A fluorescent probe, 1,4-diethyl-7-(3-pyridin-2-yl-acroyloyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-oxa-1,4-diazaanthracen-6-one (probe 1), with an emission in near-infrared region was developed for sensitive and selective detection of biothiols. Probe 1 is essentially non-fluorescent due to the strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from the electron-donating tetrahydroquinoxaline moiety to the electron-withdrawing pyridine group. Upon the treatment with biothiols, the conjugation system was broken via Michael addition reaction between biothiols and alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone, which inhibited the ICT process and resulted in a remarkable fluorescence enhancement with an emission maximum at 660 nm. Moreover, probe 1 was successfully applied to image intracellular thiols in living cells. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
