Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with the production and use of polymers based on terthiophene compounds for sensing molecules in solution. Changes in the properties of conductive terthiophene polymers as a result of binding of ligands to specific receptor sites on sidechains form the basis for sensitive biosensors.
  • Conductometric sensors function by detecting the change in conductivity of the polymers, bound to a suitable film. The resistance between two adjacent microelectrodes is measured as a function of the concentration of analyte.
  • a potentiometric system may be used, in which changes in the system's redox potential in response to analyte binding are recorded.
  • One advantage to this approach is that it requires only one recording electrode, which may be incorporated in to the substrate film onto which the conducting polymers are bound. Colorimetric methods (depending on changes in the polymer's absorption properties) and changes in fluorescence properties may also be used as the basis of detection techniques.
  • Polythiophenes are particularly suitable since they respond to binding events with measurable changes in their electrical, redox and optical properties. This is because they are semiconductors with a comparatively small bandgap, and they can be p- doped at modest positive potentials. Moreover, 3-functionalised thiophenes are readily prepared, polythiophenes are accessible both chemically and electrochemically (Roncali, 1999) and, unlike polypyrroles, polythiophenes are stable in both their neutral and p-doped states. The electrogeneration of polythiophene films from thiophenes often requires highly positive potentials, which may degrade delicate functional groups.
  • Such systems may be used for the detection of a wide range of molecules, but are particularly suitable for specific detection of soluble ligands by cognate receptors. Sequence-specific binding and detection of nucleic acids by complementary single- stranded oligonucleotides linked to a biosensing apparatus is a particularly important application, but a wide variety of polypeptide receptors, antibodies or fragments thereof, or entirely synthetic chemical receptors have been used.
  • WO 03/024954 discloses a 3'-carboxyl terthiophene compound and its polymerisation with the subsequent covalent attachment of a single-stranded oligonucleotide via the 3'-carboxyl side chain.
  • electrochemically polymerised chains are irregular and poorly-characterised, giving relatively poor and inconsistent performance as biosensors.
  • polymerisation from pure functionalised monomers is expensive and unnecessary, since the resulting poorly defined high density of receptor-bearing sidechains is inefficient.
  • the invention provides a novel compound, succinic acid mono-(2- [2,2';5',2"]terthiophen-3'-yl-ethyl) ester, and a functionalised conductive polythiophene polymer derived from this compound. Also provided is an improved method of synthesising derivatised polymers capable of specifically binding soluble ligands.
  • the method comprises the steps of covalently attaching a receptor moiety and suitable spacer to the carboxyl-terminated ester monomers, copolymerising such receptor-bearing monomers with varied proportions of underivatised monomers to produce defined polymers with a defined density of receptor side-chains.
  • the invention provides an improved method of polymerising regioregular polythiophene, so as to produce a defined mixture of receptor-bearing and underivatised monomers so as to produce a regioregular array of receptors in a conducting polymer, attached to a solid substrate by solvent casting, suitable for use as a biosensor.
  • Preferred receptor moieties include single-stranded oligonucleotides, antibodies or functional antigen-binding fragments of antibodies, recombinant polypeptide receptor molecules, such as growth factor receptors, immunoglobulin superfamily receptors, integrins or lectins or functional ligand-binding fragments thereof.
  • Non-peptide receptors based on carbohydrates may also be used.
  • a high-affinity but non-specific synthetic receptor may be used, for example avidin or streptavidin, enabling detection of experimentally biotinylated molecules to be detected. This may be of use both as a means of detecting and purifying such biotinylated molecules but also as a model system for characterising and developing biosensor systems.
  • a biotin-bearing receptor may be used to detect avidin or avidin-containing molecules or complexes.
  • said functional ligand-binding receptor moiety is selected from the list consisting of single-stranded oligonucleotides, antibodies or functional antigen- binding fragments of antibodies, recombinant polypeptide receptor molecules or functional ligand-binding fragments thereof, biotin, avidin and streptavidin.
  • the functional ligand-binding receptor moiety may be linked to the polythiophene backbone of the polymer by a linker of variable length.
  • the linker contains from 5 to 20 in-chain atoms.
  • the in-chain atoms may, by way of example, be C, O, N or S, e.g. C or O. Included is a class of formulations in which all the in-chain atoms are all carbon. In one class of compounds there are 0, 1 , 2 or 3 in-chain atoms which are not carbon, e.g. 1 such non-carbon atom, and in a sub-class of compounds all these non-carbon in-chain atoms are oxygen.
  • non-carbon atoms are directly bonded to carbon atoms on either side of them in the chain, e.g. to form an ether linkage (typically -CH2-O-
  • L may be an alkylene group; in some instances it is an alkenylene group.
  • the in-chain bonds of the linker are typically double or single bonds; included is a class of compounds in which all the in-chain bonds are single bonds or are all single except one double bond.
  • the linker is unsubstituted; alternatively the linker may be substituted, for example each in-chain atom may have at least one substituent or, more frequently, the linker contains fewer substituent groups than in-chain atoms. In one class of compounds, no in-chain atom contains more than one substituent. Included are compounds in which the linker has 1 , 2 or 3 substituents, e.g. 1 substituent.
