Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfide (H2Sn, n > 1) is an important component of reactive sulfur species (RSS), which is an important substance for maintaining the redox balance in cells. However, limited recognition moieties are available for hydrogen polysulfide probe design. In this study, we have constructed a small library containing several organic molecules to explore a new specific recognition moiety for H2Sn fluorescent probe design. To validate the discovery, two fluorescent probes, 7 and BCC, were further developed based on coumarin and its derivative. The probes exhibited desirable specificity for H2Sn monitoring, which can be used for detecting H2Sn in solution and cells. The new specific recognition moiety for H2Sn fluorescent probe design discovered in this work has certain guiding significance for development of H2Sn probes exploring biological roles in the future.
