Discovery of a nontoxic fluorescent molecular probe to "light up" specific cellular organelles is extremely essential to understand dynamics of intracellular components. Here, we report a new nontoxic mitochondria-targeted linear bithiazole compound, containing trifluoroacetyl terminal groups, which emits intense blue fluorescence and stained mitochondria of various cells. Interestingly, the power of fluorescence is completely off when the bithiazole unit is stapled by a carbonyl bridge.
发现一种无毒的荧光分子探针来“点亮”特定的细胞器对于理解细胞内组分的动态变化极其重要。在此,我们报道了一种新的含有三氟乙酰端基的无毒线粒体靶向线性双噻唑化合物,它能发出强烈的蓝色荧光并对各种细胞的线粒体进行染色。有趣的是,当双噻唑单元通过羰基桥连接时,荧光完全熄灭。
