AI Technical Summary
Existing viscosity-responsive fluorescent probes have high residual fluorescence at low viscosity, insufficient fluorescence enhancement at high viscosity, large molecular weight, and poor water solubility, resulting in low signal-to-noise ratio and poor biocompatibility, making it difficult to achieve high-sensitivity detection of microenvironment viscosity.
We designed a small molecule fluorescent probe based on the furan-phenylmethylene ketone structure. Utilizing its unique donor-π-acceptor structure, the fluorescence is quenched in a low-viscosity environment and significantly enhanced in a high-viscosity environment, achieving high signal-to-noise ratio, excellent water solubility, and good biocompatibility.
It achieves high sensitivity, quantitative detection, and real-time visualization monitoring of microenvironment viscosity, and provides a high signal-to-noise ratio fluorescence response, suitable for live cell and live in vivo fluorescence imaging.
