Summary: | Development of high performance fluorescent chemosensors for the detection of ClO
−
in vitro
and
in vivo
is very desirable, because many human diseases are caused by ClO
−
. In this paper, a highly selectivity and sensitive fluorescent probe,
EDPC
, based on 3-acetylcoumarin, was synthesized, which could respond to ClO
−
and exhibit an "off-on" mode in Tris-HCl buffer (pH = 7.2, 10 mM, 50% C
2
H
5
OH) solutions. The detection limit of the
EDPC
probe for ClO
−
was as low as 1.2 × 10
−8
M. Moreover, the high selectivity and high sensitivity of
EDPC
towards ClO
−
are attributed to the oxidation reaction between the C-O of the coumarin lactone and the C&z.dbd;C formed by aldol condensation and the mechanism was further verified using ESI-MS and DFT. Additionally, the concentrations of ClO
−
in real water were also calculated using the
EDPC
probe and showed good recovery. Finally, the distribution of intracellular endogenous ClO
−
was gained by confocal fluorescence microscopy in living HEK293T cells.
A new probe,
EDPC,
was designed and synthesized for highly specific and sensitive detection of ClO
−
with a fast response time in living cells. |
