A highly selective turn-on fluorescent probe for Al(III) based on coumarin and its application in vivo
In this study, a turn-on coumarin-based fluorescent probe, 7-hydroxy-6-[(2-hydroxy-naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-amino]-4-methyl-chroman-2-one (CN), was developed for detecting Al(3+) in aqueous systems. The binding ratio of CN-Al(3+) complexes was determined from the Job plot and ESI-MS data to be 1 :...

Summary: | In this study, a turn-on coumarin-based fluorescent probe, 7-hydroxy-6-[(2-hydroxy-naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-amino]-4-methyl-chroman-2-one (CN), was developed for detecting Al(3+) in aqueous systems. The binding ratio of CN-Al(3+) complexes was determined from the Job plot and ESI-MS data to be 1 : 1. The binding constant (Ka) of Al(3+) binding to CN was calculated to be 9.55 × 10(4) M(-1) from a Benesi-Hildebrand plot and the detection limit was evaluated to be as low as 0.10 μM (LOD = 3σ/slope). CN could be used as an effective fluorescent probe for detecting Al(3+) in living HeLa cells. Moreover, CN could also be applied in the in vivo detection of Al(3+) in zebrafish. |
