STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT
[0002] Not applicable.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] 1. Field of the Invention
[0004] The present invention relates to the detection of glucose in samples which may also contain potential interfering compounds, such as α-hydroxy acids or β-diketones.
[0005] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0006] The complexation of carbohydrates, including glucose, with phenylboronic acid has been known for a long time and the reversibility of that interaction has served as a basis for the chromatographic separation of sugars. Specifically, in 1959, Lorand and Edwards reported association constants for aqueous associations of phenylboronic acid with many saturated polyols; binding interactions ranged from very weak (e.g., ethylene glycol, Kd=360 mM) to moderately strong (e.g., glucose, Kd=9.1 mM). See J. Yoon, et al., Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry 1 (4):267–71 (1993). The binding mechanism is believed to occur through bonding of adjacent hydroxyl groups on glucose to hydroxyl groups on a boronate moiety.
[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 5,503,770 (James, et al.) describes a fluorescent boronic acid-containing compound that emits fluorescence of a high intensity upon binding to saccharides, including glucose. The fluorescent compound has a molecular structure comprising a fluorophore, at least one phenylboronic acid moiety and at least one amine-providing nitrogen atom where the nitrogen atom is disposed in the vicinity of the phenylboronic acid moiety so as to interact intramolecularly with the boronic acid. Such interaction thereby causes the compound to emit fluorescence upon saccharide binding. See also T. James, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 117 (35):8982–87 (1995).
[0008] Additionally, fluorescent sensors using an anthrylboronic acid-containing compound for detecting blood glucose are known in the art. For example, J. Yoon, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 114:5874–5875 (1992) describe that anthrylboronic acid can be used as a fluorescent chemosensor for signaling carbohydrate binding, including binding of glucose and fructose.
[0009] Unfortunately, compounds which interact with glucose in the manner described above also have a tendency to interact with other compounds having hydroxyl groups, thus reducing the specificity of a glucose assay, especially when assaying physiological samples which may contain interfering amounts of lactate, acetoacetate, etc. For example, some diabetic patients also develop lactic acidosis, in which blood lactate levels are greater than 5 mmol/liter. Thus, there remains a great need for glucose assays which are relatively insensitive to potentially interfering hydroxyl compounds, such as lactate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0039] In one aspect, the present invention provides a way to detect the presence or concentration of glucose in a sample which may also contain interfering compounds, such as α-hydroxy acids or β-diketones. Such potentially interfering compounds include lactate, acetoacetate, β-hydroxy butyric acid, etc.
[0040] The present invention is carried out using an indicator compound which is capable of recognizing glucose in a sample, but which is less likely to recognize interfering compounds in the sample. The indicator compound has at least two recognition elements for glucose, oriented such that the interaction between the indicator compound and glucose is more stable than the interaction between the indicator compound and the interfering compounds.
[0041] Suitable recognition elements include moieties which are capable of a preferably reversible interaction with glucose, especially with the diol groups present in glucose. Several such recognition elements are known, and preferably include boronic acid, boronate ion, arsenious acid, arsenite ion, telluric acid, tellurate ion, germanic acid, germanate ion, etc. Most preferred are recognition elements containing boron. It will be understood that until use, the recognition elements may be capped with a protecting group. Such groups are well known, and include neopentyl glycol, pinacol, etc. In certain embodiments, the capped recognition element is decapped in the medium in which the compound is to be used (see, e.g., Example 5).
[0042] The recognition elements are preferably spaced on the indicator compound a suitable distance from each other so as to allow at least two of the recognition elements to interact with a glucose molecule, resulting in increased specificity. In general, the recognition elements may have a spacer of up to about 30 atoms between them. Preferably, the recognition elements are oriented such that they are capable of being about 6 Å apart when interacting with glucose.
