Novel near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes for nitric oxide (NO) have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Their NIR fluorescence was increased in an NO concentration-dependent manner under physiological conditions, and their reaction efficiency with NO was at least 53 times higher than that of a widely used NO probe, DAF-2. They were confirmed to function in isolated intact rat kidneys. Because NIR light can penetrate deeply into tissues, these probes may have potential for in vivo NO imaging.
新型一氧化氮(NO)近红外(NIR)荧光探针已被设计、合成和评估。在生理条件下,它们的近红外荧光以NO浓度依赖性方式增强,并且它们与NO的反应效率比广泛使用的NO探针DAF-2至少高53倍。已证实它们在离体完整大鼠肾脏中发挥作用。由于近红外光可以深入穿透组织,这些探针可能具有体内NO成像的潜力。
