Lysosome-targeting ratiometric fluorescent pH probes based on long-wavelength BODIPY

Abstract

BODIPY-based probes were developed for the ratiometric fluorescence detection of pH values. They showed high sensitivity under acidic conditions via a protonation-modulated ICT mechanism and could selectively stain lysosomes, and thus could be applied for imaging and detecting abnormal pH decreases in live cells.
