Alternative diagnosis method:Fluorescent staining:staining isolated mycobacterium with fluorescent compound and quantifying light emission.

Fluorescent staining is an alternative technique in the detection of Tuberculosis.

Fluorescence is the emission of light due to relaxation of excited state energy.

Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) is a process by which radiationless transfer of energy occurs from an excited state fluorophore to a second fluorophore in close proximity.

The requirements for FRET to occur between two fluorophores are: 1. Overlapping donor emission and acceptor absorption spectra

2. Distance range of 2nm to 10nm between the two molecules3. Fluorescence lifetime of the donor molecule must be of sufficient duration to permit FRET

Page 6: PREPARATION OF FLUORESCENT MONOMERS AND FLUORESCENCE RESONANCE ENERGY TRANSFER (FRET) STUDIES FOR NOVEL Tb CHEMOSENSOR Kristine Haizell S. Anore BS/MS

The FRET system consists of hydrophobic interaction of the acceptor fluorophore embedded on a thin film and mycolic acid donor fluorophore.

Conclusion• 1-pyrenyl carbaldehyde and anthracene aldehyde

were reduced to 1-pyrenylmethanol and 9-anthracenylmethanol with percentage yield of 96.19% and 77.76%.

• Coumarinyl methacrylate were synthesized with percentage yield of 96.2%.

• Co-polymerization of DODMA and fluorophore monomers were conducted with 88-97% percentage yield.

• UV-Vis absorbance of the fluorophore polymers were determined. There is a significant difference in the absorbance of the fluorophore monomer and the fluorescent polymer.

Recommendation• Optimize synthesis procedure of methacryloyl

chloride• Optimize the synthesis of 1-pyrenylmethyl

methacrylate and 9-anthracenylmethyl methacrylate

• Characterize the fluorescent polymers using H NMR

• Determine the fluorescence emission of the fluorophore polymers at different concentrations

• Determine the interaction of the fluorescent polymer with the donor fluorophore tagged with pseudo- mycolic acid

Tb diagnosis procedures in the country are not specific, limited and take too long. Limitations of current

diagnosis methods:1.High organism per ml to detect and Low sensitivity rate in sputum microscopy2.Culturing takes long time3.Low stability of reagents for Serology test4.False positive results amplification of DNA
