The disruption of copper homeostasis (Cu/Cu) may cause neurodegenerative disorders. Thus, the need for understanding the role of Cu in physiological and pathological processes prompted the development of improved methods of Cu analysis. Herein, a new near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent turn-on probe (NPCu) for the detection of Cu was developed based on a Cu-mediated benzylic ether bond cleavage mechanism. The probe showed high selectivity and sensitivity toward Cu, and was successfully applied for bioimaging of Cu in living cells.
铜稳态(Cu/Cu)的破坏可能会导致神经退行性疾病。因此,由于需要了解铜在生理和病理过程中的作用,促使人们开发出改进的铜分析方法。在此,基于铜介导的苄基醚键裂解机制,开发了一种用于检测铜的新型近红外(NIR)荧光开启探针(NPCu)。该探针对铜表现出高选择性和高灵敏度,并成功应用于活细胞中铜的生物成像。
