A very fast-responsive fluorescent probe PZ-Py for imaging mitochondrial HClO/ClO(-), with a relatively long emission wavelength, was prepared. The limit of detection was evaluated to be 17.9 nM. Moreover, the probe PZ-Py was successfully applied in the imaging of endogenous HClO/ClO(-) in the mitochondria of RAW 264.7 cells and living nude mouse.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
