This invention belongs to the field of
organic chemistry, specifically providing a class of compounds that can be selectively activated by
hypochlorous acid to release hydroxyl groups, along with their preparation methods and applications. These compounds, triggered by HOCl, can efficiently release target molecules containing hydroxyl groups, enabling corresponding treatment, intervention, or functional execution. Simultaneously, these compounds can generate detectable signals such as
fluorescence while releasing the charge, allowing for in-situ / real-time monitoring of HOCl levels and the release process in
lesion areas, providing a basis for
disease assessment and
efficacy tracking. These compounds remain relatively
inert in normal tissues or when HOCl is at physiological levels, reducing disturbance to HOCl in normal areas and helping to maintain overall HOCl
homeostasis and basic
immune defense functions. This invention develops a class of compounds that can rapidly respond to
hypochlorous acid, release hydroxyl-containing drugs, and monitor
disease treatment.