[0043] The indicator compounds of the present invention have a detectable quality that changes in a concentration-dependent manner when the compound is exposed to a sample containing glucose. Many such qualities are known and may be used in the present invention. For example, the indicator compound may include a luminescent (fluorescent or phosphorescent) or chemiluminescent moiety, an absorbance based moiety, etc. The indicator compound may include an energy donor moiety and an energy acceptor moiety, each spaced such that there is a detectable change when the indicator compound interacts with glucose. The indicator compound may include a fluorophore and a quencher, configured such that the fluorophore is quenched by the quencher when glucose is absent. In that situation, when glucose is present, the indicator undergoes a configurational change which causes the quencher to move sufficiently distant from the fluorophore so that fluorescence is emitted. Conversely, the fluorophore and quencher may be configured such that in the absence of glucose, they are sufficiently separated and the fluorophore emits fluorescence; upon interaction with glucose, the fluorophore and quencher are moved in sufficient proximity to cause quenching. The configurational change concept is described in more detail in our co-pending application Ser. No. 09/754,219, filed Jan. 5, 2001, entitled “Detection of Analytes”, incorporated herein by reference.
[0044] Alternatively, the indicator may include a moiety such as a fluorophore capable of interacting with the recognition element or another moiety spatially disposed with respect to the recognition element such that in the absence of glucose, the fluorophore emits fluorescence. Upon addition of glucose, the glucose competes with the interaction between the fluorophore and the recognition element, or the interaction between the fluorophore and the other moiety spatially disposed with respect to the recognition element, causing a reduction in fluorescence. An example of that concept is illustrated in Example 6. It will also be recognized that the indicator may be chosen such that the fluorophore emits no fluorescence, or a relatively low level of fluorescence, when the fluorophore interacts with the recognition element or another moiety spatially disposed with respect to the recognition element in the absence of glucose. Upon addition of glucose, the glucose competes with the interaction between the fluorophore and the recognition element, or the interaction between the fluorophore and the other moiety spatially disposed with respect to the recognition element, causing an increase in fluorescence.
[0045] Other detectable moieties include those whose fluorescence is affected by glucose interaction via photoinduced electron transfer or inductive effects. These include the lanthanide chelates disclosed in copending U.S. application Ser. No. 09/265,979 filed Mar. 11, 1999 (and published as PCT International Application WO 99/46600 on Sep. 16, 1999), incorporated herein by reference; polyaromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives; coumarins; BoDiPy; dansyl; catechols; etc. Another class of moieties include those whose absorbance spectrum changes upon interaction of the indicator compound with glucose, including Alizarin Red, etc. Another class of moieties include those whose fluorescence is modulated by proximity effects, e.g., energy donor/acceptor pairs such as dansyl/dabsyl, etc.
[0046] Preferably, the detectable quality is a detectable spectral change, such as changes in absorptive characteristics (e.g., absorbtivity and/or spectral shift), in fluorescent decay time (determined by time domain or frequency domain measurement), fluorescent intensity, fluorescent anisotropy or polarization; a spectral shift of the emission spectrum; a change in time-resolved anisotropy decay (determined by time domain or frequency domain measurement), etc.
[0047] The indicator compounds of the present invention, if soluble, may be used directly in solution if so desired. On the other hand, if the desired application so requires, the indicator compounds may be immobilized (such as by mechanical entrapment or covalent or ionic attachment) onto or within an insoluble surface or matrix such as glass, plastic, polymeric materials, etc. When the indicator compound is entrapped within, for example, another polymer, the entrapping material preferably should be sufficiently permeable to glucose to allow suitable interaction between glucose and the indicator compound.
