A highly sensitive fluorescent HClO probe for discrimination between cancerous and normal cells/tissues

Elevated level of hypochlorous acid(HClO)is closely associated with cancer development.Identifying HClO level in cancer cells would provide important evidence in either early-stage cancer diagnostics or monitoring of its treatment efficiency.In this work,a new pyronine-based fluorescent probe for rapid and sensitive detection of HClO was developed by condensing meso-formyl pyronine(PyCHO)with 2-hydrazinopyridine to form meso-pyridylhydrazone-functionalized pyronine PyHP,PyHP is nonfluorescent due to the excited-state C=N isomerization nonradiative decay,whereas the HClO-triggered formation of meso-triazolopyridyl pyronine PyTP abolishes the C=N isomerization and thus greatly enhances the fluorescence.With the probe,the cancer cells/tumor were distinguished with high-contrast from normal ones by laser confocal fluorescence imaging,and the tumor-to-normal(T/N)ratios obtained exceed the clinically acceptable threshold of 2.0.Moreover,its capability of in vivo imaging tumor was also demon-strated.These results indicate the potential of PyHP as an effective tool in the early clinical diagnosis of cancers.
