Abstract:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays vital roles in diverse physiological processes. Imbalance of the H2O2 is concerned with serious diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Therefore, it is critical to develop efficient methods for monitoring H2O2 in vivo. In this work, a two-photon excitation (860 nm) NIR fluorescent turn-on probe TPNR-H2O2 for H2O2 based on Dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran fluorophore is reported, which can be used in solution detection with 13.2-fold NIR fluorescence enhancement, fast response (completed within 40 min), excellent sensitivity (DL 72.48 nM), and lower cellular auto-fluorescence interference. Importantly, the perfect photostability of TPNR-H2O2 clearly demonstrated that the probe could be applied to imaging intracellular H2O2 for a long time without photobleaching. In addition, through two-photon imaging, this probe was cell permeable and used to monitor the level of endogenous and exogenous H2O2 with promising biological application.
