Abstract
Biothiols, characterized by their unique sulfhydryl (-SH) groups, possess excellent antioxidant properties, effectively neutralizing the damage to cellular structures caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in living organisms. Additionally, lysosomes play a crucial role in decomposing damaged biomolecules through the action of their internal enzymes, regulating the cellular redox state, and mitigating oxidative stress. To facilitate rapid monitoring of intracellular biothiols, particularly within lysosomes, we constructed a lysosome-targeted biothiol fluorescent probe, PHL-DNP, in this study. PHL-DNP exhibited excellent photophysical properties in an aqueous test system, including strong fluorescence enhancement response, excellent selectivity, and low detection limits (Cys 16.5nM, Hcy 16.8nM, GSH 21.3nM, Cap 26.6nM). These attributes enabled easy and efficient qualification of Cys on test strips and accurate determination of the effective content of captopril tablets. Notably, PHL-DNP demonstrated low cytotoxicity and precise lysosomal targeting. Through bioimaging, PHL-DNP not only monitored changes in biothiol levels under oxidative stress but also assessed biothiols in complex biological systems such as live HeLa cells, zebrafish, tumor tissue sections, and radish roots. This provides a promising tool for quantitative analysis of biothiols, disease marker detection, and drug testing.
