Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, but early detection can prevent or cure many cancers. Novel near-infrared fluorescent probe (CyO-DNP) for sequential detection of H2S and H+ has been synthesized. This probe shows potential for monitoring endogenous H2S and H+ in cancer cells and imaging exogenous and endogenous H2S and H+ in mice, with the ability to accurately discriminate between normal and tumor mice.
Cancer ranks as a leading cause of death in every country of the world. However, if they are discovered early, a lot of cancers can be prevented or cured. Discovering and monitoring cancer markers are the main methods for early diagnosis of cancer. To date, many fluorescent probes designed and used for early cancer diagnosis can only react with a single marker, which always causes insufficient accuracy in complex systems. Herein, a novel near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (CyO-DNP) for the sequential detection of H2S and H+ is synthesized. In this probe, a heptamethine dye is selected as the fluorophore and a 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) ether is chosen as recognition group. In the presence of H2S, CyO-DNP is transformed into CyO, which exhibits an intense fluorescence at 663 nm. Then, H+ induces the protonation of CyO to obtain CyOH, and the final fluorescence emission at 793 nm significantly enhances. Owing to the low cyt otoxicity and the NIR fluorescence emission, CyO-DNP can sequentially monitor endogenous H2S and H+ in cancer cells and image exogenous and endogenous H2S and H+ in mice. It is worth mentioning that CyO-DNP can effectively avoid the false positive signal caused by the liver and kidney and discriminate normal mice and tumor mice accurately. For all we know, CyO-DNP is the first fluorescent probe for early accurate diagnosis of cancer by sequentially detecting H2S and H+.
