Herein, we report a novel quinoline derivative-based two-photon fluorescent probe 6-(dimethylamino) quinoline-2-benzothiazoline (HQ), which is capable of tracking superoxide anion in organisms with specific turn-on fluorescence response based on extension of pi-conjugations and moderate ICT process. The probe exhibited favorable photophysical properties, a broad linear range and high photostability. It can specifically detect superoxide anion with a significant fluorescence enhancement and great linearity from 0 to 500 mu M in PBS buffer. Furthermore, HQ shows low cytotoxicity and excellent photostability toward living cells and organisms, which was able to monitor endogenous superoxide anion fluxes in living cells and in vivo. For the first time, endogenous superoxide anion in lung inflammation was visualized successfully by using HQ through two-photon microscopy, and the probe HQ shows great potential for fast in-situ detecting of inflammatory response in live organisms.