[0048] If the indicator compounds are sparingly soluble or insoluble in water, yet detection in an aqueous medium is desired, the indicator compound may be co-polymerized with a hydrophilic monomer to form a hydrophilic macromolecule as described in co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 09/632,624, filed Aug. 4, 2000, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0049] Preferred indicator compounds have the following structure:
[0050]
wherein:
wherein:
-
- [0051] R1 and R2 are the same or different and are selected from the following: i) hydrogen; ii) a substituent to modify the pKa and hydrolytic stability of the R8 moiety, iii) a detectable moiety, or iv) a linking group capable of attachment to a solid support or a polymeric matrix, said support or matrix optionally containing a detectable moiety;
- [0052] R3 is hydrogen or a linking group capable of attachment to a solid support or a polymeric matrix, said support or matrix optionally containing a detectable moiety;
- [0053] R4 and R5 are the same or different and are selected from the following: i) hydrogen, ii) a substituent to modify the pKa and hydrolytic stability of the R8 moiety, iii) a detectable moiety, or iv) a linking group capable of attachment to a solid support or a polymeric matrix, said support or matrix optionally containing a detectable moiety;
- [0054] each Z is independently carbon or nitrogen;
- [0055] R6 and R7 are the same or different and are i) linking groups having from zero to ten contiguous or branched carbon and/or heteroatoms, or ii) a linking group capable of attachment to a solid support or a polymeric matrix, said support or matrix optionally containing a detectable moiety;
- [0056] R is selected from the following: i) an aliphatic and/or aromatic spacer containing from 1 to 10 contiguous atoms selected from the group consisting of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus, ii) a detectable moiety, or iii) a linking group capable of attachment to a solid support or a polymeric matrix, said support or matrix optionally containing a detectable moiety;
- [0057] each R8 is the same or different and is an optionally protected moiety which when unprotected is capable of interaction with the vicinal diol groups present in glucose; and
- [0058] R9 and R10 are the same or different, and are i) hydrogen, ii) a detectable moiety, iii) a group which is a) a linking group capable of attachment to a solid support or a polymeric matrix, said support or matrix optionally containing a detectable moiety, and/or b) includes a functional group capable of altering the physical properties of the compound;
with the proviso that the indicator compound contains at least one detectable moiety associated therewith, either directly or as part of the solid support or polymeric matrix.
[0059] Suitable groups for modifying the pKa and hydrolytic stability of the R8 moieties would be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill, and include groups such as halogen; nitro; amino; halogen substituted alkyl; optionally substituted carboxyl; acyl; keto; nitrile; amide; ester; alkoxy; etc.
[0060] Suitable linking groups for any substituent may include groups from about 1 to about 20 contiguous atoms, which may be branched or substituted and which may include one or more heteroatoms, which terminate in a functional group capable of further reaction or attachment to a polymer or support. Examples of suitable linking groups include alkyl; aryl; acyl; polyamide; polyether; all optionally substituted, and combinations thereof.
[0061] R9 and R10 may further include functional groups capable of altering the physical properties of the compound, such as solubility, pKa, etc. For example, these include optionally substituted carboxylates, amino groups, quartenary ammonium groups, sulfonates, PEG, etc.
[0062] It will be understood that when any of the substituents is a detectable moiety, that could also include suitable linking groups which link the detectable moiety to the rest of the indicator compound. Suitable linking groups include those listed above. Suitable detectable moieties include those defined above.
[0063] R8 is preferably selected from the group consisting of boronic acid, boronate ion, arsenious acid, arsenite ion, telluric acid, tellurate ion, germanic acid, germanate ion, and combinations thereof.
[0064] It will also be understood from the above definition that the present compounds and detection systems may be in polymeric form. Thus, an integral compound (containing recognition elements and detectable moiety) could be linked to an existing polymer, or the integral compound in monomeric form could be polymerized or co-polymerized with another suitable monomer to form a polymer. Alternatively, two separate monomeric components (e.g., one containing the recognition elements, and one containing a detectable moiety) could be co-polymerized so that the resulting polymer contains all necessary elements of the system (see Example 6).
[0065] Many uses exist for the indicator compounds of the present invention, including uses as indicators in the fields of energy, medicine and agriculture. For example, the indicator compounds can be used to detect sub-levels or supra-levels of glucose in physiological buffers or fluids, such as blood, plasma, serum, interstitial fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, saliva, intraocular fluid, lymph, tears, or sweat, thus providing valuable information for diagnosing or monitoring such diseases as diabetes and adrenal insufficiency.
[0066] Medical/pharmaceutical production of glucose for human therapeutic application requires monitoring and control.
