fluorescent probe is very weak, and that the living cells can be imaged without washing. When the probe is combined with human primary mast cells and MrgX2-HEK293 cells, bright green fluorescence is displayed, and HMC-1 cells cannot be stained, so that the selectivity of the probe on an MrgX2 receptor is proved. Cell imaging experiment results show that ZX1 can be used as an environment-sensitive small-molecule fluorescent probe to realize real-time dynamic monitoring of MrgX2 receptors, so that the probe is used for the visual research of the receptors.
The application of the small-molecule fluorescent probe targeting the MrgX2 receptor of the mast cell in MrgX2 competitive ligand screening is demonstrated.

The phenyl-substituted pyrazolopyrimidine derivative of the invention retains agonistic activity on the MrgX2 receptor, while the indicative fluorescence is emitted by a fluorescent chromophore. The fluorescent probe disclosed by the invention not only keeps the activation activity on the MrgX2 receptor, but also has certain fluorescence property. As a targeting tool molecule, the fluorescent probe can directly act with mast cell cells, and can be used for the visualization research and the drug screening research of a receptor through the change of the fluorescence property.
