Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), well-known for its unpleasant rotten egg smell, was traditionally considered as a toxic gas. However, recent studies have demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide is an endogenously produced gaseous signaling compound (gasotransmitter) with importance on a par with that of the other two known endogenous gasotransmitters, nitric oxide (NO)[1] and carbon monoxide (CO).[2] H2S has been recognized for mediating a wide range of physiological effects. Studies have shown that H2S can have an effect on the cardiovascular system [3] by acting as a K-ATP channel opener.[4] Several studies have shown the protective roles of H2S, in situations such as myocardial ischemia, most likely through a combination of its antioxidant and anti-apoptotic signaling effects.[5] Further studies also showed that H2S may be of therapeutic benefit for the treatment of ischemiainduced heart failure.[6, 7] It is also a modulator in the central nervous system,[8–10] respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, and endocrine system.[11] It seems that hydrogen sulfide exhibits almost all the beneficial effects of NO without generating the toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, it also acts as an antioxidant or scavenger of ROS. Furthermore, research has indicated that the hydrogen sulfide level is related to diseases such as the Down syndrome [12] and Alzheimer s disease.[13] Therefore, recent years have seen a steady increase in interest in understanding the physiological and pathological functions of hydrogen sulfide.[11, 14, 15] One significant limiting factor in studying hydrogen sulfide is the lack of sensors and agents that allow for its rapid and accurate detection. Methods using colorimetric,[16–18] electrochemical analysis,[19–21] and gas chromatography have been reported.[22, 23] However, catabolism of hydrogen sulfide is known to be fast, which could result in continuous fluctuation in its concentration, leading to difficulties in the accurate analysis of this important molecule. Current methods do not allow for fast, accurate, and real-time determination. Different endogenous sulfide concentrations have been reported with most publications suggesting the sulfide concentration in blood is in the range of 10–100 mm.[24–29] There have been other studies suggesting much lower sulfide concentrations.[30, 31] Therefore, new methods are needed for the efficient detection of sulfide in biological systems. With the idea of developing a new method that will be useful for rapid assay of hydrogen sulfide concentrations under physiological conditions, we undertook the effort of searching for a selective chemosensing agent for this important gasotransmitter. For easy use in a biology laboratory, the chemosensing agent should 1) act fast (within seconds) under mild conditions, 2) be chemically stable for long-term storage, 3) be sensitive for detection under near physiological conditions, 4) show a linear concentration–signal relationship within physiologically relevant hydrogen sulfide concentration ranges for easy quantitation, 5) show minimal or no interference by other anions in the blood, and 6) be functional in aqueous solutions and blood plasma. Herein, we report the development of a fluorescent chemoprobe and its application in the determination of hydrogen sulfide in aqueous solution, serum, and whole blood.Fluorescence is one of the most sensitive detection methods. Thus we were interested in selecting a fluorophore, which has a high quantum yield, emits at a long wavelength, and responds to hydrosulfide by fluorescent property changes. Dansyl is a commonly used fluorophore, and well-known for its strong fluorescence and long emission …