[0067] Uses for the present invention in agriculture include detecting levels of glucose in soybeans and other agricultural products. Glucose must be carefully monitored in critical harvest decisions for such high value products as wine grapes. As glucose is the most expensive carbon source and feedstock in fermentation processes, glucose monitoring for optimum reactor feed rate control is important in power alcohol production. Reactor mixing and control of glucose concentration also is critical to quality control during production of soft drinks and fermented beverages, which consumes the largest amounts of glucose and fermentable (vicinal diol) sugars internationally.
[0068] When the indicator compounds incorporate fluorescent indicator substituents, various detection techniques also are known in the art. For example, the compounds of the invention can be used in fluorescent sensing devices (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,517,313) or can be bound to polymeric material such as test paper for visual inspection. This latter technique would permit, for example, glucose measurement in a manner analogous to determining pH with a strip of litmus paper. The compounds described herein may also be utilized as simple reagents with standard benchtop analytical instrumentation such as spectrofluorometers or clinical analyzers as made by Shimadzu, Hitachi, Jasco, Beckman and others. These molecules would also provide analyte specific chemical/optical signal transduction for fiber optic-based sensors and analytical fluorometers as made by Ocean Optics (Dunedin, Fla.), or Oriel Optics.
[0069] U.S. Pat. No. 5,517,313, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, describes a fluorescence sensing device in which the compounds of the present invention can be used to determine the presence or concentration of glucose in a liquid medium. The sensing device comprises a layered array of a fluorescent indicator molecule-containing matrix (hereafter “fluorescent matrix”), a high-pass filter and a photodetector. In this device, a light source, preferably a light-emitting diode (“LED”), is located at least partially within the indicator material, or in a waveguide upon which the indicator matrix is disposed, such that incident light from the light source causes the indicator molecules to fluoresce. The high-pass filter allows emitted light to reach the photodetector, while filtering out scattered incident light from the light source. The fluorescence of the indicator molecules employed in the device described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,517,313 is modulated, e.g., attenuated or enhanced, by the local presence of glucose.
[0070] In the sensor described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,517,313, the material which contains the indicator molecule is permeable to the analyte. Thus, the analyte can diffuse into the material from the surrounding test medium, thereby affecting the fluorescence emitted by the indicator compounds. The light source, indicator compound-containing material, high-pass filter and photodetector are configured such that at least a portion of the fluorescence emitted by the indicator compounds impacts the photodetector, generating an electrical signal which is indicative of the concentration of glucose in the surrounding medium.
[0071] In accordance with other possible embodiments for using the indicator compounds of the present invention, sensing devices also are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,910,661, 5,917,605 and 5,894,351, all incorporated herein by reference.
[0072] The compounds of the present invention can also be used in an implantable device, for example to continuously monitor blood glucose levels in vivo. Suitable devices are described in, for example, co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/383,148 filed Aug. 26, 1999, as well as U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,833,603, 6,002,954 and 6,011,984, all incorporated herein by reference.
[0073] The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by persons skilled in the art without an undue amount of experimentation using readily known reaction mechanisms and reagents, for example including reaction mechanisms which are consistent with the general procedures described below.

The cuvettes containing 3 mL of the desired solution were equilibrated at 37° C. for 15 minutes before measurement. Each hydrogel sample was measured in four independent samples. Error bars are standard deviation with quadruplicate values for each data point. The hydrogels containing a glucose recognition molecule were prepared as previously described. The hydrogels were mounted on glass slides and covered with polyester mesh in PMMA cuvettes at 45□ to the incident light. Solutions of 1, 5, 10 and 20 mM sodium L-lactate [Aldrich], 5, 10 and 20 mM lithium acetoacetate [Aldrich], and 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20 mM α-D-glucose were prepared in 10 mM PBS, pH 7.4 containing 0.2% NaN3 and 1 mM EDTA.

