Heterocycles play important roles in bioluminescence. Among them, the imidazopyrazinone compounds are utilized for light emission in some marine bioluminescent systems. Coelenterazine (CL) is the organic substance of aequorin, a photoprotein obtained from jellyfish, that possesses green fluorescent proteins (GFP). The dehydrogenative oxidation of CL affords dehydrocoelenterazine (DCL), which is also an organic substance for marine bioluminescence. DCL cannot react directly with oxygen. Therefore, it is converted to the chromophore, which is required for light emission in a photoprotein. The chromophore directly reacts with oxygen in the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to emit visible light. Symplectin, a photoprotein derived from squids, and Pholasin, a photoprotein of mollusks, utilize the DCL-derived chromophore. Pholasin, a registered trademark of Knight Scientific Ltd., is widely utilized as a highly sensitive indicator of ROS, i.e., the detection of ROS that are produced from activated neutrophils by Pholasin is the biomarker for oxidative stresses. Since there are many excellent reviews regarding CL-dependent bioluminescence, this review focuses on the bioluminescent systems, which employ DCL as an organic substance, by describing the history of the research on these systems and the bioluminescent mechanism that is related to the DCL-derived chromophores.
