Despite regulation of some different physiological processes such as nervous system, inflammatory stress and cardiovascular system, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an important signaling molecule, also can control activity of ATP enzyme and antioxidant stress in mitochondrion of living cells. For real time quantitative detection of H2S, in this paper, a mitochondrial-targetable and turn-on fluorescent probe NRS has been developed and used to monitor exogenous H2S in living cells. Based on the principle of photo-induced electron transfer (PET), 2,4-dinitrobenzen has been introduced into Nile Red moiety in the structure of probe NRS. NRS has been shown fast response and high sensitivity to hydrogen sulfide, without interference from other reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen, anions and metal ions species. With addition of sodium sulfide, the maximum absorption wavelength of NRS at 565 nm has blue shifted to 550 nm, and the emission intensity at 640 nm is accordingly increasing. Meanwhile, this solution is turned to purple from red color and visible with naked eye. The emission intensity of NRS is linear function with the sodium sulfide concentration over the range from 32 to 172 祄ol·L-1. The cell-staining experiment indicates that NRS can diffuse across into cells. It is further proof that in colocalization experimentation NRS can be positioned in mitochondria and detecting hydrogen sulfide in living cells.
