A near-infrared fluorescent probe for imaging peroxynitrite levels in paw edema mice and drug evaluation†
Abstract
A near-infrared fluorescent probe (TX-P) for detecting peroxynitrite is constructed. The probe has a near-infrared emission (725 nm), large Stokes shift (125 nm) and excellent sensitivity and selectivity. In addition, TX-P can be used to visualize ONOO− in living cells, image ONOO− in paw edema mice and evaluate anti-inflammatory drugs.
