Abstract
Simultaneously detecting two biomarkers can significantly enhance disease diagnosis accuracy and deepen our understanding of disease pathogenesis. Developing a single fluorescent probe with two independent response units for this purpose is crucial. In line with this, a novel fluorescent probe (TPA-DT-DNH) had been proposed, featuring triphenylamine and C=N groups sensitive to lipid droplets (LDs) and hypochlorous acid (HClO), respectively. Spectral results highlighted that only the co-presence of LDs and HClO could “turn-on” the fluorescence of TPA-DT-DNH, when the concentration of one substance remained constant, the fluorescence intensity linearly increased with the concentration of the other substance. The imaging results demonstrated that TPA-DT-DNH can differentiate between normal cells and cells rich in LDs when HClO was present, and can detect HClO in HeLa cells. Furthermore, dynamic changes in the inflammation process induced by LPS can be visualized in both cells and zebrafish. Additionally, significant fluorescence enhancement was observed in atheromatous plaque.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
