Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO), as a kind of reactive oxygen species, was produced in the normal aerobic metabolism of organisms. The right amount of HClO can kill invading organisms and fight infection. However, when the amount of HClO is too high, the homeostasis within cells could be disrupted, resulting in irreversible damage to the body. Therefore, HClO plays an important role in normal physiological activities. In this study, a fluorescent probe BTD-TM for monitoring HClO was designed and developed based on benzothiadiazole. When HClO was recognized, the atom S in the thiomorpholine group was oxidized to the sulfoxide structure. Probe BTD-TM showed the advantages of large Stokes shift (120 nm) with low detection limit (LOD = 0.414 μM), high sensitivity, and good stability. Probe BTD-TM was able to achieve the precise detection of endogenous hypochlorous acid with high sensitivity, covering the intracellular homeostasis response induced by n-acetylcysteine and the inflammatory model system triggered by lipopolysaccharide stimulation. At the same time, excellent detection performance was also demonstrated for the tracking of the addition of exogenous hypochlorous acid. In addition, bioimaging showed that BTD-TM could also be used to detect HClO in zebrafish and tobacco seedlings.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
