We report herein fluorescent probes equipped with dual-quenching groups exhibiting superior sensitivity than probes with mono-quenching groups. Importantly, with this strategy, the probe with dual-quenching groups react with HOCl through two distinct reaction mechanisms, which reduce the plausible side reactions with other competing analytes and enhance the probe’s selectivity. As a proof-of-concept study, we designed and synthesized a probe with dual-quenching groupsDQ-HOClto detect HOCl, which is one of the most important ROS and linked with a number of diseases. In addition, two control probes with mono-quenching groups,MQ-HOCl-1andMQ-HOCl-2, were also synthesized for comparison purpose. Fluorescent assays demonstrated thatDQ-HOClindeed shows ultra-high sensitivity and selectivity compared with probes with mono-quenching groups. Furthermore, the probe has been successfully utilized to imaging exogenous/endogenous HOCl in living cells. Moreover,DQ-HOClwas applied to visualize HOCl in kidney tissues from rat due to the increased penetration depth and lower tissue autofluorescence from the nature of two-photon probes.
