As selenocysteine (Sec) carries out the majority of the functions of the various Se-containing species in vivo, it is of high importance to develop reliable and rapid assays with biocompatibility to detect Sec. Herein, an NIR fluorescent turn-on probe for highly selective detection of selenol was designed and synthesized. The probe exhibits large turn-on signal upon treatment with selenocysteine (R-SeH), and it was further demonstrated that the new NIR fluorescent probe can be employed to image selenol in living animals.
由于硒代半胱氨酸(Sec)在体内执行各种含硒物种的大部分功能,因此开发具有生物相容性的可靠且快速的检测Sec的方法非常重要。在此,设计并合成了一种用于高选择性检测硒醇的近红外荧光开启探针。该探针对硒代半胱氨酸(R-SeH)处理表现出大的开启信号,并且进一步证明了这种新型近红外荧光探针可用于活体动物中硒醇的成像。
