Hydrogen sulfide (HS), a well-known signaling molecule, exerts significant regulatory effects on the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Therefore, monitoring the metabolism of HS offers a potential mechanism to detect various diseases. In addition, biotin is significantly used as a targeting group to detect cancer cells exclusively. In this work, a biotin-guided benzoxadizole-based fluorescent probe, NP-biotin, was developed for HS detection and evaluated in normal liver cell (LO2) and liver cancer cell (HepG2) lines. Results reveal that NP-biotin can detect cellular HS with high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, NP-biotin has been confirmed to possess the ability to target cancer cells under the guidance of the biotin group.
硫化氢(HS)是一种著名的信号分子,对心血管和神经系统具有显著的调节作用。因此,监测HS的代谢为检测各种疾病提供了一种潜在机制。此外,生物素被大量用作专门检测癌细胞的靶向基团。在这项工作中,开发了一种生物素引导的基于苯并恶二唑的荧光探针NP-生物素,用于检测HS,并在正常肝细胞系(LO2)和肝癌细胞系(HepG2)中进行了评估。结果表明,NP-生物素能够高灵敏度和高选择性地检测细胞内的HS。此外,已证实NP-生物素在生物素基团的引导下具有靶向癌细胞的能力。
