Nitric oxide (NO) plays various physiological and pathological roles in lots of biological processes. It is crucial to detect NO sensitively and selectively in vivo and in vitro as homeostasis of NO is closely related to various diseases. Herein, a novel dual-channel fluorescent dye (ENNH2) based on dicarboxyimide anthracene was developed as a highly sensitive and selective probe to detect NO in living systems using the dual-channel fluorescence. ENNH2 can emit bright red fluorescence due to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from the amino group at the 6-position of 1,2-dicarboxyimide anthracene to the conjugated aromatic ring, and the ICT is effectively inhibited by the reductive deamination of the amino in the pres-ence of NO to obtain the remarkable strong green emission with the excellent sensitivity (5.52 nM). Promisingly, ENNH2 exhibits an excellent performance in endogenous NO dual-channel fluorescence imaging of RAW 264.7 cells and zebrafish. (C)& nbsp;2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
