A red-emissive two-photon fluorescent probe for mitochondrial sodium ions in live tissue

Abstract

A cyclocyanine (CC)-based organic small molecule two-photon (TP) fluorescent probe (CCNa1) was developed for mitochondrial sodium ion sensing. CCNa1 exhibits a low solvatochromic shift and strong TP fluorescence enhancement at 575 nm upon binding to Na+ and is insensitive to other metal ions and to pH. CCNa1 demonstrated fast cell loading ability, biocompatibility, and sensitive response to mitochondrial Na+ influx in live cells and mouse brain tissue.
