Problems solved by technology

In recent years, synthesized carbon quantum dots usually emit blue and green fluorescence, which limits their application in the biological field
In addition, in terms of cell imaging, most of the current fluorescent nanoprobes are limited to the cell matrix and cannot penetrate the nuclear membrane into the nucleus.

Abstract

The invention provides red fluorescent carbon quantum dots used for detecting pH in cells and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) weighing 0.1-0.2mmol of p-phenylenediamine solution and dissolving in 0.075-0.15mol of ethylenediamine, to obtain faint yellow liquid; (2) arranging the solution to a microwave oven, reacting for 5-25min with the power of 20-100%, cooling to room temperature after reaction is ended, and adding 5mol / L of HCL until gas escapes; and (3) putting the obtained solution into a dialysis bag of 500-1000Da, then putting the dialysis bag into a containing with water for dialysis for two days, to obtain a pure carbon quantum dot water solution, and performing freeze drying on the obtained pure carbon quantum dot water solution to obtain light pink flocculent carbon quantum dots. The carbon quantum dots prepared according to the invention have the characteristics of long launching, high quantum yield, good biocompatibility and the like; and the carbon quantum dots have sensitive response to pH and can penetrate a nuclear membrane to enter a cell nucleus, so as to enter the whole cell, thus achievingan effect of detecting the pH of the whole cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to nanometer materials, in particular to a red fluorescent carbon quantum dot for detecting the pH in the whole cell, a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] As an important metabolic and intracellular parameter, cellular pH plays a key role in regulating the physiological and pathological processes of many cells. Abnormal pH will cause dysfunction of cells and tissues in the body, inhibit the activity of enzymes and proteins, reduce the body's immunity, and eventually lead to diseases such as inflammation, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, changes in cellular pH are closely related to apoptosis. In the initial stage of apoptosis, cancer cells generally cause intracellular acidification, and intracellular acidification has become an important early feature of apoptosis. Therefore, sensitive and accurate real-time in situ monitoring of cellular pH is helpful for understanding cellul...
