Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a glutathione fluorescent probe, a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique
[0002] Thiols play an important role in the antioxidant system of cells and are important components of many proteins and small molecules in living organisms. Small molecule thiols mainly include glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys), and homocysteine (Hcy). A large number of physiological phenomena in organisms are considered to depend on the reactions involved in these thiol-containing thiols, such as redox reactions, methyl transfer reactions, and sulfur metabolism reactions in organisms. The concentration of thiols contained in living organisms is considered to be related to many diseases. Deficiency of thiols in the organism can lead to many health problems such as growth retardation, hair loss, lethargy, liver damage, weight loss, and some skin disorders. Glutathione is the most abundant small molecule thiol (1-10mM) i...
