A new fluorescent turn-on probe (3) for the selective sensing and bioimaging of thiols is reported. In aqueous buffer solutions at physiological pH, thiols cleave the 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl group to release the red-emissive donor-acceptor fluorophore (4). The probe displays excellent immunity to interference from nitrogen and oxygen nucleophiles and the imaging of thiols in living cells is demonstrated.
报道了一种用于硫醇选择性传感和生物成像的新型荧光开启探针(3)。在生理pH值的水性缓冲溶液中,硫醇会裂解2,4-二硝基苯磺酰基,释放出发射红色荧光的供体-受体荧光团(4)。该探针对氮和氧亲核试剂的干扰具有出色的抗性,并证明了其对活细胞中硫醇的成像能力。
