A red-emitting fluorescent probe for visualizing mitochondrial microviscosity by cell imaging
CHEMICAL PAPERS(2021)
Abstract
The visual detection of mitochondrial viscosity is of considerable significance in that it is associated with various cellular functions. Herein, a novel red-emitting viscosity probe YD-Mito constructed by linking phenylamine derivatives and benzo[e]indolium through a C–C double bond has been designed and synthesized. It was found that YD-Mito exhibited a special response to viscosity accompanying with a sharp fluorescence enhancement (20-fold) at 620 nm. Importantly, YD-Mito can precisely localized in mitochondria independent from membrane potential and visualized the mitochondrial viscosity. Therefore, probe YD-Mito could provide a powerful tool for the determination of mitochondrial viscosity.
