A mitochondria-targeted ratiometric fluorescent probe for detection of SO2 derivatives in living cells and in vivo

摘要： A new near-infrared (NIR) ?uorescent probe for colorimetric and ratiometric detection of SO2 derivatives was developed based on conjugated hybrid coumarin-hemicyanine. The probe can detect HSO3?/SO32? in HEPES bu?er (10 mM, pH 7.4, with 10% DMF, v/v) with a large emission shift (259 nm). Importantly, it was successfully used for ?uorescence imaging of endogenous bisul?te in BT-474 cells and zebra?sh.
