Abstract
ABSTRACT As a vital biological molecule, H2O2(Hydrogen Peroxide) is involved in different physiological and pathological processes. And in addition to this, H2O2 is suitable for medical wound disinfection, environmental disinfection and food disinfection. Accordingly, it is of high significance to conveniently and effectively detect H2O2 in the environment and organisms. This subject synthesised a fluorescent probe Pyrimidine-Se by using selenomorpholine and pyrimidine dye, which detect H2O2 in an aqueous environment. Pyrimidine-Se has a large Stokes shift (Δλ = 155 nm), which can specifically and quickly quantitatively detect H2O2. When the probe Pyrimidine-Se reacted with H2O2, the Se(II) in the selenomorpholine was oxidised to Se(IV), so the electron withdrawing ability of the electron withdrawing group of Pyrimidine-Se was improved, and the fluorescence intensity of the probe were enhanced. Interestingly, Se(IV) can be reduced by GSH (Glutathione) to Se(II) to quench the fluorescence, and this redox cycle can continue several times, which indicated that it can have a potential of real-time monitoring the redox state in vivo. The probe was also satisfactorily used to detect H2O2 in Argentina Bloodfin larvaes and abnormal H2O2 content in some organs was detected.
