Flavone-Based ESIPT Ratiometric Chemodosimeter for Detection of Cysteine in Living Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have designed and synthesized a novel ratiometric fluorescent chemodosimeter MHF-based ESIPT process for specific detection of cysteine among the biological thiols. The probe MHF shows very weak blue fluorescence under UV excitation. Upon addition of cysteine (Cys), the reaction of Cys with MHF induces acrylate hydrolysis, thereby enabling the ESIPT process to shift the weak blue emission to a strong green emission with about 20-fold enhancement. We utilized (1)H NMR spectra to elucidate the fluorescence sensing mechanism. Moreover, the cellular imaging experiment indicated the MHF possessed excellent selectivity, low cytotoxicity, and desirable cell permeability for biological applications.

A novel ratiometric fluorescent Hg(2+) detecting system was rationally developed based on the typical excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) characteristic of the latent fluorophore, 2-(1-(p-tolyl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-2-yl)phenol (Pol) and the Hg(2+)-mediated cleavage of the vinyl group. The probe responds selectively to Hg(2+) over various other metal ions with a larger...
متن کاملA TBET-based ratiometric probe for Au(3+) and its application in living cells.
In this paper, we designed and synthesized a novel TBET-based ratiometric fluorescent chemodosimeter, RH-Au, for Au(3+). It was found that the probe RH-Au displayed highly selective, sensitive and naked-eye detection upon the addition of Au(3+). The probe RH-Au can be used in the pH range 6.0-7.5 and the detection limit was determined to be as low as 2.91 nM (0.57 ppb). We also demonstrated a s...

A novel molecule T1 with efficient intramolecular charge transfer was designed as a fluorescent chemodosimeter for cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy). Upon addition of Cys/Hcy, T1 exhibited greatly enhanced fluorescence intensity as well as a large absorption peak shift (70 nm), and can be used for bioimaging of Cys/Hcy in living cells and detection in human plasma by visual color change.