E. Preparation of Acrylamide Gel Containing N-[3-(methacrylamido)propyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-9,10-dioxo-2-anthracenesulfonamide (Alizarin Red S Monomer) and α,α′-bis[N-[2-(5,5-dimethyl[1,3,2]dioxaborinan-2-yl)benzyl]-N-[3-(methacrylamido)propylamino]-1,4-xylene:
[0150] Ethylene glycol solution containing 30% wt. acrylamide and 0.8% wt. N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide was prepared.
[0151] N-[3-(methacrylamido)propyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-9,10-dioxo-2-a nthracenesulfonamide (1.5 mg, 3.38×10−6 mole) and α,α′-bis[N-[2-(5,5-dimethylborinan-2-yl)benzyl]-N-[3-(methacrylamido)propylamino]-1, 4-xylene (28 mg, 3.54×10−5 mole) were combined with 800 μL of ethylene glycol monomer solution and 40 μL of 5% wt. aqueous ammonium persulfate. This formulation was placed in a glove box purged with nitrogen along with a mold constructed from glass microscope slides and 100 micron stainless steel spacer. An aqueous solution of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (40 μL, 5% wt.) was added to the monomer solution to accelerate polymerization and the final formulation was poured into a glass mold. The mold was left under nitrogen atmosphere for 16 hours, after which it was immersed in PBS (pH=7.4) and the glass slides were separated to afford a hydrogel polymer in a form of a thin film. The resulting hydrogel thin film was washed with 100 mL of phosphate buffered saline containing 1 mM lauryl sulfate sodium salt for 3 days, the solution being changed every day, followed by washing with MeOH/PBS (20/80 by vol., 3×100 mL), and finally with PBS (pH=7.4, 3×100 mL). Hydrogel polymer was stored in PBS (10 mM PBS, pH=7.4) containing 0.2% wt. sodium azide and 1 mM EDTA sodium salt.
F. Modulation of Absorbance With Glucose and Lactate
[0152] The modulation of the absorbance of the indicator hydrogel (which contains two recognition elements) prepared in this example by glucose and lactate was determined. The acrylamide gel was mounted in PMMA cell in the same way as described in Example 4. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH=7.4 containing desired amount of glucose or sodium lactate was heated to 37° C. in a water bath and placed in the PMMA cell containing the gel after which the PMMA cell was allowed to equilibrate for 15 min at 37° C. Absorbance measurement for each glucose or lactate concentration was conducted in triplicate. For each measurement, absorbance at 650 nm was used as a blank, A(650 nm) was subtracted from all values of A(450 nm) and A(530 nm).
[0153] FIG. 6 shows the absorbance spectra for acrylamide gel (30%) containing 4 mM Alizarin Red S monomer and 44 mM bis boronic acid monomer with and without glucose. FIG. 7 shows the effect of glucose on absorbance of acrylamide gel (30%) containing 4 mM Alizarin Red S monomer and 44 mM bis boronic acid monomer. FIG. 8 shows the effect of sodium lactate on absorbance of acrylamide gel (30%) containing 4 mM Alizarin Red S monomer and 44 mM bis boronic acid monomer. The absorbance of the indicator was affected by the presence of glucose, but not substantially affected by the presence of lactate.
G. Modulation of Fluorescence with Glucose and Lactate
[0154] The modulation of the fluorescence of an acrylamide gel synthesized substantially in accordance with this Example 6 (except that 1.9 mg of N-[3-(methacrylamido)-propyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-9,10-dioxo-2-anthracenesulfonamide and 35 mg of α,α′-bis[N-[2-(5,5-dimethyl[1,3,2]dioxaborinan-2-yl)-benzyl]-N-[3-(methacrylamido)propylamino]-1,4-xylene were used) was determined.
