[Display omitted] • The probe EDPH specializes in the detection of H 2 S with high selectivity, high sensitivity and good detection limits. • The probe EDPH has been shown to have applications in intracellular fluorescence imaging. • Purine-based fluorescent probes for the detection of H 2 S are a new direction. Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is a gas with a toxic odor that plays an irreplaceable role in physiological activities within the mammalian body. Therefore, it is important to do the distribution and quantitative detection of H 2 S in mammalian cells. In this paper, a fluorescence probe (EDPH) based on purine scaffold was designed and synthesized with high sensitivity and good selectivity. H 2 S induced ether bond breakage in EDPH , resulting in a significant redshift of the absorption band (from 370 nm to 500 nm) with a Stokes shift of 130 nm. After the addition of H 2 S, the fluorescence intensity of EDPH showed a good linear correlation with the concentration of H 2 S, which enabled the quantitative detection of H 2 S with a low limit of detection (41 nM). Finally, the EDPH was applied to the cellular Hele, and the probe has good cellularity imaging capability for the detection of H 2 S in living systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
