Screening of dicyanoisophorone-based probes for highly sensitive detection of viscosity changes in living cells and zebrafish

Abstract

Herein, seven viscosity-sensitive probes were developed via simple structural modification of dicyanoisophorone (DCO)-derived dyes. Among them, DCO-5 significantly enhances (180-fold) the response signal in highly viscous aqueous media while showing insensitivity to polarity changes or pH variations, and enables the successful detection of viscosity changes in nystatin-treated HepG2 cells, PC 12 cells and zebrafish.
