Hypoxia stress causes cell damage and apoptosis by producing excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is a universal concern in biology and medicine. Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) plays a vital part in the oxidative injury of tissue proteins in the pathogenic mechanism of many disorders, which is a one of ROS. Thus, excessive pro-duction of ONOO- may be one of the crucial factors leading to hypoxia stress injury. However, due to the unstable chemical property and strong reactivity of ONOO-, most of the existing detection ways cannot image and detect its level in real time. Herein, in order to selectively imaging and detecting ONOO- in living cells and in vivo, we synthesized a fluorescent probe Cy-CF3 (our fluorescent probe for detection of ONOO-). Cy-CF3 was capable of monitoring ONOO- with excellent sensitivity and selectivity. Using Cy-CF3, the relationship between hypoxia stress and ONOO- was evaluated. The probe was also employed to sense the change of ONOO- in zebrafish under hypoxia conditions as well as determine ONOO- in living mice with acute liver ischemia. Taken together, the proposed probe maybe a powerful chemical tool for the study of ONOO- in biological mechanisms.
