TMR-TPE, a ratiometric fluorescent probe, was reported for the imaging of vicinal dithiol proteins (VDPs) in living cells. Profiting from the "dual-key-and-lock" design, TMR-TPE solves the toxicity problem of VDP probes (98% cell viability at 50 μM) and avoids the interference of small thiols (up to 10 mM GSH). The change of VDPs during drug-induced liver injury was monitored for the first time using TMR-TPE.
TMR-TPE 是一种比率型荧光探针,用于活细胞中毗邻二硫键蛋白(VDP)的成像。得益于“双钥匙-锁”设计,TMR-TPE 解决了 VDP 探针的毒性问题(在 50μM 时细胞存活率为 98%),并避免了小分子硫醇(高达 10mM GSH)的干扰。首次使用 TMR-TPE 监测了药物性肝损伤过程中 VDP 的变化。
