Abstract

Exploring techniques for monitoring the intracellular signaling molecule carbon monoxide (CO) in biosystems is important to help understand its various cellular functions. Therefore, a simple long-wavelength colorimetric fluorescent probe LW-CO was designed for selectively and sensitively detecting intracellular CO in living systems. Probe LW-CO is ultrasensitive and can track CO levels in the range of 0-1 μM, with a detection limit of about 3.2 nM. Additionally, the obvious color changes of probe LW-CO with CO (yellow to pink) provide a convenient way for on-site detection of CO with the naked eye. Probe LW-CO was applied to track the exogenous levels of CO in RAW264.7 cells. Probe LW-CO proved to be an efficient method for investigating various cellular functions of CO.
