Cystic fibrosis (CF) arises from mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Monitoring I transport serves as a critical approach for evaluating CFTR function in live cells, providing a foundation for the development of diagnostic tools and therapeutic treatments. Here, we report an iridium(iii) complex () for the selective and pH-independent imaging of intracellular I. By tracking cellular iodide I uptake, facilitates the evaluation of CFTR activity in live cells, providing a valuable tool for the functional characterization of CFTR activity.
囊性纤维化（CF）由囊性纤维化跨膜传导调节因子（CFTR）基因突变引起。监测碘转运是评估活细胞中CFTR功能的关键方法，为诊断工具和治疗方法的开发奠定了基础。在此，我们报告了一种铱（III）配合物（），用于细胞内碘的选择性和pH无关成像。通过追踪细胞对碘离子的摄取，有助于评估活细胞中的CFTR活性，为CFTR活性的功能表征提供了一种有价值的工具。