[0155] The experiment was conducted in a Shimadzu RF-5301 PC spectrofluorimeter equipped with a variable temperature attachment (excitation at 470 nm, slits 3/10 nm, high sensitivity). The acrylamide gel was attached to a piece of a glass slide which was glued in a PMMA fluorescence cell at a 45° angle. The cell was filled with 2.5 ml of PBS (pH=7.4) and heated to 37° C. Stock solutions of glucose (100 mM and 500 mM) in PBS (pH=7.4) were prepared and heated to 37° C. in a water bath. An aliquot of heated glucose stock solution was added to the PMMA cell periodically while the fluorescence intensity at 550 nm was monitored as a function of time (1 measurement every 2 minutes). Glucose concentration in the PMMA cell was measured using a YSI Model 2300 STAT plus glucose analyzer. The results, shown in FIG. 9 , show that the addition of glucose reduces the fluorescent intensity of the indicator hydrogel. The same effect is seen in FIG. 10 , which shows the effect of glucose on the fluorescence spectrum of the same type of gel.
[0156] That effect is believed to occur because of the following considerations. The methacrylamide monomer of Alizarin Red S (reporter molecule) contains a vicinal diol functionality and monomer functionality (see structure below). In aqueous solution and in organic solvents, the Alizarin Red S and bis-boronate recognition element monomers (see structure below) are capable of reversible reaction with each other to form a boronate ester. The boronate ester molecule formed in this reversible reaction is fluorescent, while the Alizarin Red S monomer by itself displays virtually no fluorescence emission in aqueous solution and in organic solvents, such as MeOH. Thus upon binding to the glucose recognition element, Alizarin Red S changes its optical properties, such as absorbance and quantum yield of fluorescence, for example.
[0157]
[0158] A solution of Alizarin Red S with monomer functionality and glucose recognition element with monomer functionality can be prepared together with a hydrogel monomer and a crosslinker. Copolymerization of this mixture produces a hydrogel material which is diffusable to various small and medium size molecules; thus it is capable of analyte detection and quantitation. An analyte, such as glucose for example, would diffuse inside the hydrogel matrix and displace the reporter molecule previously bound to the recognition element. This event causes a change in the optical properties of the hydrogel film since it now contains a greater number of reporter molecules unbound to the recognition element.
[0159] The modulation of the fluorescence of the indicator compound (which contains two recognition elements) prepared in this example by glucose and lactate was also determined. The experiment was conducted in a Shimadzu RF-5301 PC spectrofluorimeter equipped with a variable temperature attachment (excitation at 470 nm, slits 5/10 nm, low sensitivity). The acrylamide gel was attached to a piece of a glass slide which was glued in a PMMA fluorescence cell at a 45° angle. The cell was filled with 2.5 ml of PBS (pH=7.4) and heated to 37° C. in a water bath. A stock solution of sodium lactate (100 mM) in PBS (pH=7.4) was prepared and heated to 37° C. in a water bath. Stock solutions of glucose (100 mM and 500 mM) in PBS (pH=7.4) were prepared and heated to 37° C. in a water bath. An aliquot of heated lactate stock solution was added to the PMMA cell periodically while the fluorescence intensity at 550 nm was monitored as a function of time (1 measurement every 2 minutes), until the lactate concentration reached 8 mM. Then, an aliquot of heated glucose stock solution was added to the PMMA cell periodically while the fluorescence intensity at 550 nm was monitored as a function of time (1 measurement every 2 minutes). Glucose concentration in the PMMA cell was measured using a YSI Model 2300 STAT plus glucose analyzer. The results, shown in FIG. 11 , show that the addition of lactate had no significant effect on the fluorescent intensity of the indicator hydrogel, and the subsequent addition of glucose reduced the fluorescent intensity of the indicator hydrogel.

