  • Title: A Novel Dicyanoisophorone-Based Ratiometric Fluorescent Probe for Selective Detection of Cysteine and Its Bioimaging Application in Living Cells.
    Author: Zhang H, Qin N, Fang Z.
    Journal: Molecules; 2018 Feb 22; 23(2):. PubMed ID: 29470399.
    Abstract:
    A selective and ratiometric turn-on fluorescent probe was designed and synthesized by using a novel dicyanoisophorone-based derivative and acrylate moiety. The probe displayed high stability and good selectivity to cysteine (Cys) over homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). It also exhibited rapid response to Cys within 180 s. Most importantly, the fluorescence intensity ratio at 590 and 525 nm (I590/I525) was linearly dependent on the Cys concentration in the range from 0 to 40 μM and the detection limit calculated to be 0.48 μM. This probe was also applied for bioimaging of intracellular Cys in living HeLa cells with low cytotoxicity.
