Abstract
In this study, we developed a mitochondria-targeting fluorescent probe SY-Cys toward Cys based on a hemicyanine scaffold. SY-Cys features rapid response (4 min), high sensitivity (LOD = 0.16 μM), good selectivity without interference from common biomarkers. The responsive mechanism of SY-Cys towards Cys is an intramolecular cyclization-ICT mechanism. SY-Cys visualized oxidative stress-driven Cys upregulation during APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in HepG2 cells and NAC-mediated metabolic recovery. Furthermore, SY-Cys enabled in vivo imaging of Cys in DILI mice, corroborating cellular-level observations. Collectively, SY-Cys is powerful in monitoring Cys and is conducive to the early diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury diseases.
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.