[0208] A solution of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (40% wt.) and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (0.8% wt.) in phosphate buffer, pH=7.4, 200 mM was prepared. 9-[N-(2-Boronobenzyl)-N-[3-(methacrylamido)propylamino]methyl]-10-[N-(2-boronobenzyl)-N-[6-(cyclohexanecarboxamido)hexylamino]methyl]anthracene (18 mg, 2.15×10−5 mole) and 60 mg of fructose were combined with 2 mL of MeOH. This solution was sonicated until all of the fructose dissolved and was subsequently evaporated to yield a solid. To this solid, 1 mL of phosphate buffer solution containing monomers was added. After sonication for 10 min this solution was filtered through a 0.2 μM PTFE membrane filter. Aqueous ammonium persulfate (20 μL, 5% wt.) was combined with the formulation. The resulting solution was placed in glove box purged with nitrogen. An aqueous solution of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (40 μL, 5% wt.) was added to the monomer formulation to accelerate polymerization. The resulting formulation was poured into a mold constructed from glass microscope slides and a 100 ′M stainless steel spacer. After being kept for 8 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere, the mold was placed in phosphate buffered saline (pH=7.4), the microscope slides were separated, and the hydrogel was removed. The hydrogel was washed with 100 mL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 1 mM lauryl sulfate sodium salt and 1 mM EDTA tetrasodium salt for 3 days, the solution being changed every day, followed by washing with EtOH/PBS (20/80 by vol., 3×100 mL), and finally with PBS (H=7.4, 3×100 mL). The resulting hydrogel film was stored in PBS (pH=7.4) containing 0.02% wt. sodium azide and 1 mM EDTA tetrasodium salt.
E. Modulation of Fluorescence with Glucose.
[0209] The modulation of the fluorescence of the 6-(cyclohexanecarboxamido)hexylamine indicator/DMA hydrogel film prepared in this example by glucose and lactate was determined. FIG. 14 shows the relative fluorescence emission (I @ 430 nm) of the hydrogel film in PBS (pH 7.4 containing 0.02% NaN3 and 1 mM EDTA) containing 0 to 20 mM α-D-glucose, 0 to 10 mM L-sodium lactate, and 0–20 mM α-D-glucose in the presence of 4 mM L-sodium lactate. The hydrogel film (100 μm thickness, 8 mm diameter disk) was mounted in a PMMA cuvette at a 45° angle. All measurements were made at 37° C. in a Shimadzu RF-5301 spectrofluorometer with excitation at 370 nm (slit=3 nm) and emission at 430 nm (slit=3 nm) at low PMT sensitivity. Glucose and L-sodium lactate concentrations were checked using the YSI Model 2300 STAT plus glucose analyzer. Error bars are standard deviation with triplicate values for each data point. The fluorescence was affected by the presence of glucose, but not by the presence of lactate. Moreover, the presence of lactate (4 mM) had no significant effect on the 0–20 mM glucose calibration curve.

[0228] A solution of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (40% wt.) and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (0.8% wt.) in phosphate buffer, pH=7.4, 200 mM was prepared. 9-[N-(2-boronobenzyl)-N-[3-(methacrylamido)propylamino]methyl]-10-[N-(2-boronobenzyl)-N-[2-(carboxyethyl)amino]methyl]anthracene (14 mg, 2.0×10−5 mole) and 60 mg of fructose were combined with 2 ml of MeOH. This solution was sonicated until all fructose dissolved and evaporated to yield a solid. To this solid 1 ml of phosphate buffer solution containing monomers was added. After sonication for 10 minutes this solution was filtered through 0.2 μM PTFE filter. Aqueous ammonium persulfate (20 μL, 5% wt.) was combined with the formulation. The resulting solution was placed in a glove box purged with nitrogen. An aqueous solution of N,N,N′,N′-tetrametylethylenediamine (40 μL, 5% wt.) was added to the monomer formulation to accelerate polymerization. The resulted formulation was poured in a mold constructed from microscope slides and 100 μM stainless steel spacer. After being kept for 8 hours in nitrogen atmosphere the mold was placed in phosphate buffered saline (10 mM, pH=7.4), the microscope slides were separated, and the hydrogel was removed. The hydrogel was washed with 100 ml of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 1 mM lauryl sulfate sodium salt and 1 mM EDTA tetrasodium salt for 3 days, the solution being changed every day, followed by washing with EtOH/PBS (20/80 by vol., 3×100 ml), and finally with PBS (pH=7.4, 3×100 ml). The resulting hydrogel film was stored in PBS (10 mM, pH=7.4) containing 0.02% wt. sodium azide and 1 mM EDTA tetrasodium salt.
