An efficient two-photon fluorescent probe for human NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (hNQO1) detection and imaging in tumor cells†
Abstract
A new quinone propionic acid locked TP fluorophore which can be used for human NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (hNQO1) detection was developed. The probe, TPQ, which displays high selectivity and anti-interference ability, was successfully applied to endogenous hNQO1 imaging and for the identification of different cancer cells.
