8-Thiocyanatoflavins at the riboflavin, FMN, and FAD level were prepared via the diazonium salt of the corresponding 8-aminoflavin and some of the physical and chemical properties studied. 8-Thiocyanatoriboflavin has a UV-visible spectrum similar to that of the native flavin with absorbance maxima at 446 nm (epsilon = 14,900 M-1 cm-1) and 360 nm. Reaction with thiols such as dithiothreitol and mercaptoethanol gives rise to an 8-mercapto- and an 8-SR-flavin, whereas reaction with sulfide yields only the 8-mercaptoflavin. The 8-SCN-flavin binds to riboflavin-binding protein as the riboflavin derivative, to apoflavodoxin, apo-Old Yellow Enzyme, and apo-lactate oxidase as the FMN derivative, and to apo-D-amino acid oxidase, apo-p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase, apo-glucose oxidase, apo-anthranilate hydroxylase, and apo-general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase as the FAD derivative. In two cases, namely, with anthranilate hydroxylase and D-amino acid oxidase, the 8-SCN-FAD was spontaneously and completely converted to the 8-mercapto-FAD derivative, suggesting the presence of a nucleophile (most likely the thiol of a cysteine residue) in the vicinity of the 8-position. It was also found that flavodoxin stabilizes the neutral radical and Old Yellow Enzyme the anionic radical of 8-SCN-FMN. Further studies with Old Yellow Enzyme, established that fully (two electron) reduced 8-SCN-FMN undergoes photoelimination of cyanide.

The 19F NMR spectra of the oxidized and reduced forms of 8-fluororiboflavin, 8-fluoro-FAD, and the 8-fluoroflavin-reconstituted flavoproteins flavodoxin, riboflavin binding protein, D-amino acid oxidase, p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase, Old Yellow Enzyme, anthranilate hydroxylase, general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, glucose oxidase, and L-lactate oxidase were measured. For the proteins studied the oxidized resonances appeared over a 10.1-ppm range, while the reduced resonances were spread over 10.3 ppm. Reduction caused an upfield shift of about 27 ppm for the free 8-fluoroflavins and most of the 8-fluoro flavoproteins. The notable exception was 8-fluoro-FMN flavodoxin, which was shifted 37.6 ppm, indicating an unusually high electron density in the benzene ring. Ligand binding to the oxidized 8-fluoro flavoproteins caused either upfield or downfield shifts of 1.5-5 ppm, depending on the protein/ligand combination. The 8-fluoro-FAD anthranilate hydroxylase resonance was shifted downfield and split into two peaks in the presence of anthranilate. The 8-fluoro-FMN Old Yellow Enzyme resonance was shifted upfield upon complexation with charge-transfer-forming, para-substituted phenolates. The upfield shift increased from less than 1 to 5 ppm as the electron-donating capacity of the phenolate increased. Complexation of native Old Yellow Enzyme with 2,4-difluorophenol caused the fluorine resonances of the ligand to shift and split into two pairs of signals. Each pair of signals was associated with a different isozyme of Old Yellow Enzyme.
