Currently most fluorogenic probes are developed for the analysis of enzymes, where a bond breaking or rearrangement reaction is required to transform a nonfluorescent enzymatic substrate into a fluorescent product. However, this approach cannot be used for proteins that do not possess enzymatic activities. In this article, we show that fluorogenic probes with a self-immolative difluorophenyl ester linker can mimic the bond disassembly processes of fluorogenic enzyme substrates for the rapid analysis of nonenzymatic proteins. Although numerous self-immolative reagents have shown promising applications in sensors, drug delivery systems, and material chemistry, all of them are triggered by either enzymes or small reactive molecules. In our strategy, the probe binds to the protein via a specific protein-ligand interaction, inducing a chemical reaction between the self-immolative linker and an amino acid of the protein, thereby triggering a cascade reaction that leads to the activation and release of the fluorogenic reporter. In contrast, a phenyl ester linker without the difluoro substituent cannot be triggered to release the fluorogenic reporter. With this probe design, live-cell imaging of extracellular and intracellular endogenous tumor marker proteins can be achieved with high selectivity and sensitivity.
