A nitroxyl-responsive near-infrared fluorescent chemosensor for visualizing H2S/NO crosstalk in biological systems†
Abstract
We present a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe, NR-HNO, which was successfully applied to visualizing H2S/NO “crosstalk” by the fluorescence detection of nitroxyl with a fast response time (5 min) and a large Stokes shift (131 nm) in living cells and tissue; it was also used to image nitroxyl in live mice.
