Intracellular small-molecule thiols, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), play pivotal roles in several physiological and pathological processes. A bodipy-nitroolefin-conjugated fluorescent probe based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism was designed and successfully constructed. The probe selectively responds to biothiols by Michael addition reaction of the sulfhydryl group to the double bond activated by Nitroolefin moiety and gives an off-on fluorescent response. The fluorescence detection limit for GSH was calculated to be 11×10-9 mol/L. The results of fluorescence confocal imaging indicated that the probe has appreciable cell permeability and can serve as a fluorescent probe for detecting biothiols in living cells and zebrafish.

Key words: thiol, nitroolefin, fluorescent probe, bioimaging
