Cysteine (Cys) plays important roles in many physiological processes of eukaryotic cells and its detection in cells is of fundamental significance. However, glutathione (GSH), homocysteine, N-acetyl-L-cysteine and other thiols greatly hamper the detection of Cys. In particular, GSH strongly interferes with the detection of cellular Cys (30-200 mu M) due to its high intracellular concentration (1-10 mM). In this work, an off on fluorescent probe (HOTA) for the detection of Cys is presented. This probe possesses both excellent sensitivity and satisfactory selectivity for cellular Cys detection: with the addition of 200 mu M Cys, the fluorescence intensity of the probe (10 mu M) enhanced 117-fold and the detection limit was calculated to be 13.47 mu M, which is lower than the cellular Cys concentration; the probe also selectively detected 30-200 mu M cysteine over 1-10 mM glutathione. Consequently, cell imaging experiments were performed with probe HOTA. Furthermore, the results of the thiol-blocking and GSH synthesis inhibiting experiments confirmed that the intracellular emission mainly originates from the interaction between Cys and HOTA.