II. Modulation of Fluorescence with Glucose.
[0229] The modulation of the fluorescence of the 2-(carboxyethyl)amine indicator/DMA hydrogel film prepared in this example by glucose and lactate was determined. FIG. 15 shows the relative fluorescence emission (I @ 430 nm) of the hydrogel film in PBS (pH 7.4 containing 0.02% NaN3 and 1 mM EDTA) containing 0 to 20 mM α-D-glucose, 0 to 10 mM L-sodium lactate, and 0–20 mM glucose in the presence of 3 mM L-sodium lactate. The hydrogel film (100 μm thickness, 8 mm diameter disk) was mounted in a PMMA cuvette at a 45° angle. All measurements were made at 37° C. in a Shimadzu RF-5301 spectrofluorometer with excitation at 370 nm (slit=3 nm) and emission at 430 nm (slit=3 nm) at low PMT sensitivity. Glucose and L-sodium lactate concentrations were checked using the YSI Model 2300 STAT plus glucose analyzer. The data is plotted as the average of triplicate values for each data point. The fluorescence was affected by the presence of glucose, but not by the presence of lactate. Moreover, the presence of lactate (4 mM) had no significant effect on the 0–20 mM glucose calibration curve.

II. Effect of Glucose on Fluorescence of Indicator Immobilized in Hydrogel Film
Preparation of HEMA/Methacrylic Acid Hydrogel with Glucose Indicator:
[0241] A 50% wt. solution of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate(4.75 g) and methacrylic acid (0.25 g) in phosphate buffer, pH=7.4, 200 mM was prepared. Glucose indicator (11 mg, 1.0×10−5 mole) and 60 mg of fructose were combined with 2 ml of MeOH. This solution was sonicated until all fructose dissolved and evaporated to yield a solid. To this solid 1 ml of phosphate buffer solution containing monomers was added. After sonication for 10 minutes this solution was filtered through 0.2 μM PTFE filter. Aqueous ammonium persulfate (20 μL, 5% wt.) was combined with the formulation. The resulting solution was placed in a glove box purged with nitrogen. An aqueous solution of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (40 μL, 5% wt.) was added to the monomer formulation to accelerate polymerization. The resulting formulation was poured in a mold constructed from microscope slides and a 100 μM stainless steel spacer. After being kept for 8 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere the mold was placed in phosphate buffered saline (10 mM, pH=7.4), the microscope slides were separated, and the hydrogel was removed. The hydrogel was washed with 100 ml of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 1 mM lauryl sulfate sodium salt and 1 mM EDTA tetrasodium salt for 3 days, the solution being changed every day, followed by washing with EtOH/PBS (20/80 by vol., 3×100 ml), and finally with PBS (pH=7.4, 3×100 ml). The resulting hydrogel film was stored in PBS (10 mM, pH=7.4) containing 0.02% wt. sodium azide and 1 mM EDTA tetrasodium salt.
Effect of Glucose and L-Sodium Lactate on Hydrogel Film Containing Glucose Indicator.
[0242] The experiment was conducted in a Shimadzu RF-5301 PC spectrofluorimeter equipped with a variable temperature attachment. Excitation wavelength was set at 370 nm, slits 3/3 nm, low PMT sensitivity, emission was scanned from 400 to 600 nm. Glucose and L-sodium lactate concentrations were checked using YSI Model 2300 STAT plus glucose analyzer.
[0243] The hydrogel film (100 μm thickness, round shape −8 mm diameter) was mounted in a PMMA cuvette at 45° angle. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH=7.4 containing the desired amount of glucose, L-sodium lactate, and glucose with L-sodium lactate were heated to 37° C. in a water bath and placed in the PMMA cell containing the mounted hydrogel. After each addition the PMMA cell was allowed to equilibrate for 45 min at 37° C. Fluorescence intensity measurements for each glucose/lactate concentration were conducted on two different samples and an average value was used in the calibration curve. Calibration curves (Fluorescence Intensity at 430 nm vs. concentration) were obtained for glucose, L-sodium lactate, and glucose in the presence of 3 mM L-sodium lactate. The results are shown in FIG. 16 .
