Abstract
- Hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn, n > 1), as the oxidized forms of H2S, have attracted increasing attention these years due to their involvement in signaling transduction and cytoprotective processes. It is necessary to detect H2Sn in living systems for the study of their functions. In this work, we report a BODIPY-based near-infrared emitting fluorescence probe NIR-PHS1, with "turn-on" response, rapid response rate (within 10 min), outstanding selectivity and excellent sensitivity (detection limit = 12 nM) response towards H2Sn. The probe was successfully applied to the visualizing of endogenous H2Sn in living cells. Moreover, it can be used for near-infrared in vivo imaging of H2Sn in living mice. Therefore, NIR-PHS1 could be a potential imaging tool to study the biological roles of H2Sn in living systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
